Moving to next topic without using the TOC

[Perrorist]

To avoid returning to the TOC to go to the next topic, is it possible to link them in some way so that Previous/Next buttons could be used? The only solution I can come up with is to hard code the relative addresses into the topic page, which would be tedious and time-consuming because of the large number of topics.

(This question is related to my previous one.)

What version of Flare are you using?

As of (I'm pretty sure) Flare 12, you can add Previous topic and Next topic buttons to the topic toolbar that give the user the ability to progress up and down the TOC, without having to do so from the TOC directly.

I'm using the latest (2017 r2). I'll check out the Previous and Next topic buttons. I must admit, I haven't taken any notice of the topic toolbar before. Presumably that's the line with the breadcrumbs and printer icon on it.

Thanks again, Nita.

It's just the bit with the buttons, not the breadcrumbs.

In the Skins folder, look for a skin that refers to the topic toolbar. That's the one you want to work with.

Also read up here in the Flare help: http://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare201 ... olbars.htm.

You didn't say which kind of Help you're creating, so look for the topic that matches your kind.

It's Top Nav. Thanks for the link and for your clarification.

BTW, I noticed that the topic toolbar disappears in mobile medium. Is that intentional?

I would expect so. In the skin, for the Mobile medium, check the Layout attribute for the whole toolbar. I would expect that Display is set to "none", meaning, don't show in Mobile.

Thanks, Nita. It was set to [none]. I've changed it and it looks fine.
