Hi Robert,
I believe this works but there are no delivered context help files right
now.
For example, you can create a base web page at
/openils/var/web/help.html for example and this will display if no other
help is found.
However, you can create context help by adding it for each screen, e.g.
patron search
/openils/var/web/xul/rel_2_1_0/server/patron/display_horiz.xul.custom_help.html
As long as you have a start and close html tag it seems to work
<html></html>
If you follow your apache error log as you navigate from page to page
you can find the missing filenames as you click the help button.
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi all,
I was digging around for information on context help. I was hoping to
experiment to see what options were possible in regards to directing
users to appropriate docs on the evergreen server or external servers.
The only information I found was this scratchpad info from 2010:
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=scratchpad:custom_help
However, in testing I found that context help was only working for the
OPAC search page even when help.html pages were in place in the
prescribed locations. I tested on an older 2.2 master staff client and
2.0 version with the same results. I also found that the debug console
did not provide the information that it was supposed to. I did not see
messages such as:
set_help_context:
{"protocol":"http:","hostname":"acq.open-ils.org","port":"","pathname":"/xul/acq_20100513/server/circ/checkin.xul","src":""}
nor
helpwidget: testing <http://acq.open-ils.org/help.html>
for example.
I would like to get information about the current state of this feature
and a good starting point (code/page reference) if I want to experiment
with pointing context help to different sources on my test server.
I also wonder if this is a good time to reopen the discussion on this
feature?
Thanks,
Robert
