Tom Burns commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------
Jacques,
1. No need to dif the zips just replace everything from the first zip. Some
things are the same but trivial (gifs).
2. On a build strategy, my understanding is that the trunk will include
pre-built help. That is if someone checks out the trunk there will be a folder
applications/content/webapp/ofbizhelp that will have help files for accounting,
catalog, etc. There will be no need for the user to do a build after checkout.
I am not sure how you accomplish that - if you have to build the files offline
and upload them or can run the build from the trunk after uploading the zips.
One way or the other you will have to run the targets:
webhelp.accounting
webhelp.catalog
webhelp.humanres
webhelp.manufacturing
webhelp.manufacturing_de
webhelp.manufacturing_nl
webhelp.projectmgr
3. I'm not sure what you are asking for re: patches.
Since you moved the xsl to the trunk I considered supplying the changes to the
ofbiz files (themes, data, build.xml etc) as a patch but decided it would be
simpler to give you another copy of the zip.
4. I used the content for OFBIZ-5051 to create the content in manufacturing_de.
It is not necessary to move the contents of DE.zip to the trunk. The logic in
themes will block their presentation. I will add a comment on 5051.
I'll try to answer any other questions you have ASAP
Thanks,
Tom

> This is a status update just to let anyone who is interested know that this

> 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.
