Only search/toc bar in webhelp skin

Post by ch0kee »

Hello there!

I'm creating an online webhelp for our application. (We've just bought the Flare license)
How can I do this things :
- opening Search bar, and after click on a result, the content opens in the SAME frame as the Search bar
- opening TOC, and just like above, result opens in the same frame.
Help works in 'MadCap Flare' in this way. How can we implement that ?

We should modify the js code ?

I hope you can understand my perfect:) english.
Thanks

There isn't a setting in Flare to let you do this. It's been mentioned in this forum a few times, but AFAIK it's not something that anyone has managed to do (by hacking the WebHelp code).

Also, you're saying that the MadCap Flare help works in this way?
The Flare help doesn't display help topics in the same frame as the TOC and Search frames.

The MadCap Flare help is DotNetHelp, not WebHelp. That may make the difference here.

Yep, but neither type of help displays the topics in the same pane as the TOC or Search.
