Hi Uwe and Andras,
I think there is a small misunderstanding. Andreas has a patch to
modify helpcontent2 source file while Uwe is speaking about the
StarOffice Product Patch mechanism.
No, I did not. What I wanted to express is that it is not sufficient to
supply a patch file for a *.xhp file to see the changed content in the
help. Instead, the help must be compiled as part of the overall office
OK but why is it not sufficient to supply this patch in a bug so it can
be applied and committed to CVS. It is already a change to the xhp file
so there is really no other process needed or am I wrong.
And remember not everybody has CVS commit rights.
to change something in OOo including the online help, for "normal" users
it is the recommended way to submit an Issuezilla issue and attach the
files. (Power users may just go ahead and change the sources on one of
their CWSses.) I already gave that advice.
But this would only work if the submitter wants the changes to be
generally available. As I understand the first mail from Andras, he
might want to supply the change only for a more restricted or private
audience. But that may be only my misunderstanding.
So if the new feature should be available to all users of OOo and
StarOffice, it would be best to submit the feature using Issuezilla. If
the feature gets integrated to the software, we at the Documentation
team will supply the online help - and we would be happy to get the
necessary information from the developer in an issue, too. This way Sun
will take care (and pay) for the translations into all major languages, too.
build. Frank gave most of the info you need to know (unfortunately not
all the info) in his HelpAuthoring.pdf manual on
documentation.openoffice.org - see
http://documentation.openoffice.org/online_help/HelpAuthoring.pdf
this link unfortunately is broken. It is also used several times on
http://documentation.openoffice.org/online_help/index.html
I submitted http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63197
