Help widget

[yvesm]

It would be nice to have a widget that would display contextual help in the GeoPrisma UI.

This would require to add an XML node to all widgets with the contents (I18n'ed) of the help tip to be displayed.

What about this :

• have a "Help" widget that would consist of a button that, on click, pops a window with tags (each tag being a widget).

• each widget would have a "help" directory added, in which there would be fr.html and en.html pages to include by the help widget. The pages would be plain html. If they require stylesheets, each widget would have to define its own that would be put in the same "help" directory.

• each widget would require to have a title defined somewhere (in xslt or better in php). We don't want to display "geoextux_redliningpanel" in the help widget tags, don't we ?

• etc.

Thoughts ?

I'm not sure it this is still wanted as a GeoPrisma core feature. Having a better documentation would do the trick in my opinion. Should we still keep this idea ?
