needs to be fixed for 1.1 release

Sacha, please look at this for the 1.99 release.

Fixed. Now the HelpWidget looks in all WidgetManager widget's directory array
for the help file.

This cannot be verified, because I do not have an application with the help
widget.

Any Suggestions?

Could we use the hawai demo?

Sorry, hawai demo does not have help widget.

Could someone provide me with a methodology to test this issue?

create a 'help' template by putting a bunch of <cwc2 type="help"
widget="ZoomIn"/> tags for the widgets in the base, and create a
sample_help.phtml from one of the other sample phtmls

I tried what you explained.  "help" is not a good type (red link).  "HelpWidget"
is a good type but generates a parse error (see bug 486).

---------------------
Information on the test settings:

I used the Hawaii application found on xcalibur and made a few modifications to it.

Modifications I made are:

1.  Created a new widgets directory called "widgetes_norm" in the "hawaii"
application.

2.  Moved "HelpWidget" directory from the Chameleon base installation to
"hawaii" application under this new widgets directory.

3.  Added path to this new "widgets" directory in "index.phtml" file:
$oApp->CWCExecute("/path/to/hawaii/htdocs/widgets_norm/");

4.  Added the following lines in the "hawaii_demo.html" template:

      <!-- ------------------ -->
      <!-- HELP AREA BEGINS -->
      <!-- ------------------ -->
<tr>
        <td valign="top">
          <CWC2 TYPE="HelpWidget" VISIBLE="TRUE" ENABLED="TRUE"
WIDGET="HelpWidget"/>
        </td>
        <td valign="top">
          <CWC2 TYPE="HelpWidget" VISIBLE="TRUE" ENABLED="TRUE" WIDGET="Extent"/>
        </td>

</tr>

5.  Load the "index.phtml".

followed Norm's test and got the following errors:

Warning:

I also got the help doc output above my application

ReOpening bug for this issue

sorry last comment was for the windows 2000 regression test on beta 2 20040709

Changed target to 1.99 Beta 3.

help widget requires an extensive overall based on the new documentation
structure.  I would like to review the requirements for this widget before we
undertake any new development.

Ok, this is an open call for input on what people think or want the help widget
to do (this doesn't mean it will all be done, I just want input and to start a
BRIEF discussion).  

Chris, Paul was mentioning that you might have some new ideas as to what the
help widget should do.

I am planning to implement this fix early tomorrow so speak now or forever hold
your peace. ;)

Fixed in CVS.  This widget now checks for the proper help docs in the correct
location(s) and responds accordingly.  

The class name has been updated to the requested "EmbeddedHelp" name,
re-assigning to Paul to move the folder and file names (HelpWidget.dbf &
HelpWidget.widget.php) in CVS to the correct "EmbeddedHelp" names.

Sorry, marking this one as fixed.  I see that bug 633 has been created to rename
the widget.

Help:<cwc2 type="EmbeddedHelp" widget="Cursorpos"/>

Verified new widget EmbeddedHelp by placing tag in a sample application. The
text founded in the english xml file eg.
/widget/Cursorpos/Cursorpos.en-ca.doc.xml under the:
<cham:widgetdoc>
<cham:onlinehelp>help description string....</cham:onlinehelp>
<cham:widgetdoc>

is dumpped to the application where the widget tag is placed.
