Location of the help

You can customize toolbar help link to reflect the your site content. The help page that is provided by WebSphere Portal provides definitions for common portal terms, such as portlet and skin. You can either keep these definitions or provide your own.

By default, the portal help link is located in...

../themes/html/ToolBarInclude.jsp

For example, on an iSeries box, ToolBarInclude.jsp could be in...

/QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/WAS5Portal/installedApps/HostName/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html/theme_name

The markup for the help link is identified by the following comment: 

    <%-- help button --%>

This help link can be placed one other theme JSP files. To provide site-specific help, edit the target of the help link or edit the help source provided by WebSphere Portal.

To change the help link, edit the link in the JSPs that are provided for each theme that you use. The following example shows the default help link target:

href="<%= wpsDocURL %>/Information Center/help/index.html"

To change the help source, edit... 

   was_root/installedApps/hostname/wps.ear/wps.war/doc/locale/Information Center/help/index.html

 

Change the portal help window size

By default, the help link sets the portal help window width to 800 pixels and the height to 600 pixels, using the JavaScript onClick event handler of the anchor tag. To change the window size...

  1. Locate the markup for the help link.

  2. In the corresponding anchor tag, look for the width=800,height=600 values in the window.open() method.

  3. Change these values to the desired width and height values for the help window.
