Where's the download link for new Flare 11 project template?

Post by shannong »

There is currently only a "preview" link for the new Flare 11 project template. Without a download link, it is difficult to figure out how the new "Menu" and "Topic Toolbar" skins/proxies were implemented in your new Flare 11 Help, and the current Help doc itself does not adequately describe how these should be integrated. Were they placed on the project master page? Are they embedded separately in each topic? Etc.

There are two Top Navigation templates built into Flare 11. So if you have Flare 11 installed, create a new project and, when prompted to select a project template to start with, select either the Top Navigation Advanced template or the Top Navigation Basic template. In those templates, all the various components will already be in place where needed in the skin and master page. I don't think that anything needs to be embedded into each topic (though I haven't studied up on these templates much yet).

In the Flare HTML5 Guide, the Top Navigation features are covered in Chapter 3: http://docs.madcapsoftware.com/FlareV11 ... 5Guide.pdf. That chapter also includes discussion for converting an existing project produced prior to Flare 11 to use the new Top Navigation features.
