Hi

I'm just looking at creating and adding a generic help file to the HTML5 LOs. I was hoping to create the file using the bootstrap temple, which I thought would be a great use of it but it clearly isn't an accepted format (one for the future??)

What is the best file format to use for the Help file?
I've tried a word doc but it forces download (my users won't spot that!)
It didn't like a pdf at all

Many thanks
Vicky

Hi Vicky,

If you want to create a Bootstrap templated Help File then simply take the play.php?template_id= url (that you see when you make it public) and put it in the Help File box but wrap it in single quotes like this - thanks for the tip Julian ;-)

instead up trying to upload a file and it will link to the page... We are trying to make this easier and intuitive to do and it will happen when the new editor is released..

A quick one:

What/how do I need to edit to force the bootstrap 'Help' file to open in a new window?

Thanks

What does it do just now? It should be opening in a _blank tab or window but these are down to user preferences controlled by the browser - have you tried in a different browser? Note the line window.open(eval(x_params.nfo), "_blank"); below:
Code:
if (x_params.nfo != undefined) { $x_footerL.prepend('<button id="x_helpBtn"></button>'); $("#x_helpBtn") .button({ icons: { primary: "x_help" }, label: x_getLangInfo(x_languageData.find("helpButton")[0], "label", "Help"), text: false }) .click(function() { window.open(eval(x_params.nfo), "_blank"); $(this) .blur() .removeClass("ui-state-focus") .removeClass("ui-state-hover"); }); }

Hi John

It's currently opening in a new tab rather than a new window - both Chrome and IE. I suspect some of our users will be confused as to where they are.
I'll prepare a few more instructions.
Thanks for your response and the code ;-)
