Side menu sometimes disappears
Side menu sometimes disappears
I am using Madcap Flare 2019, and my website output is based on a side navigation Flare template. When I first open my website output, the side menu and topic body appear side by side, as they should. Sometimes, when I click a different topic in the side menu, the new topic page displays WITHOUT the side menu. I have to resize the browser page to make it show the side menu again. Users obviously won't know to do this. What setting can I use to ensure that the side menu always appears?

Re: Side menu sometimes disappears
Is your responsive layout set up correctly? I know you can specify the width for when it changes from desktop to tablet to mobile so I suspect you might need to adjust those settings. I'm not in Flare at the moment so I can't give you specific directions, but that'd be a good place to start. Good luck, and you may get others coming along with a more specific response soon.

Re: Side menu sometimes disappears
I'm not sure I even have a responsive layout designated. I don't know why that would matter because I am simply looking at it on the laptop, and one page will show the side menu, while the next one doesn't. There's no way my users are going to know that clicking the "hamburger" icon will display the menu. And some of the pages that don't show the left menu don't even show a hamburger icon, and no matter how wide I make the page, the side menu refuses to show.
If I reduce the size of the browser page sufficiently, the side menu appears. But there's no rhyme or reason to it.

I had the same question....
It's called a breakpoint. Lower the Table Breakpoint number in the Target under the Skin tab.
