Google TaskOne line summary
Write a document describing how to set up a local help server.
Description
The document should begin by illustrating, with the aid of screenshots, how
clicking on a help toolbar button in the Administrator will open a window
populated with help information pulled from a remote help server. Then show
how it is possible to point to a different help server by going into Global
Configuration (noting that this is different in 1.0 and 1.5). The document
should then describe how to download the official help screens from
JoomlaCode and install them on a local Joomla! instance (you do not need to
describe how to install Joomla! itself as this is documented elsewhere).
The document should comply with current Joomla! Editorial Style Guidelines
and guidelines for the Template Tutorials Project.
Documentation written for this task must be made available under the
Joomla! Electronic Documentation License.
Skills Needed
Difficulty
Basic.
Work Product
Document as described above.
Extra Credit (optional)
Describe how help screen "key references" are constructed and how to assign
a Joomla! content page to a key reference so it can be retrieved by the
help system.
Time Limit
2 weeks.
About Me: Moderately active Joomla! Community member. Been using Joomla! for a while and use it to build/manage most sites now as it saves time (which I don't have much of).
I plan to get a rough draft/outline done today or tomorrow (depending if I finish some other projects today). Hopefully by the end of this coming weekend I can have a near final draft of this up and ready. My goal is to make the learning process of setting up a local help server as easy as possible.
As usual, comments and questions are always welcome. Criticism is more than welcome (how else would I know what to fix?).
