I have a tri-pane project that is output as HTML5. When I right-click any node in the TOC / Contents and select Inspect , I can see the node is wrapped in a DIV.

<div>
<span class="label">

I have many Flare projects created using the Tripane HTML5 template (I believe that is what I used). When I visit one of these sites created with Flare, Firefox browser console reports

This page uses the non standard property “zoom”. Consider using calc() in the relevant property values, or using ...

Thank you laurieschu for posting a reply. I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue, but I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Madcap and Atassian (Confluence) have both spent time with me looking at the issue but there has been no resolution yet. Madcap even set up a test Confluence environment for me ...

Greetings. Did you find a solution to this problem? I've been using the Confluence integration / import for almost a year now without any problems. Today I get the "Unable to reach server" message exactly as you described. I generated a new API token but that does not help. I can get to the ...

Greetings. How did your AWS deployment go? Currently, I use a simple website and FileZilla for the FTP client but may need to do something more advanced to handle authentication in the future. Another item to consider is video. Last year, we started preparing short application demonstration videos ...

I heard back from the fine folks at Madcap support regarding the seemingly random file delete on re-import. The reply is "...the Confluence import is generally intended as a means to transfer content from Confluence into Flare to continue working in Flare. Reimporting repeatedly from Confluence will ...

Greetings. I have a Confluence wiki site with approximately 900 topics organized within many folders and subfolders. I set up an import using Madcap Flare and to my amazement, the import process was able to resolve the majority of cross-topic hyperlinks. Confluence remains the set of master ...

Greetings. I have a large Confluence site and I have used the Flare importer to bring it into a Flare project. I am leaving the file links in place and I often re-import files because the development staff prefer using Confluence to edit documents. The re-import process works nicely with one ...

I like using xrefs because Flare will update the reference for me if the first H1 in the referenced topic changes.

<MadCap:xref href="admin_company.htm">Company Profile</MadCap:xref>

I use xrefs within a "Related Topics" block at the end of each topic as well as in-line references. These are ...

Because you install HTML5 Help locally, I assume the URL is something like file:///C:/application/help/topic.html.

You might be able to add some inline javascript to your master page. Something such as:

<body>
<p><b>[%=Primary.docTitle2%]</b></p>
[b]<p id="urlLine">
<script>document ...

I use forms embedded in Help topics to allow the reader to execute API methods against their application instance, provide topic feedback, and answer quiz questions. For feedback and quizzes, I submit the form data to api.elasticemail.com and it gets sent to me as an email. Refer to https ...

I had a similar error attempting to import Confluence pages from one of our public Confluence sites. Using the Flare import, I am required to provide credentials for Confluence on the General "page" before I am allowed to view and select the actual pages. So I just provided my credentials for ...

Oops! You're right Nita. I use a tripane skin. Thanks for correcting that.

I had a similar requirement. Readers often knew what they were searching for but did not know which document to find it in. I have a large number of Flare projects based on the HTML side nav. Users get into a specific document by going through a portal (also a side nav Flare project) and then ...

I have a side nav HTML project that I rebuilt today with Flare 2020. It displays fine within an iframe used within a support portal. What type of HTML output are you publishing? It's a long shot, but did you try clearing your browser's cache? If you manage the site, did you flush the site cache?

In that code, you are constructing an email. There are three parameters being provided: mailto (the email address you want the feedback sent to), Subject (for the Subject line), and Body (the content of the email). The subject and body can be anything you want. %20 represents a space. The sample ...

In the two troublesome Flare projects, have you verified the Target file is referencing the correct Favicon skin file? This would be on the Skin "tab" - there is a Skin in the General area and a Favicon in the Component Default Skins.

Dave Lee's solution worked for me using an HTML5 - Side Navigation skin (every Flare project I have has a Dave Lee solution in it).

My first script set every DIV to display = 'block'; but that ended up destroying the rest of the navigation. There are many Div elements. So, per Dave's comment, I ...

zappy0

No. I was using tripane and I apologize for missing the significance of the side navigation. Even worse, my proposed solution has stopped working for me in tripane and my attempts to find a solution in side nav have also failed. While I can get a script embedded and run it, it seems like something ...

Do you mean dropdowns created with <MadCap:dropDown> </MadCap:dropDown>? If yes, you can control the open/close default by applying style via script. However, it seems the drop-downs do not have unique IDs (maybe there is a way to assign them). So, to force all of the drop-down lists open for a ...

Thanks BedfordWriter! It's been years since your post, but the solution worked for me on Windows 10 and Corel Paint Shop Pro. In my case, the string was

"C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro 2020 (64-bit)\Corel PaintShop Pro.exe" "%1"

I had a similar requirement for users to be able to search across all documents or just search within a specific type (API, Help, Reference, etc.). Madcap Flare has a feature called Concepts and within each Flare sub-project I created a Concept. For example, the API document has a concept named API ...

I found a temporary solution. Flare appears to convert the <object> tag to a <video> tag when publishing to HTML. Once I understood that, I was able to set the volume by using a script.

I've tried various JavaScript ideas, but I was unable to set an ID on the <object> tag and have that survive the ...

I have embedded MP4 videos into my topics for HTML output and it works wonderfully. The videos are published as part of the Flare project to Resources/Videos/. The user needs to click play to start the video. However, the volume is always set to 100%. I can set the MadCap:Param_muted to true, but I ...

I'll post my likely solution here in case others come across this post. I have tested this on a few small projects and it appears to work. I already have a variable named docTitle in every Flare project.

I added [%=Primary.docTitle%]: to the Topic Title field on the Topic Properties for every ...
