"On this page" Menu

Post by ShannonAmelia »

Hi, can anybody guide me on how to go about adding an "On this page:" right-side menu to long topics in my Flare project? I see something like this in WordPress: "WordPress plugin which adds a user-friendly and fully automatic way to create and display a table of contents from the page content." So something along those lines but through Flare.

I appreciate the help!

Thanks, Shannon

To get the menu, open your template/master page, then insert the Topic Menu (menu proxy) as described in the help, and set it to use (Headings).

You can also choose how many heading levels (depth) to display, and use a skin to style the menu and choose if it's fixed/sticky when you scroll the page.

To put the menu on the right, it's a good idea to consider using a responsive layout on your template/master page so it works on both large and small screens. On a small phone screen, I put the menu above the topic body instead of the right. I use CSS flexbox to handle the layout, but Flare has a built in "Responsive Layouts" designer.
