Synopsis

webERP has always had a manual that could be read as a series of linked HTML pages within the browser. Clicking on the manual icon in the header for each page.

Proposal

It is proposed that when the user clicks on the help icon, a popup text bubble will appear, with the manual inside, and it will then scroll to the section explaining the functionality that the user is currently using.

Manual

Method

Each script has two variables declared near the beginning of the script - before 'includes/header.php' is included.

$ViewTopic defines the Manual page that the help is contained in. So $ViewTopic = 'AccountsPayable'; points to ManualAccountsPayable.html $BookMark defines where on the manual page the functionality is. So $BookMark = 'NewSupplier'; points to the section of the Accounts Payable manual that explains how to create a new supplier.

To do

Some scripts don't have a section within the manual page explaining them. These scripts have the $BookMark set to $BookMark = ''; This will go to the correct manual page, but not scroll anywhere. This needs to be improved on.
