That's a great tip, Nita. I wouldn't have thought of doing that.

If you want to do linking between the books to concepts in other books, then I'd recommend a single project so you can have cross references, where at least the title will stay up to date if it changes in the source topic.

I gave a presentation at MadWorld a couple of weeks ago on this topic, and ...

If you aren't able to see the linked posts, here are the details of the meetup:

By the way, Hi Kathryn! I didn't realize this original post was from you! Email me if you need help with this. I'd be happy to get on a call and help you understand how this works.

Like Chrisj suggested, Snippet Conditions are the solution you're looking for, if you want a native-Flare solution.

Here's how snippet conditions work:

You create a new condition tag set in your project. I call mine "Snippet conditions" so I remember to never set any of these conditions in ...

I know this only applies to a small portion of you, but we'd like to announce that the Salt Lake User Group for MadCap Flare will be co-hosting a user group meeting jointly with Write the Docs Salt Lake City on Mach 7th at 7pm in downtown Salt Lake City. For more information, please visit one of the ...

Hey Propeller heads!

The company I work for, Venafi, is currently hiring a senior technical writer, based out of our Salt Lake City office. However, we are willing to hire a remote candidate, but some travel (a couple of times a year) would be necessary to attend corporate events. This is a ...

Can you post a screen shot? It might help diagnose the problem.

Thanks

You only see it if you are in the Tablet medium or the Mobile medium.



Welcome to the forums!!

Yes. Content Explorer. Thanks for the clarification.

I imagine that could also happen if the page is conditioned out in the Project Organizer, but not in the TOC, so you wouldn't even see in the TOC that the item had been conditioned out.

Welcome to the forums.

I don't know of any setting in Flare that will prevent the floating feature you're commenting on. I wish I could help.

I saw a presentation on HTML5 search at MadWorld several years ago, so my memory is kind of spotty on this one, but I believe that the following issues affect search. I don't remember their exact importance ranking, though if we can get that info from MadCap, it would make a very useful MadCap KB ...

Can you paste the offending CSS in this thread so we can take a look?

I think A is most likely your answer in this case. I think providing Word and PDF items is not a common (not unique, just uncommon) use case, so people haven't seen it yet.

I would submit this as a bug report to MadCap. The defined Flare setting should apply to all content types.

My guess is that ...

Why are you trying to use a Chrome extension to change the theme? Just create a new style using the skin editor and "Bob's your uncle," as they say.

Not exactly a duplicate, but related to that topic, for sure. Two parts of the same question. In this one, I'm wondering if anybody is using Pendo and how you implement it in your organization, especially if you are using CSH help calls. That may or may not include modifying the default.html file ...

Glad you found it helpful!

This is not a supported feature in Top or Side Nav HTML5 outputs, unfortunately.

I can get you part way there:


h1 {
position:absolute;
z-index:2000; /* This is important because the header bar has a set z-index of 1000, so we need to be higher than that */
margin-top: -145px; /* Your number may vary depending on your logo and header height */
background-color:transparent ...

Has anybody created a post-build action to modify the Default.htm file that gets generated by Flare?

I have a need to add a script to that file. (I have another post on using Pendo, which describes my need; basically, you have to use the Default.htm file to use context-sensitive help, and I need to ...

Is anybody out there using Pendo for analytics and user tracking?

Our company is trying to implement Pendo, but we've found that when a user opens the help system, Pendo's user ID doesn't travel into Flare. This means two things: 1. The user is now anonymous in the help system, so we can't track ...

I click on the blocks in the xml editor, and then click the group button:

Sounds like you have a good use case for it at this point.

I also agree with your comment at the end about keeping styles together. I usually edit my stylesheet manually, but occasionally I'll use Flare's built-in editor--especially for MadCap specific styles. Keeping like styles together helps ...

Here is a presentation I gave at MadWorld two years ago: https://www.slideshare.net/docguy/web-s ... dcap-flare

Look at slides 5-7 for info on where to put your jquery plugin links.
