Bruno, I'll definitely look at your patch, thanks.
An idea we could also consider is to use the screen name (or form
name) to compose the name of the help page: in this way we could have
a link tht points to an help page even if we don't specify the url in
the screen's container (if the page is not available we could return a
default page). There are pros and cons with this approach but it is
definitely something we could consider.

Ooops,
I have resolved. I was modifying the renderScreenletBegin function
instead
of the renderContainerBegin function.
Now I can continue on my road-map...

After the discussion we had in
http://www.nabble.com/Loading-Raw-HTML-td16595109.html
I am trying to modify ofbiz to optionally include a little help
icon in
the screenlet title bar.
What I want to obtais is the possibility to specify for every
container
an help page link.
I am not expert of Ofbiz and of Java too but I want use this as an
exercize to grow my experience up.
My roadmap is:
1 - add a little help icon image (help_yellow.gif) to ofbiz
2 - add a "helpHomeUrl" property in general.properies
3 - add a new "helplink" property to the container tag to let the
programmer to link an help page to every single UI element.
When the container is rendered the following HTML should be added
in the
container.
<a class="helpLink" target="_ofbizhelp" href="HELPURL">
<img width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" title="Get
online
help about Using Ofbiz" src="/images/help_yellow.gif"/>
</a>
Where HELPURL is a string obtained from the helpHomeUrl, the
helplink
property and perhaps the actual locale
4- add something in the main.css to make the little help icon
displayed
inline on the right of the container area
So, after the trivial step 1, skipped step 2 for the moment, I
started
navigating the code to do step 3.
I have seen that the screenlet container is someting that is built
in
two (at least) different ways in .ftl files and in screens.xml
files.
I have done it for a single .ftl file inserting the HTML code by
hand
but now I want to make it for the screens.xml files. I have tried
to modify
the HtmlScreenRenderer.java but I get no effect at all changing
this file
ant-building and the startofbizing.
Could someone help me?
