Hi,

Here is the result of comparison of Flare 11 and Flare 12 outputs:

1. EPS images not displayed in PDF output (I am trying to get ghostscript for 64-bit installed by IT Support team and hope that fixes this issue)

2. Table row styles seem to take precedence over p.note styles. Can't figure out ...

Hi,

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I am following these steps when I build my TopNav HTML5 output:
1. Build output via Project ribbon > Build Primary
2. View the output in IE
3. Edit a topic in Flare and click Preview button for topic preview
4. Switch to the output that was kept open in ...

Hi,

Has anyone upgrade from Flare 11 TopNav to Flare 12 TopNav? If yes, were there any issues?

I have a Flare 11 TopNav project and use SVN for source control. Curious to know if I need to clean-up any of the project files before the upgrade.

Thanks,
Deepti

If I have bookmarked a topic, where can I find the list of topics that I have bookmarked. I wish the list would be somewhere under my forum login so that I can access my favourite topics easily.

Thank you for share. I am experiencing similar problems and after reading this...looks like I have to redo the master project files into appropriate folders and set up all conditions.

Hi,

Is there a way to achieve this within ordered and unordered lists? I have li followed by p.note or div.extendednote and I want to keep the li and note together.

Thanks,

Hi,

If anyone is looking for a fix for this, modify the stylesheet for the Home page.

Open Home stylesheet (StylesforHomePage.css) via the text editor and insert the code below.
Thanks,

I tried this. It doesn't work. I will raise a bug.

Thanks,
Deepti

Hi All,

I have tried a lot but cannot get this to work.

I want to hide h3 (within the topic) which is h4 in the TOC, but I want h3 to appear in the MiniTOC generated at the Chapter beginning and Topic beginning. See screen shots.

I have set mc-heading-level of h3 and h4 to 3 and 4 in order to ...

I had the same requirement. Thanks to the slideshows in Flare, I have added a marquee in the masterpage using a slideshow.

Deepti

Phew... finally stumbled upon the culprit when I was trying to fix something else. There was no stylesheet linked to the OtherTopics masterpage. As soon as I linked the appropriate stylesheet, this issue got fixed

Thank you.

Hi Dave,

I have checked my stylesheet for Home page. Here is the code. I am not sure why the code gets doubled up in Topic.css and why it overrides this piece of code in the stylesheet.

Thanks,
Deepti

Hi All,

I have modified my Top Nav Home page and stylesheet many times. I cannot figure why an additional border appears around my slideshow. Upon inspection, it seems to be coming from Topic.css. A piece of code is duplicated in Topic.css and the second set adds the border. How and where is this ...

Hello,

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I guess there were some local styles applied to the paragraph. I reset the style class in the source file and there were no problems after reimporting the file.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I have converted my existing project to Top Nav by following steps outlined here http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare11/Content/Tutorials/TopNavigationAdv/HDYDT_Advanced_Conversion.htm

Upon publish, I see that the p.note style (from my mainstyles.css) within snippets is not applied ...

Thank you Dave. I will submit a feature request on this one. I don't know if it is just me, but, I think such setting the condition at the instance level will be quite helpful in single-sourcing content.

Thanks Lydia.

Hi,

Is there a way to use a single snippet within the same topic and apply snippet conditions at the actual snippet level? Is there a way to add the html code to achieve this after inserting the snippet.

Example, I have a procedure that users can proceed in two ways. If they follow method 1, they ...

Hi Lydia,

Is there a setting in Flare to avoid the white space around the decoration frame?

Thanks,
Deepti

Hi,

I tried using the method described here https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14785 to add tooltip to the filter icon that appears on the Home Search bar and the Top Nav Search bar. But the tooltip does not appear.

Is there a way to add tooltip to the filter icon?

Thanks ...

Hi,

Someone in my company with very good eyes, pointed out that the icons in the slideshow are not centred. The gap between the prev arrow and the left image is not equal to the gap between the next arrow and the right icon.
Has anyone tried to fix this?

Thanks a lot Dave. It works. I don't know where I was wrong earlier. Maybe the Background: Transparent setting that I had and I could not notice the difference.

Thanks,
Deepti

Hi,

Is it possible to configure the Search bar differently on the Home page and in the topic pages?

I was under the impression that HomeSearchBar skin controls the look of the search bar on the Home page and the Search bar configuration in the Header section of Top Nav skin controls the look of ...

Thanks a lot Dave. This works

After reading many discussions on this topic, I decided to modify the "Where Do I begin" button in the TopNav template to "Help - Tree View" so that users can switch easily to either view.

You will need two URLs and two TOCs.
