Relationship Proxies aren't displaying anything

Post by lise »

Newbie here, running Flare v11.

I've been giving relationship tables a whirl and I've been at it for 6 hours now trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've read the help file, I've read this board, I've started over and even rebuilt a topic from scratch just in case. All of that and the result is always the same: out of all the topics in my table, only one of them displays the links in the topic after a build.

I'm fairly certain I followed the help file instructions to a T but I obviously missed something.
step 1 - add a new file to the Advanced folder in the Project Organizer
step 2 - create the actual content for it, adding relationships between the topic links in a row.
step 3 - insert a Relationships proxy in the topics where you want links to appear in the output,
step 4 - Associate with target.
.
When I added topics to the cells I used the default setting, which the help file says is "a two-way link. In other words, a link will be displayed in each topic involved, and that link will open the other topic." I also grouped them so that they would link to each other within a cell.

To troubleshoot, I did the following (and rebuilt after each change):
  1. I un-grouped the items in a cell (row 1, tasks). Made no difference.
  2. I noticed that all those tasks in row 1 included snippets in the topic so I added another task that didn't. Made no difference.
  3. I noticed that on the page that did include the links the proxy was within a p tag, so I went to a different topic and moved the proxy into a p tag and it worked!
sort of... Seems like the proxy doesn't like going into a p tag. Sometimes I can get it to work, other times Flare crashes when I try to do it, and other times it still doesn't create the links, which leads me to believe that this is not the problem after all.

Time to hold up that white flag.

And now, for some reason, it is working for the most part.
Not consistently, but I was able to get the relationship table links to work on some of those topics where it didn't work before. Not all of them, but some.

I think I'll take a look on Monday with fresh eyes.

My relationship proxies are inside <divs>, that might work for you. (I have to add that I didn't create the projects, they were crafted by a former colleague, so it's his wizardry so I can't explain why it works, but it does.)
