Topic popups converted to regular hyperlinks in TopNav

Post by jcollins »

After moving to Flare v12 and converting to TopNav HTML5 output, our popup topics are no longer working. In the Build Warnings list, there are several instances of Warning ID 70004: Topic popups will be converted into regular hyperlinks.

In Flare v11.x and lower, with left nav HTML5 output, the popups were rendered correctly during the build.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Apparently, topic popups are not supported in TopNav outputs. MadCap Support opened a feature request for topic popups to be included in some future release. I also requested that they add this info to the 70004 build message so users will understand what's happening.

Thanks for this. We'd banged our heads for awhile trying to figure this out, and a quick Google search found this topic and saved even more precious time.

Has anyone heard if this is going to be addressed soon? I really need popups for my current topnav project since the Glossary feature doesn't quite meet my needs.

Can I bump this back up and ask, obviously with Side Nav skin the same thing happens in Flare 2018. This isn't ideal as I now have a huge amount of warnings (4583), where I had configured popups of glossary terms instead of opening to a new page. I want pop-ups, in the context of what I am doing it works.

Is there a way around it I've missed?

I have my glossary links marked as

Code: Select all

topic="_popup"
, and in the Tripane skin it works perfectly.
It doesn't seem to work in SideNav or TopNav skins.
