Re: Adding Feedback widget to topics
I'm late to the party, but I've discovered -- as has been mentioned in other threads -- that Flare 2017 and later breaks JS. I tried to implement Dave's code, only to find that I have dead "Yes" and "No" links. Is there a workaround to get the script to execute? For the moment, I...

Re: Online Output: extra page when printing workaround?
Hi Nita, I'm in the same situation. We have a breadcrumb trail and a print button. When the user clicks the print button, the breadcrumb prints on the first page and the content starts on the next page. Could you share what you're putting in your print media query? I went into our print medium and a...

Including robots.txt in a build
We are moving our help files to an AWS host. This means at least 20 separate help systems linked from their respective applications, with no common landing page or root directory. We need to include robots.txt in the root directory of each help build. Is there a way for Flare to include robots.txt i...

Re: Wildcard search not working?
I was able to delete the list tags using a regular expression. I still don't understand why the wildcards don't work.
Code: Select all
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;" start="\d">

Wildcard search not working?
I have a Flare 10 project that was imported from Word, and has a lot of unwanted ordered lists. I need to remove all the lists and fix the formatting. Rather than unbind each list individually, I was hoping to just remove them all with a few find & replace actions. A typical tag is <ol style=&qu...

Re: From Flare to QT help
We just did something similar for a project. The application is in QT Framework. I gave the software developer CHM and mobile builds. Here's what he did: I maintained an internal map in code whereas help html pages are mapped to screen pointers(helpIds). So whenever user clicks a button, appropriate...

Re: ClearCase Users
My problem with the plug-in was that I was using the remote client. I just had the fat client installed (Rational ClearCase Explorer 7.0.1.0). When I attempt to bind my project to ClearCase, Flare finds ClearCase but gives me a new set of problems. I have worked through three scenarios with no succe...

Re: ClearCase Users
I'm trying to locate the Microsoft Source Control plug-in for ClearCase. It looks like I'll be tracking down the actual installation CDs in a large corporation. Does anybody know if there's an easier way? I can't find it on the IBM/Rational web site.

Re: Available styles list shows too many unwanted styles
Thanks, Kevin. I started a new CSS, and it's possible I opened a skin file by mistake. I will try cut/paste my classes to a clean CSS and link it to my project.
