Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 84130
Missing Entries for Using Database in Contents missing
Last modified: 2008-01-31 14:07:34 UTC
I miss the index entries for database functions in m237 and m238 The other entries seems to be correct For database function I can see only "General Information" and there "OpenOffice.org Database" and "Registering and Deleting a Database"
Please give more information: - in which module are you (listbox on top left of help viewer) - in the Index listbox, what are you missing? - have the missing items been there before, i.e. in versions prior to m237?
I open the help. I choose Contents. Then I choose Database Functionallity. There I found General Information. And there are only two entries. In version 2.3.1 are more entries. Beside General there are tree more entries.
The Contents page entry for "Database Functionality" should be expanded later. Since all the useful links are visible after clicking the first entry "OOo Database", this has a lower priority.
add to CC because it is touching the base modul In my opinion it is a big deterioration of the help in opposite to version 2.3.1
@ ufi I can't agree your decision. Why do somebody take away the entries from the contents list?
The old entries led to old descriptions of the old Base implementation. The old help files got removed or will be removed soon. New entries for the new Base help pages should be inserted to the *.tree files when time allows.
@ufi : and when will "time allow" ? One would have normally assumed before the next stable release ? Or is it planned to release 2.4 without any detailed entries ? Hmm, that doesn't seem too user friendly to me, or in line with the QA mission statement. Isn't that a bit like putting the cart before the horses ? Here you go people, have a nice new module, and not only will we not tell you how to use it, but we'll also take away the stuff that might have been at least partially relevant with the old version of the module. Sorry to appear aggressive here, but this does seem a rather odd decision. Alex
Inserted some entries to "Database" section of shared.tree in CWS hcshared15: <help_section application="swriter" id="09" title="Database Functionality"> <node id="0901" title="General Information"> <topic id="shared/text/shared/explorer/database/main.xhp">Using Databases in %PRODUCTNAME Base</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/database_main.xhp">Database Overview</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_new.xhp">Creating a New Database</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_tables.xhp">Working with Tables</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_queries.xhp">Working with Queries</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_forms.xhp">Working with Forms</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_reports.xhp">Creating Reports</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_register.xhp">Registering and Deleting a Database</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_im_export.xhp">Importing and Exporting Data in Base</topic> <topic id="shared/text/shared/guide/data_enter_sql.xhp">Executing SQL Commands</topic> </node> </help_section>
