Using PDF for showing p.mapper help from tool links

[dgambin]

Hi,

I have made a user guide for working with p.mapper. It is in PDF format.

I wanted to use an URL with path to this PDF document when a user clicks
on Help link from tool links, instead of opening p.mapper help window
(help.phtml).

I have modified this part:

{linkid:'help', name:'Help', run:'PM.Dlg.openHelp', imgsrc:'help-w.png'}

to

{linkid:'help', name:'Help',
run:'window.open(\'http://mydomain.com/mydocuments/userguide.pdf\')',
imgsrc:'help-w.png'}


And this is working but with errors such as this in FF:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Cannot convert WrappedNative to
function"  nsresult: "0x8057000d (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_CONVERT_WN_TO_FUN)"
location: "JS frame ::
javascript:window.open('http://mydomain.com/mydocuments/userguide.pdf')()
:: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

and this in IE:

Message: No such interface supported

Is it possible to somehow avoid these errors?


thanks very much


regards, dejan

you cannot pass variables via the functions defined for 'run'.
Instead, create a function like

function myHelpOpen() {
   window.open('http://mydomain.com/mydocuments/userguide.pdf');
}

and define this as
...
 run: 'myHelpOpen'
