Support
What is the Synergetic level of support? Are there plans for future development? How will this work with SynWeb/SynMobile?
This is going to be an evolving position from a Synergetic standpoint.
Originally, there was to be no support for this once implemented, however this is likely to change depending on feedback and uptake.
The intention was to be able to provide sites with a starting point skin that makes it as responsive as possible without code changes to the Portal itself, allowing sites to utilise this as it is or further customise themselves.
It is highly recommended to check the Limitations and Recommendation sections prior to implementing and raising issues.
Due to the nature of the Microsoft base code, Internet Explorer and Edge browsers are not supported and will display the Portal as it was originally designed.

FAQ

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| How is this supported? | |||||||||||||||||||||
Why is there an initial display of the original Portal then the new Flex skin applied? | This is due to the Flex CSS being a skin on top of the original Community Portal. It was implemented this way to provide clients with a responsive Portal in rapid time, without requiring a high degree of change to the original code. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Why is this placed in the ..\Site\Flex folder and not in ..\Site\CSS folder to avoid the initial load of the non-flexible? | Due to some browsers code base not supporting this (for example Internet Explorer/Edge) detection of the browser is required. If it was placed in the Site\CSS folder it would apply to all browsers. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Can I make further changes to this? | Yes, see Flex - Documentation | ||||||||||||||||||||
I have the Pacific - A Community Portal CSS Theme applied? | It is highly recommended to remove this theme as there will be clashes between the two.
| ||||||||||||||||||||
What testing was completed on this? | Each page was tested against Functionality and Usability

Is there an easy way to see how it would look on most devices? | Many browsers can emulate the look and feel of multiple devices. Below is one way to do this using the Chrome browser Please note: This is emulation and not exactly true to how the actual device will operate
