Can you point custom hamburger menu items toward pages in the course, or only to outside URLs?

I am using the Course Player theme. I need all course pages to show on the initial menu, rather than having to select Outline > Course Page, but the theme doesn't allow any changes to that menu item. It does offer several custom menu items I can add, however, it doesn't seem to allow me to choose course pages as the destinations, just URLs. 

Is there a way to edit the Outline menu option, or use the custom menu options to point to the pages inside the course to bypass the Outline menu item?

Thanks for your help.

You are correct.  You can only add published URLs there.  

However, if your project is published as a web project and hosted on a web server, you can utilize our contentAPI to provide a link that will access that (or any other web published project and open up a specific page).

To use this API function the address would be the URL ending in .html - then add "?subeoid=XXXX" where XXXX is the page ID.  Page IDs can be found by viewing the page properties.

Where have you been all my DominKnow life??? Thank you. I can't believe I missed that teeny tiny little box! I've looked at that screen dozens of times and I thought those were the footer options that couldn't be used in Flow. Thanks so much!

Thanks! That's very helpful. The reason I ask is because I am using the Course Player theme, and the only option for seeing the course pages in the hamburger menu is to activate the Outline option, which is an extra step before viewing all the course pages and being able to navigate to them, and the feedback I've gotten is that the course owner wants that changed. I thought that I could sidestep it by using the custom menu items, which also look more like what my client wants. Is there any other way to make a change to this option? Right now we have a hamburger menu with just the course outline as the sole item in it, and that, along with the extra step is causing a lot of pushback, and it hasn't even been rolled out to any users yet. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your help.

There is a Pin Outline open option for Course Player in the theme Designer that could provide this.

Thanks. I'll see if they would prefer that for the desktop view. I notice that the navigation < > and hamburger menu aren't available in mobile view.  Is there a way to add that? Thanks for your help.

In the theme designer you can set which options are on for smartphone size and for all other. It sounds like you simply have those options off for the mobile size - edit the nav bar and you will see 2 sets of controls for it for the respective sizes.

I am trying to figure out if you can create a custom accordion/slider effect where you have 3 or 4 narrow rectangles that cover from top to bottom of screen on one side of page and with separate clicks move one at a time to the other side of the page, revealing different information between them as once they have completed their moves.

How do you trigger a show action for an icon that is on one page, but the trigger action is the completion of another page? 

I selected the page > clicked Trigger > When this page is completed > Show Action > then the only items I can select are on the same page that I am using as a trigger. I can't figure out where to select an image on another page to show on completion. The search only returns items on the same page, too.

Hi,  I'm using the scenario builder and have a few questions.  1. Is it possible to add images into each speach bubble? I can see the option for audio, but not for an image.  2. Is it possible to format the text, i.e. if I want to bold or italicising something?  3. Is it possible to add in links to pop ups or hyper links into the speach bubbles?  4. Is there any way I can use the images in the scenario as their own stand alone images? I can't seem to find a full body avatar in the stock media...

Hello all, I've been building courses all summer with the same player and theme variant.  Today I have one course that wants the player navigation menu to be on the right, while all the other courses are on the left.  I've been a Dominknow user for around 6 months so maybe I missed an option to pick what side this goes on or how to fix it.  Any ideas or insights would be appreciated! Thanks!

Is there an option to restrict the project on smaller device OR restrict to landscape mode only in FLOW?

We have developed a course in comic strip style (on Flow) where the speech bubble (callout) and the text inside it, are layered on the base image. When viewed on the smaller devices, this text is getting overlapped or overflowed. We were suggested to add a new label altogether for all the overflowing text elements for the smaller devices (which is a lot of work considering there are more than 100 screens). So, we are looking for other workarounds, or is there a way to disable or restrict the ...
