GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 93285
Rhythmbox help
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I'm currently adding yelp/scrollkeeper help support to rhythmbox. The actual help isn't written yet, but once the support is in place, it is as easy as editing an xml file. I'm going to upload a patch here for testing, but it needs to be cleaned up a bit before it can be comitted.

Current Problems: 1. No table of contents sidebar - caused by my lack of xml knowledge 2. Buildscript problem causes manual not to be registered on some systems. Being worked on by documentation.
It turns out 1 is caused by 2 running scrollkeeper-rebuilddb as root fixes both problems but adding that to the buildscripts isn't exactly ideal. That attachement didn't upload properly AFAIK so if you want the patch you can email me - it's an archive because there are new files.
sorry, should be: It turns out 1 is caused by 2. Running scrollkeeper-rebuilddb as root fixes both problems but adding that to the buildscripts isn't exactly ideal. I'm working on it...
Fixed :) I will close this bug once(if) the help stuff is committed. Now all we need is a user's guide ;)

Fleshed out the contents, added an authors page, needs to be reviewed both of style and content!
Created attachment 11387 [details] [review] Mark: apply this to your help directory
Mark: you need to add each xml file you create to Makefile.am in the help/C dir. The above patch adds the new files. Also can you use the help menu within rhythmbox? it crashes for me - i'm going to look into it. Also in 2.1 "do not move of delete this file" ;) - and playlists are in the group functionality not the library ;) We really need to get the basic help framework working and committed - i will see if i can get it working by the end of the weekend - although i do have plans of drunkenness
Created attachment 11421 [details] Untar into help/C
Made the above changes, together with trying to layout the icons and images better, using tables, but they get horrid black bars across the top. No content changes. My help menu (CVS and initial patches) is fine.
