Hi,
I’m Using PP 9.1.
I’m trying to allow customised help text (as set in edit protocol / help text) to be displayed in a protocols help tab in the webport for a packaged components. The idea is a standard help text is shown followed by some customised text set by a system admin outside of the package.
One way would be to allow the help text to be read in and displayed from a separate help text html file which could be placed on the server.
I tried this with an iframe e.g
And although it worked for the text within the Pro client, it just showed an empty frame in the webport (see attached).
An alternative is to render the custom help text as an image, saving it on the server, then display it with a src attribute of the img tag, but I’d prefer a live page or real text if possible (so links etc work).
Is it possible to achieve this within the help text? The suggested standard ways with jscript or php also don’t seem to work from within the help window with the code not being recognised and shown as text.
A third alternative is to pass text into the help section from within the protocol e.g via global or pilotscript. However I don’t think that would work as the protocol would need to run in order to generate the help text.
Can anyone suggest a way to do this so the custom text is shown in the webport help tab?
The best I’ve thought of so is to include “please click here for more information” with a link to a stub html page on the server than can be edited.
Thanks
Joe
