Re: TopNav - SearchResultsProxy

Sorry Dave for not being clear. What I mean by using the Topic MasterPage is that I want the results to appear like a topic (which is assigned the Topic MasterPage in the Properties ). And you're correct, Help has in bold red letters not to insert the SearchResultsProxy into a MasterPage (and I ...

TopNav - SearchResultsProxy

I'm trying to display search results using my Topic MasterPage . If I use just the SearchBarProxy without the results proxy the Default MasterPage is used to display the results. If I follow Flare's Help instructions and add a topic with the SearchResultsProxy , the home page displays instead of the ...

Re: hexadecimal value 0x00 is an invalid

I just got something similar to that the other day. You may have a unicode value of 0x00 (which I think means "NULL") somewhere in the XML syntax. Try searching the project for that character string.

Re: Modify Top Nav Bar advanced styles

So (using Dave's tip) I discovered it was the following style, added to my CSS, which overrides the style where it come from (.../Skins/Fluid/Stylesheets/Styles.css) and ...

Re: Translate Project by MemoryDatabase

I'm not exactly clear on what you're asking. Translation Memory is a database of segments, or phrases you have already translated. If the phrase happens to come up again in another project, the translation is displayed in the TM Suggestions pane.

Re: Updating translations into existing Flare content

When you have updated translations, the existing project becomes obsolete with the updated project taking it's place. Since you're familiar with SVN, think of the old project as a tag and the new project as a branch.

Re: Extending a style across multiple paragraphs

I don't know what happened to the last few posts on this thread, but I found that you can use soft returns (Shift+Enter) within the p.Note style tags to accomplish what you are after.

Re: Extending a style across multiple paragraphs

Make a copy of the p.Note style and change it to div.Note . I haven't figured out how to add div's in the XML Editor yet, so I always do it in the Text Editor :

<div class="Note">
<p>paragraph 1</p>
<p>paragraph 2</p>
<p>paragraph 3</p>

Re: Error: Invalid line-height

My guess is that you have a line-height property with an invalid setting in your stylesheet. Try opening the CSS in NotePad (from the context menu) and searching for "line-height" to check them all.

Re: Top Nav formatting

The first thing I see is that some of the <li>'s have nested <p> tags. I'd remove them to see if that helps, because the list items that don't have nested paragraphs appear to be fine. The easiest way to remove them is to right-click the block on the left side of the XML Editor and select Unbind ...

Re: Top Nav Header logo on OtherTopics

Thanks for posting, you just solved a big problem for me. The mockup I'm working from calls for a different color logo on topic pages and I couldn't figure out how to do that. Now I can use your code to omit the top nav from the topic pages and should be able to replace it with a div.

Perhaps the biggest adjustment for me using Flare was, and sometimes still is, the whole Medium concept. But once you get the hang of it, setting styles for different outputs is just part of the job. I don't know your audience, but I don't think that would fly with mine.

Re: Printed Documentation

The short answer is to Insert the proxy into a blank topic. Use the p.TOC styles of your CSS to determine which heading styles are included.

For detailed instructions, go to Flare Help.
