Online help on Koha => REQUEST FOR HELP
Hello, I just commit on CVS a new feature, that will be available for 2.2 : online HELP On each template, a "HELP" link has been added. it opens a popup, filled with an help template. the help template is in the help/ directory. The help.pl files builds the online help using the name of the caller page (referer). If the user clic on "help" when on page "admin/itemtypes.pl", the "help/admin/itemtypes.tmpl" is opened. If the "help/admin/itemtypes.tmpl" does not exists, a default "sorry, no help on this topic" page is shown. Works fine, but now, the big work has to be done : create the online help pages... So, we need candidate to create the "help files". The help file can be a simple text file, only with cariage returns. If there are some candidate here, please say here which file or part of Koha you can do, and send me the help files. I'll include them in the official release, with HTML code added where needed. This task should not be done by a developper, but by librarians. Anyone sending me files will have it's name added to the contributor list, in "about" page of Koha. His name will be reminded forever by ppl all around the world -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Paul, I'd be happy to work on this, maybe recruit a little help from Joshua and Owen now and then. Could I suggest that we put a list of the pages that should have a help file on a wiki page? That way the draft help files could be linked to the list, everybody could edit and revise what's there, we'd all know what still needs to be done, etc., etc. -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com

it's quite easy : use koha. When you surf on a page named : my.koha.server.org/cgi-bin/koha/path/to/script.pl?anyparameters=X&otherparameter=Y a help page must be written for path/to/script.pl That's as simple as this. The same page is used for every action on the same page. I've opened a page on the wiki called OnlineHelp -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
