I'm using Flare 11, with HTML5- tripane skin

What I am trying to do is write my own styles for the Table of Contents part to the left of the ouput.
I created a stylesheet and linked to it in the Target properties > General > Master stylesheet.
I wrote this in the stylesheet:
#toc.tabs-panel ...

Thanks to RamonS and David. I've done a mock-up based on tripane, I'll use the points you made to back up the assessment that it won't affect SEO.

This seems to be implied by Madcap's communication, and it appears to be a belief shared by top brass in my company.

Yet what I read about it seems to contradict that. For example, on this forum, StraygoatWriting said
"Google can and does index iframe content and has done for a while now (do a ...

Thanks Dave!
I found that by adding the following (indented) at the end of Example 1 in your ModCap.flskn, I could insert content where I wanted to, ie below the header and above the TOC:
/* Example 1 ...*/
$(document).ready(function(){
...
$("#home").after("<p>ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ</p>");
});
/* End ...

Hi all,
Based on a tri-pane skin I would like to add some custom content above the TOC and below the header. Specifically I want the TOC to contain info about the guides describing one product, and above the TOC I want to have a drop-down listing the available products. How could I achieve that? I ...

I know Tripane output is derided as old-fashioned, but I have a couple of issues with Top Navigation (correct me if I'm wrong):
* with Top navigation, there's no expand/collapse in the TOC (at least out of the box). This may be desirable for some users, but it means if you want to move around the ...

If you are using the Tripane output, here are a couple of lines of javascript you can add to your masterpage to make the TOC appear automatically if the reader found your topic via Google in the web:

<script>$(document).ready(function(){
if($('.MCWebHelpFramesetLinkTop').is(":visible")){
window ...

I've since tried to do the same with a project created based on the Empty skin, this also outputs the same error message. It sounds to me as if there's some serious technical limitation preventing you from doing this. I'll try it with TriPane to see if it works there...

Hi,

I'm trying to create a website experience combining tech documentation with other types of content (downloads, forums, etc).
I created a project using the Top Navigation (advanced) template.
I added a topic, added it to the TOC, and linked it to a target (html5-type) from another project, as ...

Thanks, that solved it.
Actually I had already encountered that option and vaguely knew there was a check box somewhere, but couldn't remember where or what label it had.
I find it rather confusing. They should at least re-think the label.

I copied a chapter from one guide TOC to another. When I build a PDF or Word target linked to the destination TOC, the sub-topics of the chapter appear as level-1 chapters. WHen I print an HTML target the sub-topics are in the right place.
In the Printed Output tab of the main chapter, I have a ...

Seems to work... What had me confused is you have to repeat the operation of moving the tabs from the second pane, for each different type of open document - such as search > open search result, build, double click in TOC. Once all that is done and saved, you get all your tabs in a single pane.

Every time I do a search or a build I get a second pane under the topics pane. Same happens when I select View in TOC. I want to keep a single pane in the middle, with new items appearing as tabs - just like in a browser. This gives more vertical space. I sometimes move all the new tabs to the ...

Really cool, and very useful when you have lots of formatting to do in a page.
A pity they didn't put the keyboard shortcuts directly in the macro manager. Adding a simple macro+shortcut looks like a complete visit of the Flare interface...

Things are looking a bit better. Someone advised me to delete the existing output folder and kill any process related to Acrobat reader in the task manager. Seems to work

Well no, it's not a network drive.
The content is input from Word
I'll try outputting to C: , be back in a second...
Seems to be working for the moment, although the progress bar stops in mid-air for a while.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Seems to occur randomly when I change chapter numbering settings in the TOC

Exact error in log file:
<Errors>

I've been given this address, trying it out:

Hi Nita,

I'm a bit confused about tech support. I've been searching on the web site and I find stuff about gold/platinum support plans (I don't think we have those) and my colleagues aren't very clear either.
Is there an email address that anyone with a license can contact?

Francis

The IT people did a user change on my PC and now I get a message asking for my license code. I am then asked to enter the activation code. When I do that I'm told the activations are already used.
I can't log on as my previous user any more.

"Support resolved this. " > how?
Flare tells me my license is already activated. My machine has changed names. I can't go back to log in as the previous user. How can I erase the previous activation? Is there a file somewhere I can delete?
