Dynamic menus using relationship tables - help | samples?

Post by giant »

Hello,

I am a Flare newbie and I am trying to create CUSTOMIZABLE SIDE MENU in my project using:
  • Relationship table
    +
  • Relationship proxies
I have used relationship tables in DITA and the concept of reltables seems to be the same here. I have created relationship table and inserted relationship proxies in a couple of topics. But I am stuck.

Now I have found a couple of sources online that suggest this can be done. But I haven't seen a working sample anywhere. A working sample would really help. At least if I could look at the result I am supposed to produce using this process, I could use hit and trial.

Or, if someone could guide me to definitive, clear instructions for creating relationship tables, it will be great.

Thanks in Anticipation

Just noticed nobody has replied, and hasn't responded to your query, so first of all, welcome to the forums.

Secondly, you might find the online help useful: http://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare201 ... -Flare.htm

If you put "relationship tables" in the search you get 43 results, so you might find something that you can use.

I've also started to set up relationship tables for the purpose of creating menus... and find the available information lacking. I'm still stumbling through it and haven't been able to come up with anything consistent and helpful.

I'm back to focusing on this again, and thought I'd post to see if anyone has found a truly helpful resource for the relationship table feature. (The Madcap help is not helpful enough.)
