Hi Tom, excellent job, looks good.
you might want to consider to store the field descriptions in the
entitymodel so they are also shown on the menus themselves. try the
productstore editscreen and put your mouse over a fieldname.....then the
description is shown....
Regards,
Hans

Tom Burns commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------
Jacques,
I tested different browsers using OFBiz in an AWS instance.
If you (or anyone else) would like to see Webhelp for OFBiz live try:
https://ec2-23-20-150-243.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8443/humanres/control/main
Try invoking help from Human Resource, Accounting (supported) and any other app
(not supported).
Try different themes and locales (only en files now so just alerts user going
to alt en).
Tested Opera, Firefox, Chrome, and IE.
Long story short Firefox was best overall.
Only issue is focus stays with OFBiz when a user invokes help and a help
instance is open in the background.
Help is refreshed but user may not see it if help is minimized or hidden behind
another window.

This is a status update just to let anyone who is interested know that this
item is being worked on.
I started out using the OFBiz structure for help docs but after a while I
needed/wanted something more expressive.
Here is what I wound up using for development:
Java Help System http://java.net/projects/javahelp/content
DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html
http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0/
DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xsl-1.77.1.zip
Help Master - FE for managing java help files. Best feature drag and drop TOC
creates TOC matching file folder structure. Convenient launcher for viewing &
testing. http://www.halogenware.com/software/helpmaster.html
XML Mind XML Editor - Free Personal Edition is far better then editing in
Eclipse. download from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml
Tutorial - DocBook editing with XML Mind XML Editor. Worth going through
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html
Read Me First style guide from Sun (cost from Amazon 1 cent + shipping)
Attached are some screen shots of the results.
Every screen is/will be documented in a similar structure. This is as much for
defining requirements and testing as for help. More work but worth it.
The screenshots show a Java Help format generated using DocBook XSL. This will
likely not be the final presentation format.
Note the Performance Review screen shots do not match the trunk. There is a bug
in update screen and I did some clean up of labels and drop-down list. There
are issues like this all through the application so I did not want to get
bogged down with patches at this time.
