Just sent you a PM, Bill. I'll get you a copy of the docs via email.

We embed SurveyMonkey quizzes ... the last page in the path contains the quiz. This allows us to track user progress for the most part, and then when the user completes the quiz, we get a notification on whether they've passed (and can then issue a certificate).
Thanks for this look into how you ...

Our training team has created a series of videos and other materials for users to view as part of their overall training, and we're planning on providing links to these in the training area of the Help system. We would also like to include a form of some kind to allow users to be quizzed/certified ...

OUR GIT expert solved it:

2. Access Flare project directory, right-click empty > Git Bash:
3. Paste the following into the Git Bash (below credentials must be identical to what appears in Gerrit):
git config --global user.name "<Your User Name>"
git config --global user.email <your email>
Thanks ...

Hi, did you submit a bug for this? We use Git with BitBucket and haven't upgraded to Flare 2019 yet, waiting for the early bugs to be ironed out first but I suspect this issue would be a major problem for us if it hit.
I did not submit a bug for this yet, as it seems that there is just something ...

Please be aware that new forum members are not permitted at first to send PMs. They have to first have a small number of posts approved by moderators, after which they'll be able to send PMs.
Thanks, Nita! I wasn't aware of that policy. I've sent a PM to bj25x with my e-mail, so we can continue ...

TheGreatAndPowerfulOz, I would like to get a copy of the docs you created for getting Flare set up with Git. I am new to the forums and can't seem to send a PM directly to you.
Hi, bj25x. To send me a PM, just click the "PM" button at right of my post (looks like the following):

I'm having a similar issue. I am able to successfully push local changes to my remote branches, synchronize, etc., however the "Author" information reflects a user of "unknown <unknown@madcapsoftware.com>":

This issue seems to have occurred only after upgrade to Flare ...

Hi, djrussell.

You're in luck! After fooling around (and failing a number of times) with getting Flare set up with Git, I decided to document several processes that we had success with. I was going to attach the documents here, but apparently the forum doesn't allow the upload of PDF files. I'll ...

Every section (or "chapter") of our HTML5 Top Navigation online Help system includes an introductory topic, whose content is typically short and sweet—just enough to give the user an idea of what the topics in that section will cover. Each topic, including the intro topic, includes a contextual TOC ...

Hi, all.

I did some searching in the forums for discussion around my particular question, but didn't come up with any hits. I'll admit my search wasn't exhaustive , so forgive me if this is a "repeat"! :)

Here's the deal: I have both my Flare project source files and output files stored in Git ...

For top navigation output, we can just add some properties/values to a ".title-bar-section a.logo" selector in the main style sheet of the project
As with any one-off customization to a given bit of application functionality, we ought to expect that new application releases may "break" the magic ...

I really couldn't take the "flashing" of drop-down content on page load any longer, so I spent some time today in an effort to get to the bottom of it! I'm pleased to report that I've come up with a working solution (a workaround), to override what I believe to be a flaw in the way Flare creates ...

Thanks for the info posted here!
... this won't work in PDF output because MadCap's PDF engine doesn't know how to interpret the multiple classes...
One thing I discovered in implementing a custom font in Flare myself is that the multiple-classes issue for PDF output has been resolved. Hooray! (I ...

... none of the SVG files are coming out in the PDFs I generate from Flare!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your SVG files, Fiona! From the statement above, it sounds as though you are able to generate PDF output with Flare, but your SVGs are just not present or displaying. Is that ...

Thanks for this link, GDonn; just the sort of clear, step-by-step info I was looking for

Hello, all.

I just built a project using an HTML5 Top Navigation template, and I've discovered that when any page containing drop-downs is loaded, the (normally hidden) content of each drop-down is momentarily displayed on screen. After that, the drop-downs function as expected, but the fact that ...

@Psider / @Nita Beck,

Thanks for your valuable feedback. The addition of "overflow: auto" to the "div.note" selector in my style sheet did the trick!

(Sorry for the delayed response. I was out of the office for a few days and didn't see your posts.)

Hello, all.

I've recently begun using HTML5 top navigation output for one of my Flare projects, and I noticed a curious issue with the way "note" divs (don't) wrap around the side menu. I'm using one of the out-of-the box templates from MadCap, so it just looks like an oversight in design.

Here's ...

I've just figured out how to do this for HTML5 top navigation output, as well (which doesn't have a "Toolbar" tab in the Skin Editor).

All the same settings apply to the logo background, under the "Styles" tab of the Skin Editor, as described in my previous post about HTML5 tripane output. For top ...

I just noticed the "s.data.split is not a function" JS error in my HTML5 - Tripane output, as well.

Based on the console info, I'd have to agree that it's coming from MadCapAll.js (line 22):

Uncaught TypeError: s.data.split is not a function
at d.OnMessage (MadCapAll.js:22)
at dispatch (jquery ...

Okay, MadCappers... I'm really excited to report that I've discovered a pretty easy way to insert an SVG logo in my tripane HTML5 output!

As many of you will know, MadCap Flare's HTML5 skin editor only supports the specification of images in PNG, JPG, JPEG or GIF format for the header logo's ...

I thought that if you set the max-width property for your <img> (or, more precisely, all image classes) to 100%, that says that the image can take up a maximum of the width of the container in which it's put.
Success!! Thanks so much, ChoccieMuffin. Such a simple solution; not sure how I missed ...

Hi, all.

I think I've done a pretty exhaustive search for information on this topic here in the forum, and in the Flare help system, but have come up empty so far...

Here's the situation:


The content of most of my PDF output is presented in outline form, and some of that content includes ...
