You could always try swapping to the Text Editor and copying the path from there.

that does not do it. In the text editor it's presented with forward slashes. I need the path in normal convention, i.e. c:\users\jesse\help\. I get the same type of path with forward slashes when I go to the ...

Hi,

I just recently upgraded to Flare V11. Prior the this update I am pretty sure I was able to right click an image, go to properties and then easily select the entire path of the image (path and file name) and then copy it. Now I don;t seem to have this option any more. I have taken about a year ...

wow. lots of action since I went to lunch...

Snippets have been working fine. I can see that just inserting multiple images and applying conditional tags to those working as well. I guess it's just a matter of preference. I will probably have to reuse images throughout the project so maybe snippets ...

Hi,

I am currently writing a flare Help system for a product that gets branded as different products. It's a piece of online software that is the same exact software for all companies selling it, just with different images depending on the brand. Of course I would love to be able to maintain one ...

Using the built in search, I couldn't find what I needed. However, I utilized google to search the forum and found this topic. I will try this, as it seems to be what I need. thanks

Hey guys,

When you go directly to a page, instead of getting to it from the TOC or via a search, the page opens without the TOC. Is there a way around this?

For example, click the following link and there is no TOC. (note, this is not my page..I found it in the "Flare in Action" thread Thanks ...

A developer here helped me out with the regular expressions to use. Here it is!

Again, use this Regular Expressions search and replace in order to globally reset the size (get rid of local size formatting) on all images in project.

Use the free app called PowerGREP

Search for

Hmm. That sounds like a good idea but can you provide me with a specific way to do this? What exactly would I enter into the different search fields?

thanks

Is there a way to globally "reset size" of all images in my whole project?

I have added script to the header section of the Master page. This code shows up on all pages but the Default. Instead, on the Default page madcap's own script takes it place. Is there anyway for this not to happen?

I filed a bug report. There is a bug with the Cross Reference Resolver. In other words, the output seems to be OK. It just gives bad errors.

Here's some more info..

With this particular project, it only happens when I override the defualt file type and make it "aspx". (In case anyone is wondering, this setting gets set in the Target file in the Advanced section.)

This doesnt happen with Flare's sample Application Help sample project ...

Use the default .htm extension? I don't see any reason why the file extension needs to be changed. I am assuming that you need the change to make ASP code to get interpreted. What you should be able to do is configure IIS to pull every .htm/.html file through the interpreter. That results in a ...

Hi,

I have a Webhelp target setup that I set to use a custom file extension of ASPX. Upon building the target, I get hundreds of errors regarding bad cross references.

Check first to see if any of the current instances of the word you want formatted like this already have formatting applied. You might end up with a span wrapped around another span.

I thought of that. I know for a fact ...

Tinker, I tried your suggestion, but I still get the same error message. It appears that the '%' is a bad character because it doesn't conform to XML validation rules.

The reason why I need this is because I want to have simple authentication rules implemented on my web help. Right now the files ...

Thanks everyone. I will try to rework some things and let you know what happens.

Hi,

I want to add some asp.net code to each page using c sharp. Here is my code
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">

Fellow madcappers,

Is there anyway to do a Find and Replace and to apply formatting to the words that it finds? For example, I want it to search for the word "Building" and then apply italics to every instance of the word. Preferably it should apply a style, but I will settle for local formatting ...

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the following?

I have created a webhelp system that is posted on the www. However, the only way that I want these pages to be able to be accessed is when a user of our application launches the Help directly from our app. A way that I can conceptualize doing this is to ...

Thats pretty much how I thought it worked Lisa. However, it seems to be "misbehaving"

My defulat target is Webhelp. Webhelp's stylesheet medium is "non print". When I open my topics in the editor, it says I am working in the "Web" layout and that my medium is set to "default". I want that medium to ...

Hi,

I consider myself yo be pretty darn good at using Flare now, except I can't figure out how to set my project to default to a different medium in the XML editor. It's annoying constantly having to change the medium.. Can someone fill me in?

Thanks

Easiest thing would be to create a masterpage and manually enter the code you want into the <head> tag of the masterpage. Set the target to use that masterpage and it'll be applied to all topics at compile time. So you won't see it in the XML Editor, but you might see it in the Preview (depending ...

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can globally add information to the Head Tag to all of my topics at one?

Thanks!

How are you applying the span tag? is this happening in a new topic?

I click and drag to highlight the text. I then click the span tag from the styles list on the right side.
