Exclude current topic from a concept link?

Post by HelenF »

Hi, we are using concept links to create our 'See also' lists in WebHelp. I would like to know if there's a way of excluding the CURRENT topic from the concept link. For example, lets say I have five topics (thanks to the Flare Help for this example):
Choosing a Dog
Feeding a Dog
Training a Dog
Grooming a Dog
Walking a Dog

and I give each of them the concept 'dog'. I then insert a concept link on each topic, using the concept 'dog'.

In the built Help, I open the topic 'Choosing a Dog' and in the See also list I see:
Choosing a Dog
Feeding a Dog
Training a Dog
Grooming a Dog
Walking a Dog

But I don't want to see 'Choosing a Dog' because that's the topic I'm already looking at. Is there a way of excluding the current topic from the concept link?

Thanks

I don't think there is a way to do that; although it is excluded in DotNetHelp 'See also' lists, the current topic will appear in WebHelp.

If it's an issue, you can submit bug reports here: https://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx

OK, I've raised it as an enhancement request.

I have the same issue with my HTML output using Flare V7.2. I also would like to be able to exclude the current topic from the See Also list. Does anyone know the status of this enhancement request?
