Using Glossary with Top Nav

Post by cirrus »

Hi All

New to Flare, having just got it at work this week.

I have created a Glossary but cannot see how to activate it with the Top Nav skin. I have found the setting for the Tripane skin, but is there an equivalent way to use a Glossary with the Top Nav?

Many thanks

Jamie.

Hello Jamie-

I wondered the same thing... but according to this other post in the Forums, using a glossary with the Top Nav/Frameless skin is not possible.

Smells like a feature request to me. I would love to convert all of my targets to the frameless design, but I believe not being able to include the glossary is problematic for some of my content.

There's an easy way to do this with Top Nav: Add a page named Glossary. Put it into your menu.
The content will include two items: The title, "Glossary", and a glossary proxy.

Glossary links within your text work as they always did.

Thanks BedfordWriter! So simple when you put it like that! Just the job.

Yeah, you can include a glossary proxy for TopNav, but it automatically creates hyperlinks on the words that don't go anywhere and don't do anything. Probably better off just typing them into a topic so you can format as you like.
