help file

What does it mean - "add help file to my phprunner"?

hi,

help file = operation manual for end users,

A bit like what you do with "Manual Premium Pack"

hope this clears my intention.

It all depends on how exactly you need to integrate it. In the simplest form, you can just add a link to the manual to your main menu.

hi

I was expecting some ideas like:

. should I use 1,2 or may be 3 tables?

. should I add filter panel for search?

. would it be a good idea to present it on a 2 or 3 part dashboard etc...
thanks in advance

I can possible link any of these questions with "adding help file to PHPRunner application". Just have no idea.
You really need to explain what this all means.

hi

I'm creating a manual, integrated to my project.

What I have in mind is something (quite) similar to the phprunner online manual in functionality,

With 1 difference, The client's administrators will be able to add/remove/modify the manual.
Right now I'm working on the content in Excel

My columns Id, Chapter, Topic , Description (html content), Order (Int), keywords (comma seperated)
what I have in mind:

Opt 1. using list page with fixed 'search panel' or 'filter panel'...

Opt 2. using dashboard
I was trying to open a discussion about this topic. As I hope that someone who has done it before would be interested to share..

Or just give me and the community some ideas on what/how to do it
as I believe that this could be a great addition to any comercial implementation using Xlinesoft's products.
hope I made myself clear.

Don't know if you've seen this, but there's an older blog entry with some ideas (not by me): http://paulirvine.com/2015/06/02/making-a-context-sensitive-help-app-in-phprunner/

hi Michael

I haven't seen it before, but read it quite carefully.

But:

1. my approach is of a Manual hence, context sensitive is not part of it..
   

• although (in my opinion) it would be a lot easier doing it by retrieving the active page from its $_SESSION variable...
  
• or establishing an F1 call from javascriptOnLoad on all pages.
  What really interests me is: what would be the "nicest" way to display tha n¡manual to the end user..
  thanks for your reply.

Just for inspiration, this is how we do it in PHPRunner live demo:
