MadCap Software Forums

There are a few date variables you can add to the footer in the, is it called a page layout now? Last time I looked at this was many years ago so it was master page back then. But from memory I couldn't get the date the topic itself was modified - I think it ended up being the last time the topic ...

Inline in the topic? Otherwise I'd look at the stylesheet code to see if I could find a text-indent entry for another style that looked likely.

There's a setting to link generated files to source files that you use when you want to maintain the content in Word. Do you have that set? See the 'Reimport' heading here for more info. https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2022/Content/Flare/Importing/Other-Applications-Files/Word/Importing-Word ...

Perhaps you have a text-indent set somewhere? I'd start by checking the p (normal) style.

The key doesn't look right. I'd try running the reg provided earlier, but replace the path with the path you need.

I believe all you need to do is delete the whole ?cc line and then replace &subject with ?subject

You could also delete the 'var ccemail' line for tidiness but I don't think it would break anything to leave in.

And I'd just like to note I really appreciate that MadCap use their own tool to provide help for that tool (unlike certain of the competition).

Assuming this all worked with the same version of Flare last time you generated and published, perhaps try disabling all extensions to see if things work after that? And while it might mean nothing, one of the errors relates to an extension and I once had an experience where IT deployed an extension ...

I can see it when I try to print the RH2022 help pages to PDF.

As a brute force workaround, try setting the following:
(The code, without '!important', is in the print.css file on the website.)

Rather than creating a new project you could also try taking a copy of the project and storing it somewhere like c:\myprojects and changing the output path to c:\myoutput (or whatever, just directly off C:, to ensure it's not going to interact with onedrive). Given the Temporary folder should be ...

In corporate environments, the Documents and Desktop folders are often mapped to OneDrive. Are your projects or output in those folders maybe?

In the absence of any other advice, and noting that I've never done it, I feel like the files need to be published with an aspx extension? You can set a custom extension in the target somewhere, from memory. Or alternatively some change needs to be made to sharepoint by an admin to allow htm files ...

Something to be grateful to Win3.1 for. :p

Place the .bat (for batch) file in any folder (directory) you want to query and double click it.

Nice.

If you want a file listing so you can get a bit of a visual idea of your longest file path, the following will generate a text file in the project folder which contains a list of all the files in your project, including the full path to each file.

1. Navigate to the project folder in File Explorer ...

Maybe this will help

Poking around in the Developer Tools Sources tag, it looks like the dropdowns are added by custom javascript, and hard coded urls are stored in another javascript which is used to populate the list. Do you have a friendly developer who could help you implement something similar?

There's a command line tool that I think can be integrated somehow with source control. I've never done it though. Something to look in to; at least some new words to search on the forum until anyone else with experience responds. :)

They're not exactly duplicates as the case is different. In the cobra _print.css are these styles written as upper or lower case (open in a text editor to check)? If they're upper case, you could try changing one to lower case to see if that solves the issue.

Asking your IT team about the virus checker is a really good idea. I once had a project slow to unusability and the culprit was a change IT had made to the antivirus settings. I think excluding the output directories from the virus check fixed the issue in our case (although it was a long time ago ...

I wonder if this method to add links to the header would work with a menu proxy?
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30865

While it uses scripting, the script itself shouldn't need to be updated.

<div id="header-links">
[menu proxy goes here]
</div>

When you say "searching by name" do you mean there your users are clicking on a little help icon next to the Name field in the application?

It's been a long time, but I think if the above is what you mean, then each field needs it's own unique ID just like for a screen; the help topic needs a ...

You can set the font-style on the div because you haven't specifically set the font-style on the p tag. If you changed the p to include font-style: normal you'd find the italic from the div wouldn't be applied.

I wonder if you could create a custom medium (e.g. ViewInFlare) and unset the thumbnails just in that medium, then use that medium as your editor view? Theoretically everything else would be inherited from the default medium, so only the thumbnail setting would be different.

Double-check that the capitalisation of the path in the output exactly matches what you've typed as it's possible something different is happening than you expect. (you've said it works okay for some Mac users, so probably this isn't the issue, but worth confirming)

You could also try clearing the ...

The dev tools are pretty cool. There's a lot to take in initially, but it's pretty easy once you know what you're looking for.

Quick walkthrough.
I created a simple htm page (not in Flare) and opened it in Chrome. The other browser have similar tools, but may look and behave a little differently ...
