Tom Burns commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------
Hi All,
Because of the number of of non text files, and the requirement to overwrite
the contents of applications/content/template/docbook with the contents of
docbook-xsl-1.77.1, using a patch to implement this improvement is problematic.
Therefore the solution is offered in two zip files WebhelpFiles.zip and
WebhelpHRAppDocbook.zip.
The file "Readme Webhelp OFBiz Initial Installation.txt" in WebhelpFiles has
step by step instructions for installing Webhelp for OFBiz into the trunk or
other OFBiz deployments.
I have to leave it to the committers to to devise an efficient method to
implement the solutions should implementation be desirable.
Thanks.
Tom

> 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.
