[platform-help-dev] RE: platform-help-dev Digest, Vol 2, Issue 2

Hi Sean, 

We point to a custom home page that resides in a custom documentation
plugin. I changed the path in org.eclipse.help.base/doc/preferences.ini.
Note that the path line should not have a comment (#). This is the example
that works for us:

--------------
# The page to show in the content area when opening help.
# Specify your html page as /pluginId/path/to/home.html.
# Currently, the default home is /org.eclipse.help/doc/help_home.html.
# help_home=/org.eclipse.help.base/doc/help_home.html
help_home=/com.peregrine.eclipse.doc.getstart/help_home.html

Hi,

Has anyone had a similar experience and come up with a solution? Ultimately,
I would like to point to a custom help_home.html page that lives outside the
root Eclipse plugin directory. This task seems easy enough but when I
started to do some initial tests to see if I could change the
preferences.ini path to point to and display my custome help_home file
WITHIN the root Eclipse plugin directory, I ran into problems.

All of the paths below should work, but display fails as soon as I climb out
of org.eclipse.help.base and into other plugins in C:\...\Eclipse\plugins.
As you may know, the preferences.ini file says: "Specify your html page as
/pluginId/path/to/home.html", so I should see it display in all cases.
Right?

from C:\...\Eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\preferences.ini:

#####################

# Layout of help view

#####################

...

# The page to show in the content area when opening help.
# Specify your html page as /pluginId/path/to/home.html.

# Currently, the default home is /org.eclipse.help/doc/help_home.html.

# Following path does display home help (default) 
#help_home=/org.eclipse.help.base/doc/help_home.html

# Following path does display home help
#help_home=/org.eclipse.help.base/help_home.html

# Following path does display home help
#help_home=/org.eclipse.help.base/doc/test/help_home.html


# Following path does *not* display home help
#help_home=/org.apache.ant_1.6.2/help_home.html

# Following path does *not* display home help
help_home=/org.apache.ant_1.6.2/org.eclipse.help.webapp_3.0.1/help_home.html

...

If the .ini does not recognize the association at the root level, then it
won't when extending to the custom help_home file outside root. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
