Jacques,

please, we had it on wiki before, it was moved to ofbiz to have the help in the version what it was for and not a general help. Further it makes ofbiz depending on wiki and it does not have the multi language capability....

Yes it does use OFBiz content manager with content and data sources to be able to use the help screens also in PDF or other format documents.

Regards,
Hans

This makes sense Scott! We could even link the help from wiki online for demos. The problem is we use Confluence and its export is known to be flawed and not supported/mantained anymore.

I think it can be continued this way in the meantime. We would then have a corpus of help to incoporate in the future wiki structure you proposed. Of course the earlier this structure would exist the lesser work later...

Is it intended that we will eventually have a content, dataresource and file for every screen in OFBiz and in multiple languages?

I think we need to find a better approach than this, the committers can't maintain potentially thousands of help files and records. What about a wiki that we could run exports from, package up for download and then be deployed into OFBiz as needed by users (or as part of the release process)?

Regards
Scott

I committed because it's already a decent work

You and I have definitely a different opinion of what is a "decent work" :-)

Jacopo

, I mean the structure is ready, I expect Pierre to fill it now...

Log:
A patch from Pierre Smits "Help screens in Manufacturing" https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4802

Fix the help screens of Manufacturing

jleroux: We maybe need to think about the components order in help

I hate this commit: it simply adds a bunch of placeholder records. In my opinion an help screen should be added when it is complete or at least it has some meaningful text inside.
