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:

Could you please review the system?

Adrian,
please find in help_links2.patch the implementation of the help links according
to your suggestions.
I have added two help-ulr links in the ProjectMgr application just as an
example:
The first one is of this kind: help-url=help?topic=CommonHelpTopic1.
In this case the help string is retrieved in the CommonHelpLabels.xml file and
displayed.
The second one is of the kind:
help-url=help?topic=ProjectMgrHelpTopic3amp;isUrl.
In this case the help string is considered to be an URL and a redirect is
performed in order to display the page.
In this way we can have also the possibility to easily link to the help pages
that could grow on Confluence as suggested by David.
Please review (I am quite new to Ofbiz) and let me know.

help_links1.patch
Jacopo,
thank you for reviewing my patch.
I have attached a new patch (help_links1.patch) with the white spaces issue
fixed. This was due to my editor that is set to remove during file save all the
trailing spaces and my compare program was programmed to ignore difference in
white spaces. This is why I did not realize the wrong patch.
Now I have changed the setting in my tools and will not do the error again.
BTW reviewing the patch I discovered another stange behaviour...the little gif
file I added to my working directory has not been included in the patch (even
if I svn added it). I don't know how to fix this and so I attached this file in
the issue itself (help_yellow.gif).
