Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

Beauty!  We could incorporate a facility I have already done for users to
update help.  It's basic.  A screen with a huge text box and Save/Cancel
kind of thing.  I'll have to figure out the css to get it looking like the
rest of the system unless someone else with some time and experience with
webERP could do that part.  Does this sound good?

Once that's in place it won't be too difficult to copy and paste chunks from
the manual(s) into the various script help areas/records to get started.

Just a thought at this point.  It would be nice if eventually we could have
a process that knew how to go through an updated manual, clip the chunks and
update the help records.  Possibly it could work by table of contents titles
or some kind of indicator.  Kind of like anchors.  This is not a first
priority but would be nice.  This would only work if user added help was
kept separate from default help though.  We could give user/admin access to
modify each of 2 records for each script that get concatenated when
displayed with default help then user help.  If they modify default help
then they just don't ever use the function to update help automatically.  Or
we could explain how they need to modify/replace the manual then run
automatic update.
