MadCap Software Forums

Thanks Feebeegeebee, I will have to ask our IT people if the server is running on Linux.

Here are the replies I got from madcap support:

"The Micro-Content behavior goes off of the first phrase added to the Micro-content File. For instance adding a phrase Traffic B as the first entry and after adding Traffic A and C in the same micro-content file. After refreshing the phrases in the ...

Hi all,

We are using Madcap search and are testing microcontent (v2019 R2). Our output is published to a server location and made available to our customers via a password protected website. We have noticed that sometimes when you search for a term, the search spinning icon displays as if the ...

Having a similar problem. Were either of you able to resolve it?

Unfortunately, if I create a new project using the default out-of-the-box styles and settings, it seems to work fine so it must be some setting or style I have added, but I cannot figure out what exactly.

Hi there,

Just two questions around microcontent and phrases that maybe someone can help with?

* If you add two similar search phrases to microcontent, how does flare determine which one to display? For example, let us say I add the phrases "traffic lights" and "traffic crossing" and I link each ...

Am also wondering if there is a workaround for this?

Great, thanks Psider. Any idea if there are any additional impacts with setting mc-heading-level: 0?

Hi there,

In our HTML output, we have a menu proxy that is set to display all the headings (h1, h2, h3,..) in the topic you are viewing and this looks fine when there is more than one heading in the topic. However, some topics, only have a heading 1 (see attached screenshot). Is it possible to hide ...

Great, thanks. I will give that a go.

Great thread! Probably a stupid question, but I have two screens. The larger screen has a screen resolution set to 1920 x 1080 so when I align the title to where I want it, all is fine.

However, on my smaller laptop sized screen (resolution 1600 x 900), the position of the title moves. I used ...

Just as a follow up. This has been reported as a bug now.

Hi there,

I am trying to add come microcontent search into my project. The associated content that I am linking the microcontent search phrase to is an embedded movie hosted in Vimeo. In IE 11, when I use the search phrase, no microcontent displays in the search results, indeed no search results ...

Thanks very much Dave. I had started reading about a CSS media query called prefers-color-scheme to detect a user's browser colour preference but not sure how it could be used and I am far from a CSS expert

Slightly off topic, but just curious. If a user switches their browser between light and dark themes and the HTML output is viewed from the browser, is there any way for the CSS/Javascript to automatically detect this and display the appropriate colour scheme?

Have started to investigate Elasticsearch also. The setup took a while, but now evaluating its advantages and disadvantages as compared to the default Madcap search. I like the autocomplete feature of Elasticsearch, even though it can be slightly slow to react as you type in a search term and it ...

Am not too familiar with the micro content feature because I only just got 2019 recently. I think there is a Madcap webinar scheduled about this feature this week so they might have some information that can help you.
I could be wrong about this, but It looks like Flare themselves might use a two ...

Madcap support got back to me and pointed me to documentation that I couldn't find previously. Turns out this is a feature: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... 20software

Thanks all, have reported it as a bug. Maybe it is an Easter Egg and I will won a prize for spotting it

Hi all,

What does the "Powered by MadCap Software" check box do on the advanced tab of a target? I looked through the documentation but could not find anything about it.

thanks,
mark

The target has a skin tab and there are option there for adjusting the responsive settings maybe?

Madcap logged this issue as a feature request on my behalf in 2015

I think I saw something about this somewhere in these forums before. Not sure if it helps, but based on what I saw before, we use the following CSS:

.MCPopupContainer::after
{
position: absolute;
top: -8px;
right: -8px;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
display: block;
content: "";
background ...

Hi there,

For our HTML output, we include a glossary proxy in a topic to generate a glossary of all our terms. The glossary proxy is set to generate headings so that each glossary term displays vertically under its appropriate alphabetic heading (A, B, C,..). We have been asked it if it is possible ...

Perhaps the following might be a start for you: https://www.smartoutput.com/persistent- ... re-topnav/

Hi there,

I had issues with cross-references to bookmarks when fixed header was set to Web. Madcap support offered the following solution:

1. Set Fixed Header to All
2. Open the css in a text editor
3. Scroll to the bottom and paste the following:

.MCPopupContainer
{
z-index: 1001;
}
