Re: Conditional build expressions?

2014-03-10 Thread Scott Prentice

Thanks Rebecca. I appreciate the pointers!

It turns out that this feature may not actually be exposed in the API, 
so this may not actually go anywhere. I'm hoping that I'm wrong about 
that, but it's not looking good.


Cheers,

Hi Scott
I don't know anything about FM8 or FM9 - we skipped them - but I've 
got FM10/11/12 all installed on my laptop, for testing purposes.
In FM10/11 you can't enter (). You get an error about invalid syntax 
if you do. So that grouping feature is new in FM12.
We've used build expressions a lot in FM10 and it would've been easier 
with grouping!
Something else that may not be obvious: you can combine AND with NOT 
to give you ANDNOT functionality. That's very useful.
Another thing is that FM 10/11 do group things, you just have no 
control over the grouping. We've got expressions like:
   productA andnot internalOnly andnot future or product-family-A 
andnot internalOnly andnot future

FM groups this as:
   (productA andnot internalOnly andnot future) or (product-family-A 
andnot internalOnly andnot future)

not as:
 productA andnot internalOnly andnot (future or product-family-A) 
andnot internalOnly andnot future
Feel free to ask any other questions, or let me know if you want me to 
test anything.

Cheers
Rebecca

Hi...

This is a stretch .. but if anyone knows it'll be someone on this 
list. I'm looking for information on the differences between the basic 
functionality of the conditional build expressions in FM from FM8 to FM12.


From the UI functionality perspective, it looks like FM8 and FM9 are 
the same, then in FM10 a "label" was added so you could give your 
build expression a name. FM10 and FM11 look the same, and in FM12 they 
added a "()" button to allow for grouping.


The docs are woefully lacking on details.

Was the basic functionality and syntax the same from FM8 to FM11? Is 
the "()" (grouping) feature actually new in FM12 or was that allowed 
previously, but you just had to know to type it? I must admit that 
I've never really used this feature, but would like to leverage it in 
a plugin, so need to know which aspects are new and which have been 
there since FM8.


Any tidbits of info are appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

Totally agree with Robert -- a daily post isn't more than 10-15 minutes
work cutting and pasting, no matter whether you're starting from Frame
itself or Frame saved as HTML. (Assuming you have picked the correct theme
and configured everything correctly.)

Ted had mentioned thousands of posts, so I think all of us went down the
mass import path.

If you're doing one post a day rather than wholesale import of
hundreds / thousands, you could just convert to HTML and copy and
paste the code. WordPress uses HTML with some proprietary additions
for things like "continued after the bump."

Thanks, Robert,

I want to publish a daily blog in WordPress by repurposing subject matter
already completed in Frame. I wish to avoid needless reformatting in
WordPress especially:

   1. Fonts
   2. numbered and bulleted lists
   3. tables
   4. figures
   5. Chapter Titles and numbers of
   6. Headings 1 - 3.

Remember, "Author Once, Publish Man!" An old familiar tune performed at
seminars, I attended, given by Adobe product managers 15 years ago, give or
take.

Whatever the situation ends up being in my search for a seamless, not
seem-less, solution, I will take what I get, and perhaps someday, I can
just push the button, and TCS5 will do what it ought to do, and I will
laugh the laugh of the "lucky me's.

Suggestion. Set up a backup system. There are plenty of backup utilities out there, some free. Then set up a schedule, automated would be best, to back up your files.   On Monday, March 10, 2014 9:50 AM, Jeff Coatsworth  wrote:
