Re: documentation on creating help pages howto
Hi Chris,
why not look at the documentation in the same help pages on how to
create them? As can be done with any help page look at hem in the
overall view of the same information
To create new help pages:
http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/cms/APACHE_OFBIZ_HTML#N23572
please be patient with loading, te document is not getting rather big.
Regards,
Hans

Re: documentation on creating help pages howto

Thanks for the link Hans that all makes sense now. Locally I didn't
have any demo data installed so:
http://localhost:8080/cmssite/cms/APACHE_OFBIZ_HTML - just gave me a
HTTP 404 so I assumed that it was just because it was "Experimental"!
It may be worth modifying the wiki page for "slow learners" like me:
We are currently setting up a document which is located inside the OFBiz
system. You can access it in using the demo server
<http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/cmssite/cms/APACHE_OFBIZ_HTML> or
when you have OFBiz running locally with the url:
http://localhost:8080/cmssite/cms/APACHE_OFBIZ_HTML (you need demo data
installed for this link to work).
Many thanks,
Chris
