Re: Word Output Security Notice
I've been getting this as well on v2021 r3. It's especially annoying because it pops in the background and I don't notice that the build is waiting on confirmation. The issue seems to be that Flare is generating Word docs in a "non-trusted" folder. I added my Flare project structure as a T...

Re: Error when building HTML5
Well, that was a sticky one. Turns out I had a couple of topics with "extra" namespace declarations hiding in the source code. These were inserted years ago, perhaps because these topics were edited by my UI guy outside of Flare. These have compiled fine for years, but Flare v2020 r2 choke...

Re: Error when building HTML5
I am having this same problem with compiling HTML5 projects in 2020 r2. Can you clarify what you did? Did you create a new HTML5 target and mirror the settings? I've tried that and I'm still having an issue. The compile seems to fail when applying the MasterPage. I've tried creating a new master pag...

Re: Security issues in Fortify On Demand static code analysi
One of our Dev groups has provided a solution to the cross-site scripting vulnerability with jQuery 1.12.4 with Ajax. We are implementing it and testing it, but I thought I'd share since several people have reported the same issue. They provided some jQuery code that should prevent cross-site script...

Re: Security issues in Fortify On Demand static code analysi
If you're chasing the same issues as me, I don't have any more information. I don't have any open tickets with them, so I don't expect any more official word from MadCap. On the issue of the jQuery version, I think we just have to wait and see what's in the next 2018 update. MadCap's policy is not t...

Security issues in Fortify On Demand static code analysis
We run all of our products through the Fortify on Demand (FOD) static code analysis tool to look for security vulnerabilities. Many of our clients are now doing the same thing with our software solutions. Flare's HTML5 help has been flagged for several vulnerabilities. I'd be curious if anyone else ...

Re: Flare's internal HTM files appearing in SharePoint searc
In case anyone stumbles across this, I found a solution within SharePoint.

Top nav flyout menu expands off the screen to the left
Hi everyone - In some cases, the sub-menus in my top-nav output are expanding to the left, but sticking off the screen (see below). You cannot see most of the options on the sub-menu because they are off the page. Is it because of the length of the menu option text? Suggestions? Thanks! Bob navmenu_...

You were right Dave, it was self-inflicted CSS damage. I had intended to bump the margin-left setting for ul.navigation so that the menu aligned with the product name above it. But, the rule where I made that change applied to both ul.navigation AND ul.nagivation ul . It was simple enough to split t...

Re: SLOW compile with Captivate-generated HTM files (solved)
I would recommend that you import the Captivate generated HTM file into Flare. Then use Windows Explorer to copy the SWF and standard.js file into the project folders in the appropriate place. The problems we were having were because we did not import the HTM file using Flare. Once we did that, we h...

Okay, that makes sense. So your Camtasia HTML pages work in your own environment, but fail when you publish them to the web server.
