Hi there,

I haven't heard back from anyone and just wanted to follow up. If anyone knows that answer to my question I would very much appreciate it.

Many thanks,
Paula

HI there,

I've been searching around to see how I can get the topic ratings comment dialog to show and I haven't found it. I used to have it in my webhelp but it's gone and I want it back.

Thanks Kevin that's much appreciated. I am quite certain my links are relative.

They look like this: "img src="../Resources/Images/participation_report_summarystats.png"
So the path to the project isn't actually in them. However, I'll play around and see what I can do.

Thanks!
Paula

HI there, I moved a project file (and it's entire folder structure) from one place on my C drive to another. Now all my images and snippets are "missing". They are all there in my folders under "Resources/Snippets" and \"Resources/Images" but Flare is balking and saying...

Hi there, No I never received a reply with any help on this question. It's quite simple to add google analytics to your site. You just have to add the google code to your Master Page and voila! You can find all the instructions on how to do it here: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer...

Hello,

We run Google Analytics on our webhelp and it's very useful. I'd like to run the Site Search query but do not know what the query parameter is that I need from Flare to give to Google in order to track this. Does anyone know?
Many thanks,
Paula

Hi all, Has anyone successfully used the charting feature? Every time I try and use it nothing happens. I'm following the instructions in the help file. i select the items I want to chart and then click the Chart icon. The charting window opens but nothing happens. I click F5 and nothing happens. :(...

I just figured this out. For anyone who's interested, right-click the snippet and select " View Links".

Hi there,

Is there a way to look at a snippet and see all the places in a project that it is used?

Cheers,

Thanks very much Bob!

Hi there, I want to change the hover font colour and selected background colour of my TOC items in Webhelp output. I haven't been able to find a setting in the Skin Editor that does that, or any information in the Flare help. I"m hoping someone here knows how to do it. There must be a way! Here...

Thank you so much Lisa - You helped me figure it out!
I have a complex selector for images that says li img {display: block;}. This was causing the issue so now I can fix it.

Thanks again!
Paula

Thanks! When I test my code with the default stylesheet it works so it's got to be something in my stylesheet. Stupid question: What is a "complex selector"? Here are my list and toggler style. I can't see anything "funny" in them but I'm obviously missing something. li li {displ...

Thanks for the detailed instructions! I followed the steps but unfortunately I still get the same result. My markup now looks this: <ol> <li>Step 1.</li> <li>Step 2.</li> <li> <p>Step 3.</p> <p>Woo woo woo</p> <p> <MadCap:toggler targets="substeps">Optional Substeps</MadCap:toggler> </p> <...

Okay that example looks really bad.
Here's how I want it to look (roughly) The optional substeps in Step 4 can be toggled open or closed.:

Thanks Lisa. I do want a toggler within a bullet. 1. Step one. 2. Step two. 3. Step three. Optional substeps (toggler hotspot) a. Step a. b. Step b. 4. Step 4. 5. Step 5. I can't get your solution of adding a <p> to the <li> to work. Could you show me using the markup example I attached in my origin...

Thanks Lisa! I'll post a feature request for that.

Cheers
Paula

Hi there, I have a werid problem. Whenever I put a toggler in a list, the bullet, toggle image, and toggler text each appear on a seperate line instead of on one line like I want. If I put the toggler in a <p> tag everything looks correct. It's only when I put it in an <ol> or <li> tag that things g...

Does Flare have a markup validator built into it? This would be very helpful.

Cheers,
Paula

Bingo! That was it! Thanks so much for your help!

HI there, I have the same problem that Todd had in this post: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6842&p=37529&hilit=toggler#p37529 I couldn't find a resolution in the thread and am curious if there is one. I looked at my <p> and <div> tags and they actually have nothing...

Hi there, For some of our courseware, we need a table style that makes a table with 2 columns. Each column needs a different set column width. For example, one may need to be 100px wide and the other column may need to be 200 px wide. We haven't been able to figure out how to do this in Flare. I saw...

Thanks Paul! I do find it very annoying as well and will submit a feature request.

Hi there, I am applyig a master stylesheet to the entire project. The topic looks fine if I just preview it - it has the style sheet applied correctly. In this case we are only talking abot one topic with links to other points in the same topic. T The initial preview looks correct. When I click a li...

I have an odd problem I have a topic with hyperlinks to other points in the same topic. They work correctly however, when I preview the topic and then click one of the hyperlinks, the topic appears without the stylesheet applies. It looks really odd and makes testing difficult. Any ideas as to why t...
