Flare in Action!

[jrg]

If you use Rhapsody Music Player and use their help, it is constructed with Flare. You can tell by the tell-tale green forward/back buttons, - oh, and by the Madcap logo in the toolbar?!

I suppose it certainly won't hurt to share a peek at our customer service site. This was a legacy project outta RoboHelp, as some (most..?) of you will probably recognize right away. And, last but not least, SteveS: please believe me when I say that today is the first time I saw your skin entry! Mike M here wanted orange, so that's what I gave him (my supe). Rick F, please let him know...thx!

Cheers, =dg=

For several years I've been providing our writers with various tips on how to use FrameMaker in our environment. To test the Flare template that I'd created, I took those tips, which are in FrameMaker, and ran them through Flare. The result is at the following site:

Now I have to go back and troubleshoot the items that look fine in IE 6 but not so much in IE 7 and Opera 9. Haven't tried Mozilla yet.

Great Website, Sent you a T-shirt, Enjoy!

The Digital River help site has static header/footer with content...appears to be frames. How is this accomplished? Is this a use of a proxy since the breadcrumbs are in there?

I like the horizontal like and consistency and would like to use it in my help site.

Thank you.

jcoria,

I looked at the code on the digital river site and they are using CSS to accomplish a sort of mock-framset. In particular, they use the overflow/no-overflow properties to set styles for the body tag.

If you are interested, you should open one of their topics in its own window (outside the framset), and then use Firefox's Web Developer toolbar to Edit the CSS. That will let you see the attached style sheets, and see what properties they are using to get the effects you see.

[jcoria]

I appreciate your feedback and response. I like the look. I wish i was more apt at code to fancify some items.

thanks again.

I posted this in another thread, so sorry for the double post, but I thought the post ought to be here too...

If you're interested, today I published a new version of my online writing portfolio using Flare as the back end and a Flare WebHelp target. I'd previously used WordPress for my back end, but recently decided to switch that out for Flare.

My portfolio is located here:
http://www.paulpehrson.com

I blogged a little bit about the change here:
http://blog.paulpehrson.com/2008/01/18/ ... ing-flare/

Hope you don't mind me tooting my own horn a bit, but I thought you might be interested in seeing a non-conventional use for Flare.

So there you have it. Another example of Flare in action.

Here something that is more in line with the topic. I had to look something up while working on my time sheet and I consulted the help of our AutoTask system. The help looked very familiar. See for yourself here.
