That is an awesome design.
I'm wondering, can you program the skin so that the left navigation panel is always on the window? Without having to click that hamburger icon?

I would love any jQuery that would actually work. I had jQuery working in Flare 2017 r2 when I put jQuery in a folder in the project and pointed to it: "../Plugins/jquery-latest.js"

That stopped working in Flare 2017 r3. I've been informed that Flare has its own built-in jQuery, so I shouldn't ...

Checking the scripts - The breadcrumb trail does work when the scripts are removed, so it must be the scripts. However, I haven't changed the scripts at all from when I added them in Flare 2017... and they worked in Flare 2017. I published right before I upgraded.

Checking the console in the ...

I am having the exact same problem. Support is telling me that the only way to get the breadcrumb back is to remove all my scripts. I am waiting to confirm that they mean the jquery scripts because they didn't say, but I am assuming they mean the jquery scripts.

It worked in 2017 just fine. Now ...

Thanks for the great answer!

This is my setup. I've always wondered - is there an output setting that allows you to replace the link that has the TOC identifier in it with the alias name?
It is not necessary, but it would be prettier.

Thank you both very much!
The Windows upgrade thing is a little concerning because I could not reverse an upgrade; those come from my company's IT department.

Has anyone had issues with r3?
I had terrible issues with r2 and went back to 2017, so I am leery of upgrading again.

For me, Flare always crashes when I close after zipping the project. This has been happening for the past few year.

Often times top management decides "We are agile now!" without having decision making become agile as well.

RamonS made so many good points. I'll add to this one because I remember that upper management used to ask for all these reports that could only come from a waterfall system. The product ...

I had the same problem and documented it here: https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28981#p126873
I also went back to Flare 2017 r1.

Was testing really skipped for this release? I knew it would be risky with this being the first Agile release... those never go well. I'm curious.

Yes! I use mini-TOCs in the exact same way and they are all broken too.

When you uninstall Flare R2, do you have to do anything additional to the registry? To remove everything ?

EDIT : I answered my own question by searching my archived email:

After uninstalling via the Windows Control Panel ...

Flare was not able to open my TOC in the source files; instead, it created a blank one. I received an error that a file with same key already existed. :?:
For some background, just prior to upgrading, I had applied the new LinkedHeader variable from the January 2017 release - which is phenomenal ...

The link is for Top Nav outputs. I use the regular tri-pane. Does this information also apply to tri-pane?

Hi,

I'm noticing something when I print topics from the HTML5 output. My files are posted to a website and when I click the Print icon in the skin, I notice that my graphics are splitting between pages (see attached graphic).

As far as I understand it, it's ...

I also noticed something about tables in snippets yesterday.... and remembering why they were so frustration. I was inserting a snippet and nothing showed up. I looked in the XML code and the snippet was there...but nothing showed up in the editor.

I figured it out - open the snippet file and make ...

Just a tip here - I've been through so much trial and error here that it's hard for me to remember every one of my steps.

I've worked with indented tables and I've worked with tables in snippets. Some of my snippets have to include the tables.

One bizarre thing I noticed was that the formatting ...

Hi,

I'm managing a large number of links. I'm using aliases to keep the links stable. Trying to manage them in large numbers is getting ... well ... annoying.

Is there a way to export the alias file to a spreadsheet?

That's really interesting Gareth.
I have had to uninstall and reinstall Flare a few times. Next time I'll check the names.

I'm following up on this because I'd like to know best practices for a public YouTube video - embedding, linking, etc.

Is the link in the Address bar better?
What about the link that shows up when you click Share? (The one that usually has the following taxonomy: https://youtu.be/)

Great suggestions everyone!

You put the condition on the file, will that also tag the graphics in the file to not go to the Content folder in the output?

I'm curious to know your methodologies around storing removed topics. These would be topics you removed because the functionality was removed.

- Can you keep a removed topic in the project and not have it in the output at all?
- Can you zip it with graphics and store it in a folder outside the ...

Dave,

Now, that is an idea! I'll try that. Keep it simple - I like it.

This one is a bit of a doozy. One of our guys in Support just noticed that the support hours are wrong in the help system.
I have these hours inside a div set on the master page in my project.

I cannot update the help files yet because we are in the middle of a release and there are just too many ...

Thank you. I had a feeling it was something simple that I was overthinking. That worked very well.
