Need a way to set helpURL via Package Exporter

Open vadi2 opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

It's not currently possible to set the helpURL via the package exporter - it should be, so you don't have to edit the edit xml post-export.

I wonder if there is a description on what this helpURL should effect in the end. How to test it? I added the following to an XML which I exported, then imported the package again, to no effect.

	<HelpPackage>
		<helpURL>
			www.google.com
		</helpURL>
	</HelpPackage>

The suggestion I got from searching for "helpURL" in Mudlet forums, finding only this 2012 mention: https://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2388&p=12930&hilit=helpURL#p12930 Any other occurences in code did not help me in understanding, what this should actually do: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMudlet%2FMudlet%20helpURL&type=code Kindly elaborate, if you could please.

It's an old property we added that never really got properly shown anywhere - we need a separate ticket to actually visualise it too 😅

So if it wasn't shown for 10+ years now, it could be simply done away with? Not sure what's the merit here. Is anybody using it?

We can, but wouldn't it be useful to know where to get help for a package?

Don't you need a scheme (likely https:// in this day and age) for that to be a valid - and usable - URL? 🤔
