Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22910
Help files
Last modified: 2006-02-22 18:21:42 UTC
Hi The help files for solstage2 are generic to SourceCast and do not include the updated material specific to OOo, like information on creating projects, ssh2 tunneling, etc. What process is required to change all these? louis
Good question. Beril?
Due to changing content we prefer not to override SourceCast default help files. There are several options. - The one we like more: It's possible to add links to the yellow stickies, custom help links to /servlets/HelpTOC and new help files. In the HelpTOC we can title that section as "openoffice.org help" or something similar which will indicate that it's specific to ooo - The one we like less: We override the help files. But in the future upgrades it's your responsibility to make sure they are updated. If you choose this option, I would recommend you to take the current SC help file and edit the contents of it rather than copying over the help files from current ooo site. In any case, initially I will have to make these changes. Then you can edit the files further if you need to.
From my POV, the best alternative is to override select files in the 2.6 Help files and we edit the files and then have responsibility for updating them (what does that entail?). On 1.1.3, we have the www/www/docs/ directory, which is where Help files (not counting TOC) are located; it is editable. The files we *need* to rewrite--and this is *not* a new thing, it has been understood as one of OOo's one-offs--include all of the Tunneling information. Further, we need to add an entry or modify the existing one (easier) on creating a project, as on OOo only a Domain Admin can create a project, but any observer can propose one. thanks louis
agenda: I will tell Beril which Help files need editing and she'll send me them for editing; I'll then send them back. louis
Beril, I need to edit: in help box: /scdocs/ProjectMembershipRequest /scdocs/ProjectAdd /scdocs/ProjectIssues#aboutIZ /scdocs/ddCVS scdocs/ddSSHGuide scdocs/ddSSHGuideConcepts.html /scdocs/ddSSHGuideTerminals.html /scdocs/ddSSHGuideCygwin.html /scdocs/ProjectOwnerMembers /scdocs/ProjectIssues /scdocs/UserEdit -->>> btw, this *should* be changed for all sun sites! I think that is it. thanks, louis
submitted PCN 24498 with edited help files, mainly the tunnelilng, ProjectAd. We can subsequently edit the Help files. They will be in look/www/branding/help-docs/ , I believe. OpenOffice.org should edit closely the Issue Tracker file, /scdocs/ ProjectIssues#aboutIZ. louis
this was done. louis
Let's close old, resolved isssues...
In the current 2.0.1 download, in Windows XP, the help file access problem still exists. In version 2.0.0, the problem does not exist. RenLeB
