Re: Spaces in filenames
Perhaps asking the reverse of your question is in order. When and/or why would it be advantageous to use spaces - as opposed to underscores or no other character at all - in a file name? I think the OP answers that by referring to the practice of using the file name as the topic header. I've gotten...

Re: Best practices for using expanding, toggle or dropdown?
I've only used Drop-Down and Expanding Text , which are both described in the Navigation and Link section of Flare's Help . Drop-Down is for larger portions of the topic. In fact, I have whole topics that are drop-downs (Product Manager's idea, not mine). Expanding is for a single paragraph. Both ar...

Re: Rename .htm to .html
One thing I noticed this morning is that using the script repeatedly doesn't work as well as I first thought. Instead of *.htmhtml , I had *.htmll . So, you have two options for adding new topics: 1. Have two versions of the script with the second version set to look for the double L. When you run t...

Re: Include files in output without link
Try adding a link in the <head> tag of your MasterPage (where IncludeMe is the name of the file you want included in the output):
Code: Select all
<link rel="external" type="text/htm" href="Content/IncludeMe.htm" />

Right-click on the white space and select Inspect Element. This displays the HTML and CSS, which should tell you what is causing it.

Re: How to override/change Styles.css
There is another, less favorable option of making the changes in a copy of the CSS and overwriting the output file. I've done this with a few of my first projects (before finding Dave's solution) and use a batch file. The disadvantage is you have to trigger the batch file every time you build a new ...

Re: HTML5 Top Nav Side Menu background
In Top Nav, each widget has (potentially) it's own skin file. I'm not familiar with the template itself, but looking at Flare's Online Help , my guess is that you have a file in the Skins folder (use Project Organizer to access) named SideMenu . The easiest way to check is to open your output, right...

Re: Responsiveness based on something more than size?
I remember (back in the day) having to use a javascript to check the browser's resolution and implement the corresponding CSS. I've never tried this, but there seem to be a number of ways to check for touch screen using js. I wonder if you could use that to set which CSS is used?

How many PageLayouts do you have? I'm guessing you have one with, and one without the Breadcrumbs Proxy.

Re: Search Bar Modification in Tripane
Sorry, our internet went down while I was attempting to edit my post. I was going to suggest Dave Lee's technique for using a javascript to add a custom stylesheet.
As for responsive design, just use percent instead of pixels.

You might be able to add a style to your CSS using this process: open the output in a browser, right-click the search input field, and select Inspect Element from the context menu. You should see the style for it in one of the smaller panes and even change the width (which is only temporary). Note t...

Re: New Flare user to attempt help for app ... needs help
I think you're referring to pagination, and I'm not sure Flare has a way to display it. At least, there's nothing in Help or the WebHelp Mobile sub-forum that I can find. If it were my project, I'd talk with the developers to see about having them build the skin and you supply the XML files for them...
