Sorry I searched and searched. Is there an option to turn off all hyperlinks (be them URLs or Popups) so that when my printed .pdf is outputted my links are not blue underline hyperlinks?If you click on the link they are obviously broken.

Thanks for the help.

Hello everyone. We would like to use SharePoint as an online server where our source files can live. Our intention is to have users launch MadCap Flare (version 7) and open the .flprj files and project folders from SharePoint so that the writer can edit the documentaion and then save the work back ...

Thanks!

I have a link to my PDF on a "Resources" topic. I created a publishing destination for my PDF target that puts the PDF in a "docs" folder in the Resources folder of the project.

That just sounds like a place where you are saving your .pdf and then linking to it via the original answer.

I'm ...

is there a reason why you don't want to use the java script option?

It's a longer process. I have a development team who uploads and manages the server, where these files go. So in essence I have to send them the build they upload it then I would have to figure out the file path fix the Java code ...

Thanks lacastle, that idea was the easiest solution and my last resort. I was thinking more of a .pdf icon in the toolbar that when clicked on would launch the .pdf file.

I have added the image to the toolbar icon set now I would need to create the "hyperlink".

It seems the only "action" is to ...

So I have 2 targets, my primary being a WebHelp output that gets accessed online via a help button in our software.

My client wants to have a .pdf output version which I have created easy enough. But they want the .pdf version to be easily accessible from the WebHelp environment via some kind of ...

I need certain topics to be books so that the book icon shows and not the topic icon. If I change the topic icon in the Skin it changes all topics to book icons. I don't want to do that. I can split my topic into 2 and place the second portion under the topic thus making the parent topic a Book but ...

Are all 20 of your countries in one target? or do you have different targets for each country? if you had different targets, you can use conditions to make only the appropriate glossary/dictionary be included.


Yup all the same target. It's not like the Brazil folks will only be looking at Brazil ...

do you have to have it in a topic, or can you make a glossary (with the accordion tab option)? also, there are a good amount of topics in this forum about glossaries and putting links at the top of a topic. for example:

I have no idea where to post this so Mods please move to the correct section.

I have "Dictionaries" in my build. Each dictionary is pasted within it's own topic.

This post has 2 questions:

1. If I just copy/paste the 100+ page dictionary into a topic I want to have a A-Z bar at the top of that ...

Dave Lee,

Just curious if MadCap has a quick reference guide to popular/various code for items like this. Seems like a very useful thing to have lying around and available to us users. I am not a programmer so I have no background knowledge of Java code but I can easily copy/paste what you are ...

Thanks Dave Lee ^^^


Is there code for having an email launch?

So say I create a button for Contact and upon clicking the contact button Outlook would launch with the populated email I have set.

As you can see from the image above, the color scheme on SleekWarm doesn't lend itself to an effective selected topic highlight (the yellow on gray drowns out IMO). Is there a way to remove this "highlighted" feature? I tried ...

I tried searching for helpon the java script for the "on-click" section for the buttons within a skin.

I have created my own custom buttons for my webhelp toolbar and I would like some of the to "link" to websites and some buttons to link to a topic within the Flare Build.

Please point me in the ...

Nope, sorry. Although if you have the original RH project you should be able to copy the image files from there into the appropriate folder in Flare. Or better yet, did you try importing the RH project into Flare? I haven't done that myself, being that this place didn't use it and I haven't used RH ...

Thanks LTinker68,

We use SnagIt. I was hoping there was an easier way then recapturing every screen shot and saving them as image files. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

Noob here testing out MadCap Flare to replace the Robohelp artifact left on my computer by a previous employee.

Long story short I can't figure out how to insert a simple screen shot. Seems like I would be able to simply copy/paste but that won't work. Any direction would be ...
