Breadcrumbs only show for topics that are in your main TOC, so I'd first check that the topic(s) are in the TOC that's set as the Primary TOC for that target.

Yes, I have a sticky panel on the right side of my topics. There's a sticky panel on the right in the main Web view, and the panel content is un-stuck and displayed at the top in the responsive tablet/phone views. I use a Side Nav skin. Anyway, this is the template page: <?xml version="1.0"...

Icons/images used by skins are actually embedded in the skin file (*.flskn), so you won't find a file in the source project that you can edit. You can add new images to the skin in the Skin editor, you just browse for the local image file and select it, then Flare will embed it in the skin file and ...

First, I'd ask why are you bothering to remove the files anyway? It's not like they're particularly large, and uploading them does no harm. I would say *.mclog is the only file that you can safely remove that definitely has no impact on your actual output. The log file is only used if you use the pu...

Ok, but it really isn't clear what you mean by a "mini conditions popup", so we're having to guess what you're talking about.

If you need more help, you'll need to give more detail about what you're trying to do, and what doesn't work.

In short, it's definitely possible, but Flare has nothing built-in that will handle dynamically showing/hiding content in the output. The basic idea is that you mark/tag the content with something like a condition tag, or a class or ID - something that you can actually see in the HTML code in your o...

Do you mean the floating tags that appear above the current item? To switch those on, use Show Tags (eye icon) > Show Caret Tag Neighbourhood . (Help: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2023/Content/Flare/Interface/Editors/XML-Editor/Caret-Tag-Neighborhood.htm) So you could use that to select the ...

To start with, I'd suggest doing some of the steps for cleaning a project: 1) Close the project. 2) Delete the Analyzer folder, to clear the Analyzer database. This will be regenerated by Flare the next time you open the project. 3) Delete the Output folder, as this clears temporary build files. 4) ...

From this I conclude that the work of defining the layout and colour, as rendered in the PDF table of contents, is done in the documentname.fltoc file. The *.fltoc files aren't used to set visual appearance or styling - they only contain the information that you can set in the TOC editor itself, su...

You can usually toggle the function keys on keyboards - usually the key has a padlock symbol.
On my laptop, it's on fn + Esc.
My desktop keyboard has a specific key just for this.

Any ideas? Really don't want to go the route of multiple master pages. You could set the background image by setting the CSS class on the html tag instead. For example, set class "imageA" in topic Properties > Topic Style class (or whichever way you prefer), and in your CSS have: html.ima...

You don't need to find it. That <nav class="sidenav-wrapper"> tag only exists in the built output files, so you won't see it anywhere in your project. In the output, that <nav> tag contains the side nav menu. So the solution is to add some CSS (for your landing page topic only) that will h...

Although you say "no skin", if you still want to display the header logo and search bar, then they're part of the skin. So if you want the skin header but not the Side Navigation menu, then you could hide that on the landing page. To do that, see this post: Hide Side Menus from a Topic (la...

On the Capture Edit ribbon, you can use Replace to replace the image with a file you've already saved, or use Recapture to take a new screenshot.

I'd suggest deleting the Analyzer database - that's what Flare uses for its analysis/reports, and it sometimes gets corrupted. To do that, close Flare, find your project files in Windows Explorer, and delete the Analyzer folder. When you next open that project, Flare will rebuild the Analyzer databa...

To be honest, I'd expect your security folks to advise you on how to fix this. How you do that depends on your server. Our server uses IIS, so I was able to add CSP stuff by uploading a single web.config file. I could've probably used meta tags to do the same thing, but fixing it at the server level...

Not sure if "Use device width media queries" will help. Also, device-width in CSS is on the ' deprecated ' list so is probably best avoided. A 13.3 inch screen is small - it's the size of a large tablet or small laptop. So what you're seeing is kind of what I'd expect, and I'd guess this u...

No idea Jim, my experience was with a Windows app.

I think it's a problem that we have two competing Flare communities (which Slack has already won), but neither really ticks all the boxes for what you want in a community self-support site. I think Slack would have been a great choice, if only you could search and refer to previous answers to questi...

Yeah, flex is a really good and easy way to display content - Flare uses it in its skins. This is a handy visual guide to flex: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ Usually you'd use set flex CSS properties in on both the container ( display:flex ), and also on the stuff inside th...

They're hidden after 90 days because it's not a paid subscription It says $7.25 per person per month - and there's 2000 members! But yeah, the lack of any history on Slack is massively irritating. It's got a pretty interface, but is a step backwards as you can't build a body of knowledge that people...

The links are probably not clickable because the link for the logo is being displayed in front of them.

You can move the links in front by setting the z-index in your CSS (assuming links are in #header-links, as in the example):

You are getting an empty xref because there is no text in the paragraph that contains the bookmark.
If you want to use a xref, then you need to have some text in that paragraph.

If you don't want text in that paragraph, then use a normal hyperlink instead of a xref.

A condition tag set on a topic means you can set the target conditions to exclude that topic from the output altogether. If the topic is excluded, then it wouldn't be included in any output TOC either (so you don't need to use a condition to exclude the TOC item too). A condition tag set on TOC item...

I created the class "GenTOCTable3" as a child of h3. The article says to add the GenTOCTable3 class to the table tag, not your h3 tag (or any heading tag). So that's why your h3 is disappearing. So you'd have this in your stylesheet: table.GenTOCTable3 { display: none; } Note that the ste...
