How do I mark a top nav menu item as new? Flare v12.0.5991

Post by JenKatSmith »

Hi,

I've scoured the forum for a workaround for this as it seems that you can't use Flare's 'Mark as New' function in top navigation output. I would like to highlight new major features that appear as top level menu items as new in certain releases but I need a pointer as to how I can create code to do this. Does anyone have any pointers/code examples?

Example:
Here's the top nav output and I want to mark the 'API Service Settings' item as New using an icon.

Thanks!

Sadly, no further along with this one but I am planning to upgrade Flare to the most recent version in the next few months and possibly looking into 3rd party integrations for a more interactive user experience, ie: notifications.

This is not a supported feature in Top or Side Nav HTML5 outputs, unfortunately.

Even though the mark as new is not supported in Top Nav, you could just make your own style to apply to the menu item.
