Webhelp & Custom Buttons

Post by p0630034 »

Hi,

Two issues, both regarding WebHelp and buttons. This is in Flare 2018 R2

1. Toggle Navigation Pane Label. I can set a label on Toggle Navigation Pane but it doesn't give me an option to set the Text Image Relation. This gives the below output, which is fairly frustrating.

2. Creating a custom button

Since this doesn't work, I decided to create a custom button to call the custom showHideNavigation function. I created the button in WebHelp Toolbar and added the showHideNavigation function.

I then set the OnClick to point to the function. I also set up images for Icon, Pressed Icon and Hover Icon. However the custom button displays as null in the output.

Any one have any ideas to get around this? I mainly just want the Toggle Navigation Pane to be able to display the label below the image, like the other buttons in the screenshot. Failing that, I'll need to make the custom button work.

Sorry, can't see your images so you may need to edit your original post and upload your images.

I have reuploaded the photos on another image host.

Anyone have any ideas?

Nope, still can't see 'em, I think this site doesn't support external image hosting. You'll need to upload them to the MadCap site. At the bottom of the Post a Reply box there's an Upload attachment tab. Click there and upload your images that way.

I can see the images fine - so I'd guess it's your company that's restricting access to the host (imgur).

There's no need to upload images to a 3rd party host - you can upload them direct to these forums, as CM suggests.
(Although I'm not sure if you need to make a certain number of posts to do that?)

Ok, I have replaced them all with inline attachments. Hopefully CM can see them now.
