Could you post an image of what the company websites look like, to give some context?

I am quite interested in 'hacking' the skins etc to customise them beyond the basics. With the help of some other Flare authors, I got out Top Nav looking quite smart. I think, there is a lot of scope to go beyond ...

I had the same issue.

To resolve it, I set the border-radius property in img.thumbnail to 0px and that overrides the skin on compile by the looks of it.

When it pops out, the pop out itself still has rounded corners... that's because div.MCpopupcontainer also gets a 5px radius from topic.css as ...

Another Flare author introduced me to this webinar - http://www.madcapsoftware.com/webinars/ ... cap-flare/

Your needs sound very similar to what Mike goes about doing in his project. Might be worth a look.

What are your table width settings?

You can set fixed or automatic column widths, so i'd wager to say thats something to do with this issue.

I just had a look and it seems like its this -

ul.navigation > li.has-children:after {
content: ' ';
display: block;
position: absolute;
height: 0;
width: 0;
border: 8px solid transparent;
border-top-color: transparent;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-width: 8px;
border-right-color ...

So, I was doing some further research on this at the weekend and found, arguably, the best Flare customization related article I've ever read.

Brigitte, if you are reading.... amazing job.

I was able ...

Thanks Dave.

I thought as much. Feature request then I think.

It always runs off the screen once, then after that first time its always left. So a bit weird.

I'll carry on looking into it.

I have spoken to a couple of other Flare authors about this, and nobody could think of a way.

I am not giving up though, so I dug through the Madcap customer showcases and found a top nav that works how I want.

Note that all the child menus under ...

I think the answer is - not possible... but I'm going to put it out there anyway.

I have a .beta class that adds some colour & superscript to some text. Its to identify a feature as a beta feature (obviously).

Now this works gloriously in my topics, but in the side menu & top nav the word beta ...

Whats wrong with GA?

I am tracking search terms with it. Its free, easy to implement and gives you a vast amount of data well beyond what Pulse would.

You should also consider doing a bit of custom coding to add the bits you need, it would probably end up cheaper. A great Flare author from the ...

Does the word count in Analyser include the words used in stylesheets, scripts, skins etc? Or is it purely topics?

Thanks.

Sounds like one of the following -


Stylesheet assigned at Target level - check to see if there is a Master Stylesheet assigned in the target.
Stylesheet assigned at Topic level - check to see if there is a Stylesheet assigned in the topic properties.
Stylesheet linked within the topic (happens ...

Thats great, thanks Uwe.

I think source control should be OK, as I am not expecting to use any of the internal features. Its the same in my Flare project, its in a repo but I don't use the functionality within flare to control it - thats what Tortoise is for.

I'm led to believe that with Lingo ...

How does lingo handle versioning content?

I have a Flare project with circa 125,000 words. We are about to get this translated to Chinese to start with, then Japanese and South Korean.

If we do the initial translation, how do you go about translating V2, V3 and so on? Is there a way of only ...

Hi All,

So, I have moved onto making a PDF for my project. I have quite a Top Nav that's in decent shape now.

I am wondering how folks deal with links in PDFs. Just style them differently? Condition them out?

My issue is, I have many hundreds of links which work fine in the Top Nav, because the ...

I've noticed a big slow down too. Exactly the same as you, lots of black screens (even happened when support was screen shared in! :madcap: )

Performance is just a pig, I fear that Flare is just generally bad at allocating & managing memory to be honest. I wish they would put some time into making ...

sarrants wrote:Our SaaS app is hosted on Amazon S3 and I upload the Helps there as well. Is that what you're talking about?

I currently copy manually to the AWS container. Ideally I'd like to hit 'Publish' in Flare and have all that happen automatically.

Managed to work this one out. Simply use the background-position property. Then use xpx ypx format. So I used 6px 6px to nudge the image in and down.

According to Madcap support... there is no integration. So that's disappointing.

Hi All,

I want to set a box on AWS as the destination to publish to from Flare, is that doable? Has anyone done it that can offer some advice?

Hi All,

How would I go about adding a bit of padding to this image in the left hand side of the div.note?

https://ibb.co/diwsTF

It stays in the top left corner there and I want to move it to align in the middle vertically.

Is it possible to create a condition that basically says 'always put images into the left frame' and 'always put p, divs & tables into right frame'?

Hi All,

I have been trying to fix my Master Page so the Menu Proxy does not block content as it moves down the page when you scroll.

The Flare User Guide has a good topic on how to fix it here - http://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2017r2/Content/Skins/Flare/More/Setting-Fixed-Topic-Menu.htm ...

Thanks Dave.

And that should go in StylesForHomePage.css NOT the skin right?
