I'd like to write a pre-build event script that checks if the ServerEnabled node (a setting in the Target > Publishing tab) is set to true. If it's checked (set to true), then I want the pre-build script to set the ServerEnabled to false. :flare:

For example:
IF ServerEnabled == true then set to ...

Thanks, devjoe. Where do I set the window size for a popup in Flare? I see where to define the thumbnail size but not the popup window size.

Hi. I have followed the Flare help documentation, but my thumbnail image is not displaying full-size when a user clicks or hovers it.
It seems to me hardcoded to a height for some reason. I'm using Flare 2017. Is this a bug in Flare? I just followed their instructions.

I'm using Flare version 12.

Why would the Build Events tab not be showing in my target? I see all options except the Build Events tab.

Hi. I've created a Flare plugin that displays a custom ribbon tab and a custom button coded in C#. What I'd like to do is:
- have the button add a CSS class from my style sheet to the selected text when the button is clicked. Sort of like similar functionality of the default bullet button on the ...

I have a database set up on a MySQL server, but Lingo doesn't want to connect. Can you use a MySQL database with Lingo?

Also, if MySQL is not an option with Lingo, what if we stored the Translation Memory database on a shared network drive? Can two or more authors read/write to the TM if it's ...

Yeah, you can include a glossary proxy for TopNav, but it automatically creates hyperlinks on the words that don't go anywhere and don't do anything. Probably better off just typing them into a topic so you can format as you like.

Here's the solution: Apparently, you have to set it in the Styles tab.

Hi awells12. The Menu option is not available in Tablet or Mobile mediums. See attached image.

I started a new TopNav project from the TopNav Basic2 template in Flare 12. When I try to align the menu to the left and put the logo on the right, everything works fine in Web view. However, in Tablet and Mobile views, the menu is aligned to the right and overlaps the logo.

Is this happening to ...

Hi everyone. I'm wanting to remove the hover effect/action on my TopNav HTML5 project. When users are in landscape mode on a laptop/tablet (i.e., Microsoft Surface) and they tap a menu item (or a submenu item), Flare takes them directly to the linked topic and does not allow them to use the dropdown ...

How do I put HTML (it's a simple unordered list) in the script so that it shows beside the logo in the output? Do I change the ".text(document.title)" to ".html(document.title)"?


Here is the solution I've come up with, and it seems to work!

$(document).ready(function(){
/* (1) This adds a ...

Hi Dave,
I've been experimenting with your Flare project file. When I put content between the <div> tags in the jQuery toolbar script:
$("#header>a").after('<div id="header-title"><b>HELLO</b></div>');
$("#header-title").text(document.title);

Nothing shows beside the logo after I build/view the ...

Hi Dave,
When I try to put HTML code in between the <div> tags in the jQuery script for the toolbar, the word HELLO does not show beside the logo:
$("#header>a").after('<div id="header-title"><b>HELLO</b></div>');
$("#header-title").text(document.title);

Hi Lisa. Yeah, I tried that before, and the border will still show up when you're using an iPad. So, changing the color was the best bet for me.

I have changed the body tag in Styles.css to make all my topic pages with a black background. The only thing is, it's not changing the Search Results page to a black background. It defaults to white. Does anyone know where I can modify the page background color for the Search results page?

Hey Chunkee.... i found it, but I guess you'll have to change it manually each time you publish or build your project. :evil: (How horrible, right?)

I changed it manually, saved the css file, and then re-built my project and it overwrites back to the white border. So, if you don't mind manually ...

I thought that too, chunkee, at first. But Topic Container doesn't have a border property to change. I have the Background Color and Gradient both set to solid black.

I'm wondering if it's in the styles.css somewhere, but I cannot find it in there either.

I've changed the <body> tag to produce a black background for all my topics. Where is the style producing a white thin border around the page so that I can change it? I don't want the white border around my page.

cantfindthissetting2.PNG cantfindthissetting.PNG Paul, I have changed this setting, and it's still not changing the container element. I've added an attachment. I'm using IE9.


Hey, Sellarush, welcome to the forums.

This is the setting you want to change:

There are two settings ...
