Formatting nav header of TopNav Search Results page?

Post by Phlawm53 »

------
Flare 11, mostly working TopNav Target.

How do I apply the same top navigation header formatting that's working properly on the TopNav Target's Home and other pages to the Target's Search Results page?
  • In both the home and other pages of the TopNav target, the navigation header consists of sans-serif font contained within bordered boxes. Good.
  • In the Search Results page, the navigation header consists of a small serif font with no bordered boxes. Not good.
Note that I've used the Skin Editor to format the contents of the Search Results page. No issues with the Search page's contents or styles. But the Search Result page's nav heading isn't receiving the formatting that's otherwise working on the topic-containing pages of the TopNav Target.

I of course can't apply a style sheet to the Search Results page since it doesn't exist as a topic file in my project. Is the solution to this to create a topic file and add Search proxies? Or?

Cheers & thanks,
Riley

Yes, just create a topic and insert the Search Results proxy.

(Just make sure you only have one topic in your project with this proxy.)

A note though - if you use master pages, you will need to put this search results topic in the same folder as your master page. This is to get round a bug, because Flare will process all the links from the search results topic as if it were located in the master page folder (even if it's not); meaning you'd get broken links to images, topics, etc.
