How to make single (combined) Help file for various Custom Services
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Desired Outcome Goal:
Make a single (combined) document be the Help file for various Custom Services (rather than having a separate Help file for each).
Procedure:
Choice #1:
Reproduce the Help file for each custom service, that is, copy it as /exlibris/aleph/a2n_n/aleph/pc_b_help_eng/custom-01.html, custom-02.html, etc.
Choice #2:
a. Create a Word doc containing the desired documentation and save it as /exlibris/aleph/a2n_n/aleph/pc_b_help_eng/error_help custom-doc.html”.
b. Add a “<file>custom-doc</file>” line to the relevant $alephe_root/pc_b_eng menu file
c. Create a custom-doc.xml file like this:
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE dialog SYSTEM "dialog.dtd">
<dialog>
<title> Click on the “Help” button to the right to see the doc. </title>
<proc>xxxxxx</proc>
<control>
</control>
</dialog>
Additional Information
Earlier attempts resulted in Remote Service Error "Unable to find XML definition file for service" due to the files being in the wrong directory.
