In that case, I'm out of ideas. I'm not a subversion professional so beyond plug & play, I'm lost. I would open a support ticket if I were you.

Andrew, As my first reply mentions, I had another web server running on that same machine at the time which was using the port instead of the real SVN server. Just make sure you're not running Apache, IIS or anything else. Also, try to access https://subversion/ with your browser and see what page i...

Ooops! Hahaha that was my fault! I had a second Apache server running on the same machine and it started before the SVN one. My bad!

I love when this happens. An error message where the description is "there was no error". I've been struggling with getting SVN to work, partially because I'm using VisualSVN server on a virtual machine. It kinda worked for one project, then the other one just doesn't want to go on there. ...

Ah, I guess I was thinking GIT then, not Subversion. The different features of all the source control systems are sometimes confusing.

Andrew, I haven't had the chance to actually try TortoiseSVN yet because our Subversion server isn't ready, but I'm fairly certain that TortoiseSVN knows which files have changed and will modify the server version. The source control binding is absent in Flare, but you still need to actually do it e...

For the interested parties, here's some information on how the Search XMLs work (consider this research on the topic of hijacking the search feature) The XMLs are divided into 2 parts. One Search.xml file (located in \Data\) contains a list of all the topics in your output, a list of "stem"...

Hi JC, For the moment now much actual progress was made, partially because other priorities have been popping up (as they tend to do). I did advance in my research in regards to hijacking the search features, by locating what javascript files were involved in this. As you may know, the "MadCapA...

Thanks guys... I guess I'll need to do my own outside-the-box thinking then.

Yes I'm using WebHelp, but I don't actually want to merge the outputs. The 5 manuals I have are: - Workflow Tools User Guide (Software 1) - Design User Guide (Software 2) - Search User Guide (Software 3) - Scripting Reference Guide (Valid for Design, software 2) - Trigger & Data Capture (Valid f...

Hi there! Has anyone had any experience with implementing a search across multiple manuals? Ideally, I would like for this feature to be implemented straight into the WebHelp's search (since that's where people actually do the search normally). I understand that this would require hijacking the MadC...

Oops, I guess I missed the fact that this section was collapsed when I was reading the CSH Calls for developers the first time!

Thanks for reminding me to RTFM, Lisa

Hi there! I was wondering how to trigger a search (the search pane open, with results) via CSH call. The Flare manual says something about doing it from an application, but I just want to be able to provide a link to a user (or a colleague) that gives them the search results directly. Does anyone kn...

Oh I see, and then even if the method differs in other ways then the name (an extra step for one object for example), then I can compensate for that with the same condition.

Smart!

Thanks Dave

Hi there! I'm wondering if anyone has any experience in repeating slight variation of the same instructions. What I mean is that since our software gives users the ability to add multiple type of objects (text, images, fields, etc), instructions on how to add each of these objects are the same, exce...

That's a little like saying you should create all your websites with pure, correctly formatted HTML 5 and CSS 3, and completely ignore the fact that some browsers don't follow standards 100% and your website may look like crap on one of them. Following Standards/APIs/etc are one thing - not caring a...

Hi Paul, Yes, that's the plan. Flare's support for source control systems other than Microsoft is very marginal and I've suffered from a lot of issues (granted, they were all small when taken individually) that annoyed me regularly. For example, creating a new topic will regularly give you a title t...

I have version 6.1 so it could be a given that "past" issues were fixed, but I've actually seen other posts in regards with issues that came back between v5 and v6, so this may be one of them. I think I'll submit a bug report.

After using TamTamCVS with Flare for a while (something we'll stop doing soon in favor of external tools, switching to SVN and TortoiseSVN soon), I've encountered an annoyance that really makes me twitch :evil: . Flare has absolutely no idea how to ignore hidden files such as the "CVS" fol...

Tara, Don't be fooled - you're not locked into what MadCap thinks is a valid source control system (which, according to them, is whatever Microsoft can come up with). If you don't mind doing a little bit of extra manipulation, you can very easily use GIT on its own to do your checkouts, branching, c...

Actually we did get a response - this is currently not possible. There's no customization possible of these notifications.

I did submit a feature request, but there's no telling how long it's going to take to implement. I guess we'll just have to hold on tight.

Why don't you just create a div with the background, and the table as its contents? Something like this (not tested): <div style="background:url('Resoures/images/photo.jpg'); background-repeat:none; background-position: top left; width : 200px; height: 200px;"> <table border="0" ...

So... no one uses Feedback Server with multiple webhelp outputs and cares where the notifications are coming from? Or no one has a clue what variables are available?

Hi Tana, You may want to look at the following topic: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=11182 I'm currently evaluating the necessity of generating multiple webhelp outputs from the same project by using tags that are named after a user role (Customer vs Manager vs Operator vs...

I'm looking to achieve something pretty specific and I know there's a way to do it, but I'm just not sure how or what's the best method. Thing is, we have one user manual (webhelp) that describes the features of a software and how to use them, as well as a second manual (again, webhelp) that describ...
