[Chameleon] HelpWidget

Hi list,

still in the process of upgrading my applications, I am trying to get my
application help system back on track.

In the past I used a Chameleon application for this with an empty MAP file
which had only a few HelpWidgets in it, e.g.:

<CWC2 TYPE="HelpWidget" WIDGET="ZoomIn"/>

I tried to use this in the 1.99 version, but there were a few problems
with regard to the helpfile locations (the widget name was not used as a
subdirectory), but now I am getting back the Widget developer
documentation instead of the description which I used to get.

There are also XML files as well as HTML files in CVS, should the HTML
files be considered deprecated?

How should I work with this in the 1.99 version? Is it still intended for
end user documentation?

BTW:

I had to replace the following occurences of:

if (file_exists(str_replace("\\","/",
$szDir."/".$this->maParams["WIDGET"].".help.xml")))

by:

if (file_exists(str_replace("\\","/",
$szDir."/".$this->maParams["WIDGET"]."/".$this->maParams["WIDGET"].".help.xml")))

Best regards,
Bart
