Description Martin Kolman 2015-01-16 18:43:49 UTC

Description of problem:
The kdump Anaconda spoke provided by the kdump Anaconda addon does not define the helpFile spoke property. This results in the help content for the kdump spoke not being displayed even though it is present in the help conent provided by the Installation Guide.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start graphical RHEL 7.1 installation
2. on the summary hub, click on the kdump addon
3. on the kdump addon screen click on the Help! button

Actual results:
the "no help available for this screen" placeholder shows up

Expected results:
the kdump specific help content is shown  

Additional info:
A proposed patch has been submitted as a pull request on GitHub:
https://github.com/daveyoung/kdump-anaconda-addon/pull/5

Hello Martin

I have pulled the patch into github, but I need to know who should provide the help content xml, should we add a new file in our addon package or anaconda will provide it? Will it involves po translations? 

Thanks
Dave

The help content for both Anaconda and the Kdump addon (KdumpSpoke.xml) is currently shipped as part Anaconda since version 19.31.120, so there is no need to do anything more on your side other than merging the pull request.

You can test that it works correctly by running the addon with the change on Anaconda 19.31.120+, going to the Kdump spoke and clicking on the "Help!" button in upper right corner. Then then a help window containing Kdump related help content should open.

We plan to eventually add support for addons shipping their own docs, so if you want to manage your own documentation, it will be possible in the future (~7.2).

Martin,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately we know this late or I would like to do it in 7.1. I will test on Fedora first.

For the xml I think maintain it in anaconda is fine to me.

Thanks
Dave
