David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-2133: --------------------------------------- Wow I hate conversations in Jira... no threading, etc, etc... oh well off we go... It's a good conversation anyway. For reference Bruno wrote: "Regarding using a configuration parameter as prefix, this was my first idea. But then, when I exported a Confluence space and installed locally into hot-deploy I found that while locally I had to link the files with the .html extension, the url to have a page from a live Confluence are without .html and with a "+" instead of spaces. So it seems not to be possible with asimple prefix but we should have a completely different mapping file." These sound like items to take care of on a check list more than issues.... The "+" instead of spaces is a common way of encoding URLs. You'll find with confluence that a plain space or a %20 works just as well. With the webapp name and view name combination that won't be an issue though. For the ".html" we can easily have a configured suffix as well as a configured prefix. > Linking End User Documentation to OFBiz > --------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-2133 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2133 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Bruno Busco > Assignee: Bruno Busco > Fix For: Release Branch 9.3 > > Attachments: help.patch, help.zip > > > I have seen that several updates are in progress in this > http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/End+User+Documentation > area of Confluence. > Specially the Accounting application seems going to be described with a > one-to-one help page to OFBiz screens. > This is great and I think that having those pages linked to the relative > OFBiz screens will be usefull and will also encourage more people to create > (and _fill_) more documentation pages. > What is attached to this issue is a simple patch that creates this link using > the "titleProperty" field. > It makes no use of the help request that is defined in the framework but uses > an even simpler mechanism. > I would like to discuss this pattern, it is a first trial and I am not sure > it will be OK for every case. > What I was also considering is to have the AccountingHelpUiLabels.xml file > not committed but attached to the Confluence documentation main page. > In this way who updates the documentation can update this "index" file also. > Who is interested in using the onlline documentation will download this file > and install infor OFBiz. > Who is interested to have a local copy of the help can consider using the > export space function present in Confluence. > This creates a complete static HTML copy of the documentation.
