Does Flare integrate with Drupal?

Post by diana_writes »

Hello,

Our community site, which houses our technical documentation, is on the Drupal platform.
Unfortunately, we need to author content in Word or Google Docs, bring it into Drupal, and then publish.
We need the Drupal capabilities for specific functions within the Community.
However, the simple editor does not cut it for our technical documentation.
We do not want the separate help system MadCap Flare produces.
We want to author in Flare, push to HTML, import into Drupal and have Drupal as our delivery platform.
I would like to build the TOC structure in Flare. We need the ability to author certain content in Flare and other content in Drupal, such as blog, discussions, FAQs by support, or other articles not tied to technical documentation.
Has anyone done this?
Is there a doable, not too expensive integration?
I don't want to pay for an extremely expensive solution to be built to get from Flare into Drupal.

Thanks!
Diana

I haven't found a way myself, but I too would be very interested in learning more about publishing to Drupal or Joomla.

The only thing I've figured out so far is to publish as HTML 5 and then manually import each page. Not bad if it's a small set of pages but could quickly become hoorendous.

This may or may not work in this situation.

Create a new target and choose XHTML Book which is basically a Print based output.
Each Chapter of the TOC becomes an individual HTM page.
Build it and open the output folder.
