Can We link a Page to External Website

Post by rohidas »

Hello Friends,

Suppose I have created a project with contents for generating output in web help. Can I have a page such as Try it Out, in which user clicks and it shows external web page and left pane consisting of Table of content and other tabs remain as it is?

I mean to say can we embed an external page?

Thanks and Regards,
Ravi Chandran

Hello,

yes, it is possible, at least with Tripane Skin in Flare 2019. Here is how to manage it:
1. in Flare open Insert, Hyperlink
2. for Link to choose Website:
3. below, for Target Frame choose Same Frame.

This works (partially) as you want it, I tested it with Tripane Skin.
Kind regards,

Another solution to this might be to bring an external site into a Flare topic using an iframe.
