> I have implemented an on-line help linking system the you can find in the attached patch (help_links.patch) and preview in help_links.jpg.
> This is a short description of how it works.
> I have added a "link-url" property to the container tag. Now it is possible to write something like:
> <property-map resource="ProjectMgrUiHelpUrls" map-name="uiHelpUrlsMap" global="true"/>
> ...
> <container style="screenlet" help-url="${uiHelpUrlsMap.ProjectManagerApplicationRoles}">
> When such a property is specified the container is rendered with a textual "?" that contains an href to an help page url.
> I have included in the patch also a modified maincss.css file that shows a more beatifull yellow icon like you can see in the preview.
> I have done some thinking about how to build the help urls with the following requirements:
> 1) Should be possible to change the whole help site used with a single modification in one file
> 2) Different help urls should be used depending on th locale
> To implement this I added the HelpUrls.xml resource file that in in the framework and defines the following keys:
> - helpurls.prefix = the first part of every help url
> - helpurls.suffix = the last part of every help url
> - helpurls.hint = a string that is displayed when the mouse is moved on the help icon
> All these keys are translated in urls and strings that are (or can be) specific to the selected locale. I this way it is possible for example to have the different languages help pages located on different sites (changing the helpurl.prefix) or it is possible to have an help system that provides different language help based on parameter attached to the url (something like ?language=it or similar)
> The final url attached to the icon is made of the prefix, the container specific help-url and the suffix
> Even the container specific help-url could conveniently be taken from a resource file so that a change in the help system pages should require only the resource file modification and not all the screens.
> I have included in the patch a single modified screen that uses the help links. This is one of the Project Manager Application that is available at this link:
> https://localhost:8443/projectmgr/control/MyTasks
> Could you please review the system?
