Thanks! I got it to work.

Just upgraded to version 10.0.1. Tried to output, got this:

The Errors tab shows ID: 10083 (Buffer cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer). This occurs during the "Generating final output..." step of the build, which is pretty much the very last step. The output directory contains ...

If you have this in XML form from a database, could you not use XLST to filter/display the content as a web page?

A web page within a Flare project, or something completely separate from Flare?

If your idea is to have database/XML-driven output, then presumably your source data is not part of ...

Could you have a global project of parts?

Then when you create your Ford Focus project you use global project linking to add the newest version of your battery to the focus.

You would control the parts from the focus project, not the parts (global) project.

Hmm, that's interesting, never ...

I don't think such functionality exists in Flare, but I was wondering about a database-driven output. To use my current Flare system as an example, let's say I have a bunch of Ford vehicles, each with its own Flare page (Focus, Explorer, Taurus, etc.). Let's say I have a bunch of part numbers for ...

Just switched some content from WebHelp to HTML5 today:
https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/guides/infinitydevguide/infsdk-developer-help.htm

I like this. I notice you used an image for the box shadow. Why not use the box-shadow CSS spec? It's an HTML5 output anyway, so browser compatibility ...

Is there a way to follow a system? Part of our jobs at the TechComm team are to help answer questions. I do not think I should have to follow each individual topic to get a notification when someone asks a question on Pulse? If there is no way to do that, then this is a huge gaping whole. SME's are ...

How do I force a redraw of the topic after making a change to its stylesheet? Running Flare 9.1.2 on Windows 7.

To see the effects of my stylesheet changes, I am having to close and then re-open the topic. The changes are properly displayed in the Styles panel immediately, but not in the topic ...

Check your Javascript settings. My guess is something is preventing it from firing.

Does anyone have any experience that they can share with getting a Pulse server into production? What was the timeline and what tasks were involved from planning to implementation? I am trying to put something together for management that will outline this process and provide some time and resource ...

I use Javascript hyperlinks in my HTML5 outputs, which open a new window and initiate a search on one of our other cross-domain websites. I essentially append the part number they click on onto a URL with a JSP search page on the other end.

In Safari, this works fine. However, in IE and FF on W7 ...

Regarding breadcrumbs, is there a way to anchor them to the top (or bottom) of a page so that they always remain visible even when someone scrolls?

I saw a nice WebHelp system in which a thick border surrounded the entire main frame content and didn't scroll with the content. This got me thinking ...

I have two friends who both were running Flare on Windows (not sure which OS) on Parallels on MacBook Pros. One was 32-bit, the other was 64-bit Windows. Both of these folks moved to VMware. Apparently one of them learned (not sure where) that Parallels doesn't properly handle the latest .NET ...

Does anyone have any experience running Flare v8 on Windows 7 (64-bit) under Parallels 8 on a Mac?

I ran a similar setup, but with 32-bit Windows, and it ran fine. Now, Flare seems to take 5-10 seconds for every input/button press. It's simply unusable. The System Requirements clearly state that ...

Hello Ineffable.

You should receive an email outlining this also.

I am having a style display issue as well.

I am running Flare 8.1.2.

I've tried adding the style by handcoding it into the style sheet. It shows in the Style dropdown under the Home menu item. However, none of the formatting the style contains is applied to my content.

When I select content ...

I was able to install and launch Pulse server to demonstrate to my supervisor and a few potential customers. The only thing is that the trial expired 6 days, not 30, after the installation.

You can see for yourselves here: http://166.78.148.133/Pulse

But during those 6 wonderful days, it proved ...

This is a great hack. I love it.

One question: Has anyone figured out how to make the highlight display when the found term is part of a link?

I'm no JS master, but I am working on my own custom solution. Let's see who gets there first--me or Flare's developers!

Please keep us up to date regarding your scripting efforts! We are really longing for this feature!

I was beaten to it! http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t ...

Yup, sign me up for this as well. Submitted a Feature Request.

My customers went nuts after realizing this feature disappeared when I offered HTML5 WebHelp.

My workaround has been to provide a link to the original WebHelp system. My help system has hundreds of long pages filled with tables that ...

YES, what you said! 8)

Seems like an organic progression of the current topic tagging feature.

When you say your colleague has done "extensive work," what do you mean? Has he implemented a post-compile hack that offers similar functionality? I've implemented quite a few features (albeit, small ...

Does (Will?) Flare support a tag-based search feature. Currently, search filters provide similar functionality, but it assumes the user has at least some cursory knowledge of what they're seeking.. Let's use the example used in Flare's help system:

Let's say you have a group of topics that have ...

Last year I had a quick look at the search of a Webhelp and it seems to be pretty bad (compared to other javascript searches I know). That could make people want insert their own search or, if the help is online, use a google search. That sort of search or the displaying of results are at least ...
