> Key: OFBIZ-1750
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1750
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ALL COMPONENTS
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Bruno Busco
> Attachments: help_links.jpg, help_links.patch
>
>
> I have implemented an on-line help linking system the you can find in the
> attached patch (help_links.patch) and preview in help_links.jpg.
> This is a short description of how it works.
> I have added a "link-url" property to the container tag. Now it is possible
> to write something like:
> <property-map resource="ProjectMgrUiHelpUrls" map-name="uiHelpUrlsMap"
> global="true"/>
> ...
> <container style="screenlet"
> help-url="${uiHelpUrlsMap.ProjectManagerApplicationRoles}">
> When such a property is specified the container is rendered with a textual
> "?" that contains an href to an help page url.
> I have included in the patch also a modified maincss.css file that shows a
> more beatifull yellow icon like you can see in the preview.
> I have done some thinking about how to build the help urls with the following
> requirements:
> 1) Should be possible to change the whole help site used with a single
> modification in one file
> 2) Different help urls should be used depending on th locale
> To implement this I added the HelpUrls.xml resource file that in in the
> framework and defines the following keys:
> - helpurls.prefix = the first part of every help url
> - helpurls.suffix = the last part of every help url
> - helpurls.hint = a string that is displayed when the mouse is moved on the
> help icon
> All these keys are translated in urls and strings that are (or can be)
> specific to the selected locale. I this way it is possible for example to
> have the different languages help pages located on different sites (changing
> the helpurl.prefix) or it is possible to have an help system that provides
> different language help based on parameter attached to the url (something
> like ?language=it or similar)
> The final url attached to the icon is made of the prefix, the container
> specific help-url and the suffix
> Even the container specific help-url could conveniently be taken from a
> resource file so that a change in the help system pages should require only
> the resource file modification and not all the screens.
> I have included in the patch a single modified screen that uses the help
> links. This is one of the Project Manager Application that is available at
> this link:
> https://localhost:8443/projectmgr/control/MyTasks
> Could you please review the system?
