Packages
Packages allow you to extend the capabilities of your web pages, some packages are provided by The Escapers, but most are from 3rd parties.
Installing a Package
Step 1
Select the folder in the
Site Manager that you want to install the Package into. Usually, the root of your site is the best place, as some 3rd Party packages expect it to be here.
Step 2
Open the
Packages panel by clicking the 'Packages' toolbar icon in the
Site Manager
Step 3
Now you can select the package you want to install from the list available. Once you have selected the package you want, choose it from the list and press the
Install button. The package will be downloaded from the internet and put into your project.
Note: The package will be available in this project only, if you want to use a package in more than one project, you will need to repeat this process for each one.
Step 4
As an example, we will install the "Flotr" package, which is a JavaScript library for creating charts. Once the package is installed (See Step 3), you will find that the "flotr" package is now present in your website.
Step 5
If you now navigate to the examples in the 'flotr' folder, you can double click one of the html files to view it in Flux. If you then choose to
Preview the page, you will see a working Flotr chart.
Note: The chart will not appear while editing the page in Flux as Flux intentionally disables Javascript while editing.
