Re: Internal Error Assistance

Digging up an old one here.

I'm having the exact same issue and am stuck as I can't publish a project.

Version Control project to project

Howdy, I tried to search on this topic but all the search terms were to common. We are about to start work on a version 1.1 of a product since 1.0 has been released. Management wants to lock down 1.0 and have all the help docs archived. v 1.1 is not going to add a lot and to me it would make sense j...

WebHelp and Search Engine Optimization

Being our Help is publicly available and an integral part of our site we are looking at methods to make WebHelp more crawl-able. Since all the content of help is buried under javascript and can't be directly crawled by the search engines we are looking for suggestions on how get past this.

Re: WebHelp Compiler Error: "Internal Error: Out of Memory"

Funny, I had this same issue yesterday in 4.2 after adding a .ico item to the skin. The most annoying part of the error was the day before I added more memory to the PC taking it from 2gb to 3.2gb, the limit XP 32 bit address.

Pulling the .ico file and saving as a .png solved the issue for me.

Re: Subversion source control question

Subversion has been a royal PITA. We are a very small shop of 3 users, one Windows, one Mac and one Linux and we use a lot of open source products. SVN 1.5.x is the package of choice and Flare does not play nicely with it. Being the only one that uses Flare what I've resorted to is saving locally an...

Re: Propigating Style Sheet Changes across Multiple Projects

Read the relevant parts and makes perfect sense.

Now if it was possible to link them all and changes made in any of them propagated across all linked projects that would be great. Sounds like a feature request!

Appearance Setting in Profile is not Being Applied

Created a profile and added a border on the Appearance tab. When I view the profile the settings are as specified however when an image is captured a border is not added. I need to go into the images properties and manually add the border. Did I miss something?

For example I created a specific table style that will be used for the same type of table in all the projects. Ideally I'd like...

Re: Change Background Color of Single Page in Topic

Issue resolved. Madcap again provides a level of support all software companies could learn from.

The fix or workaround for this issue:

Create a new html class with desired background color and apply to the desired topic.

Did you double-check that the Stylesheet Editor was set to the default medium and not the print medium when you made the change to the body class?
