unrecognized tag

Post by dalogan »

I have a question about a deleted conditional tag.

I deleted a tag from the StandardConditionTag set. Created and HTML5 output. The first error that appears says "Error validating conditional expression: Unrecognized tag: StandardConditionTags.Future_Enhancements"
I have done a Find for the whole project to see if the tag is in a topic, No.
I closed Flare a few times and re-opened, No change.
It's not really doing any harm to the output; I just don't understand why a deleted tag would still throw up an error message when it is not in the conditional tag set. The screenshot is from the Conditional Text tab in the Target. If I scroll up to the Tags list in the Target, the Future_Enhancements tag is not there. What is going on here? If the tag is not there why give the error.

The reference to the tag might still be sitting in the Target. I'd open the target in the text editor and check that way. I think when you do a search it only looks in the Content.

Are you using the Basic or Advanced way of defining what conditional text is in/excluded?
Just above where you see the error message of your screenshot, you can choose Basic/Advanced:
Advanced-Basic-View.png
If you choose Advanced, you can edit the condition at the bottom (in the red box). Within there, a deleted condition tag could survive. You have to correct this manually.
I think this problem is clearly related to the target, but images could have tags as well, and those are not found by a find/replace, probably because they cannot be opened as text. I had this problem and found them by using Analyzer.

I had similar trouble after deleting a tag - hope my hints help you in fixing this.

regards, Lydia.

Ah, that did help.
I switched back and forth from the basic and advanced. It was set on Advanced, have no idea when I did that. I manually removed the tags from the list that I had deleted and were still in the list. Error is gone.
Thanks,
Doug
