I think I will code the last piece of the new “help” subsystem today.
The subsystem works as follows:
The Program Manager, also referred to a “Coordinator”, has the ability to use an RTE (editor) to create help text on any topic that would be of assistance to users of the system. Once a text is created, it is saved as an HTM(L) file in a designated folder within the application main folder. Then, the help file is designated as helpful to Public users, Reviewers, Coordinators, or to ALL users.
When a user clicks on the “Help” link, a set of help files, actually hyperlinks, is dynamically generated based on the role the user is playing at the time. When the user selects a help link, a popup window is displayed.
This dynamic generation of hyperlinks piece is the one I will work on today. The other components have been coded and unit-tested.
