Hi BJ:
How about in a 9.04 release? Is there such a thing or does it need to be
created? If so, how is data loaded into the DB? Are there any examples
of seed data that have help files in docBook format? And, can  9.04
release even display docBook content?
TIA

Does the help system support i18n?  I.e. can help pages be written in
different languages?

Many thanks,

Chris

I know that https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Help+for+providing+help+content

Before this existed I just used my XML editor (Oxygen) in Eclipse.
By chance Oxygen is handling pretty well Docbook, and it's not expensive (some euros/year)

Hi Jacques,

I'm happy creating docbook files in xml and eclipse, but I am a bit
confused with the instructions at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Help+for+providing+help+content 
.  It refers to:

- ComponentNameHelpUrls in the main-decorator
- config/ComponentNameHelpUrls.xml

However, the catalog (product) component doesn't have those?  It looks
as though the configuration is done instead using the content management
component with data/ProductHelpData.xml.

Are the instructions at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Help+for+providing+help+content 
still valid?  I will take another look tomorrow morning...

Many thanks,

Chris

Ok, I think the following file is no longer used:

/applications/product/documents/Product.xml

If so, I can create a JIRA.

So, should it be removed?

the docbook was started in Aug  2009
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=805338
there are approximately 135 commits up this month
I will document them this weekend in wiki.

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

Trying to compile the latest trunk on a Debian stable system using
openJDK 1.6 and ant 1.7. Checked out revision 945444 thru 945449 of
trunk, 10.04, and 09.04.
 
09.04 compiles fine, but both 10.04 and trunk fail, with the following
errors:


[javac16] /home/ofbiz/release10.04/applications/product/src/org/ofbiz/product/product/ProductSearchSession.java:1231: cannot find symbol

Has something changed in 10.04 or should I be doing soemthing
differently?

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

you can install just the demo data for the help.
look up
ant -p for the install file target.
then just install the demo files you want

Thanks for the tip, I guess I just blindly assumed that any commit
should still compile.  That's probably naive on my part.

However, I reverted to 945340, and have the same result.  Also tried
installing sun-java-6-jdk, to see if openjdk was missing something, but
got the same result.

The error seems to be in file:
[of-biz-home]/applications/product/src/org/ofbiz/product/product/ProductSearchSession.java
at line 1231: cannot find symbol

This same file was changed when I reverted to 945340, but the changes
may go back further, I dunno.

  [javac16] symbol  : method
add(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>)
  [javac16] location: interface
java.util.List<java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>>
  [javac16]
featureCountList.add(UtilMisc.toMap("productFeatureId", (String)
searchResult.get("pfacProductFeatureId"), "productFeatureTypeId",
(String) searchResult.get("pfcProductFeatureTypeId"), "description",
(String) searchResult.get("pfcDescription"), "featureCount",
Long.toString((Long) searchResult.get("featureCount"))));
  [javac16]                             ^
  [javac16] 1 error


Anyone running Debian out there?  Anyone seeing this on other machines?
Any suggestions?
