I've changed the text on the "Related Items" dropdown in the stylesheet, but it isn't being changed in my output.

In my stylesheet (I'm only using one), I went to the relatedtopics style and made the change there, as per already noted instructions elsewhere in this forum. However, the output still ...

I realize this is probably three months too late to be helpful, Michelle, but...

1. Open your stylesheet (Content Explorer -> Resources -> Stylesheets).
2. Ensure you have Advanced View mode on. You should see a list of classes in the left pane and a set of Properties in the right. If you see ...

In RH, one of the tabs in the Topic info pane was Status. This enabled me to check boxes about the topic's status: In Review, Pending, Complete, and so on.

Does Flare have this feature? I am currently using v3.1.

Seems like an easy feature to implement, but I can't seem to find something that ...

That worked. Thanks!

By default, does search highlighting change the size and weight of the text that is highlighted?

When normal text in my WebHelp output is highlighted, it's simply bolded and highlighted. However, my H1 text, which is a few points bigger and red, get turned into normal text when highlighted. Remove ...

RoboHelp had a site map function.

Why doesn't Flare?

I need to reorganize my help system, and a site map would help tremendously.

Am I missing a feature that does the same function but is called something else?

Thanks.

I just found out that for some server-side authentication to work, I have to place some Javascript in the main frameset file (the OUTPUT FILE field in the BASIC tab of the Target).

I can place it in there manually after I generate an output; is there a way to place it in the source files?

I am also having this issue.

One potential reason is that my site is behind a login screen; users must login to our Oracle-based server before they can even see the help system. Is the Feedback Service encountering the login screen behind the scenes as it tries to authenticate when I click the ...

I am interested in getting the Feedback Service. I notice that comments/posts are segregated to the page they're part of. Which is fine and a notable feature of the system.

In my help system, I have a table on the home page that shows, when users log in, what the latest changes are. However, I ...

What you need to do is make sure that the topic has the focus before clicking on the Find in Content Explorer button. If another part of the interface has the focus then the Find In function doesn't work because it doesn't know what you want to find. What I do is click in the text of the topic ...

I have this same issue, except I am using v3.1.0.

Any ideas? Locate content in TOC works fine, but not in Content Explorer. Wherever the focus happens to be in the Content Explorer, that folder that is highlighted just sort of lazily flashes, but it's not the folder that contains the file ...

Did you ever specify a masterpage for the <html> tag in the stylesheet? If you did, then I believe that'll override what you have specified in the target. You should specify a masterpage in the target and not the <html> tag if you want the masterpage applied to ALL topics. If you want to have a mix ...

I have a related issue: I have multiple master pages. I also have multiple targets, each of them assigned to a different master page. But no matter which target I select, it always selects the same master page.

I even applied conditions to the master pages and targets, yet no matter which target ...

Yesterday the palette was there, today it's gone.

The only unusual thing is that it was named MyPalettes. The default palette is called MyPalette. However, both were used successfully for months. Then MyPalettes suddenly disappeared today. The name should have nothing to do with it; a computer ...

Should underlined links be used on a WebHelp system for bicycle riders?

I don't see blind people up in arms because local area trails aren't marked with Braille Botts Dots.

In fact, WebHelp systems for bicycles (and cars, skateboards, wakeboards, etc.) should have a MAXIMUM font size, say 8pt ...

Can you rotate an image in Capture? I have some graphics I added to the palette. I then drag the graphic from the palette. However, I can't seem to rotate it. Is this basic ability not present in Capture? I am using 2.0.1.

There are occasions where the XML Editor doesn't display exactly what you see in the compiled output. If it's fine in the output, then ignore it for now and submit a bug report to http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx . It's probably a bug in the underlying Internet Explorer component that ...

When My Profile is set to JPEG, Capture keeps wanting to save my image as .BMP. And if I let it save it as .BMP--guess what!--I get a 'Failed to run command 'Save'. Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' error.

It shows me the captured image, but I can't do anything with ...

In RoboHelp, it was easy to tell if a topic was in the TOC or not.

How does Flare handle this?

Here is my workflow:

-January I create 50 topics, a TOC, and then publish.
-In June, I add another 50 topics, in various places throughout my help system.
-Now I have 100 topics, but I don't know ...

Is there a way to add an automated Modification Date variable to Flare?

By automated I mean that the date only updates if I open up a topic and make a change to it. I currently use the date variables but, of course, it updates to today's date regardless of whether I make changes to the topic or ...

I can tweak the hover color, but right now it seems to be stuck at the same color as my TOC background. How are they changed independently?
