Times New Roman font shows as fallback for the search input and search result page instead of Arial. I use Flare 10.2, and this is how it looks: Search2.png IIS web server settings The web server is configured with the following settings: <staticContent> <remove fileExtension=".zip" /> <re...

Hi again, I tried the following script for the onClick.Event for the English and Swedish toolbar buttons respectively, but it does not seem to work when I tested it on our web server: function URL() {location.href = 'http://servername.com/Uni/EN/';} function URL() {location.href = 'http://servername...

Thank you so much LTinker68 and Dave Lee for your replies. It is highly appreciated. I've added a custom button on the toolbar now, and when I click it the Swedish introduction topic opens. However, I would like the button click to "remember" which language I've selected. So when I click a...

As an alternative you could create a topic to your project and call it, for example, “Downloading training material”.
Add the topic to your TOC.

Then it should not be necessary to add any code development to work.

Hi hferguson, in my project, there was a gap between the image and the header in the dropdown text. See the answer to my question, it reminds a bit of yours:

Hope it will help you forward.

I was able to resolve this issue by setting padding-left: 0px; on the MadCap|dropDownHotspot.
It looks much better now.

Thanks Msquared for your reply. Unfortunately this did not work, I've tried to reduce the space for margin-right as well as padding-left for dropDown, dropDownHead, dropDownHotspot but with no result. The images are 9 x 9 px with no space around them. So the dropdown text still looks terrible :( :?

Hi, I've changed image for dropdown text, and now there is a big gap between the image and the dropdown header. What do I need to change in the CSS style sheet to align with the dropdown body?

I use Adobe Acrobat Professional, and when previewing a topic I can save it in pdf format as shown in the image below. This has worked fine since Flare 7.

Hi, did you try to resize the navigation pane in the skin file? Go to Setup > Pane Size as shown in the image below.

Hi all,

I would like to create language links in the output file of a multi-lingual HTML5 project. Is it possible, and does it require JavaScript?

Like this:

Hi, when EPiServer 7 web platform was launched in October 2012, we published all online help files in HTML 5.
Here is one example for EPiServer 7 CMS: http://webhelp.episerver.com/CMS/7.0/EN/Default.htm

Thank you LThinker68 for a quick reply I think my choice will be the latter, and redirect the visitors as you suggested through the default.htm page.

If I use the HTML 5 web help target and also want to use Mobile target, how do I publish these on the web server so that the correct output format applies? In other words, if users browse the web help on their mobile phones, I want the Mobile target to apply, or else the "regular" HTML 5 t...

Well, then this still doesn't work for Flare 7.1... See my topic http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 362#p79362

No, these fonts are not True Type. Does it mean that they cannot be used, not even for printed output?

Hi, I'm trying to use Helvetica Neue and Gill Sans in Flare. I've changed the style sheet, but still Flare doesn't seem to pick up the Fonts when I generate the output. I'm using a PC and the fonts are located at the hard drive \Windows\Fonts\. Could anybody tell me from which location Flare pick up...

Flare is not so clever. It wants to add and check out imported files because it adds a local copy of the imported files in your workspace. You will only need to check in the project file together with the Content and Project folders to TFS. Make sure that you have not checked your "global files...

Hi NetDisplaySystems, you can have a so called workspace on your computer that reflects the structure in TFS. Use relative links in the Flare import file as follows: 2011-11-30 12-40-47.png Important! To use project linking, the structure of your documentation also have to map the structure of your ...

My contribution to change skin design, part 1: Change background and hover color in the web help navigation pane: http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/default_CSH.htm#OUTW1018F (See the whole topic here: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12930) But there is one thing that does not wor...

I agree to, it would be great if it was easy to change web help skin. At my firm we are about to change the layout of the web help, and we do not have the time for designing it. Please MadCap, add some more templates to the gallery

Thank you Dave Lee, it works now!

Sorry, I don't understand how this is done in Flare 7.2 style editor (advanced view). Please advise me how to change <ol> and <ul> to create sub-list as follows (below is how I would like it to look): <ol> <li> 1. First list item on highest level a. First sub-list item b. Second sub-list item 2. Sec...

Dave Lee: Global linking works fine now using Flare 7.1 and 7.1. We had to change the structure in TFS to make it work.

The TOC heading (style name p.TOCHeading) appends the same style as paragraph tag in print. Please help me out

I have defined the TOC heading in the CSS stylesheet in Medium: (default) but it still does not look correct in the generated print output:
