Updating the help for Simile 6

We need a copy of Simile help so that it can be updated offline while the current help remains available to users. To this end the book copy module was installed but it breaks the internal links.

Broken links

Hi,

 

On the working with files page "http://www.simulistics.com/help/filesystem/index.htm", all the links under the sections

Model file formats

Exporting model information

Reporting problems

are broken... ah but I've just seen that the links at the bottom of the same page work.

Thanks

Jon

Bread crumb trail

The default basis for the bread crumb trail is the menu. The "Modelling approaches" topics trail works This doesn't work if the page's parent  isn't in the menu, the trail only goes as far as the closest ancestor in the menu.

If the page is a book page the book hierrachy  then  dictates  the crumb trail.

In playing around to get things to look right I've made the tutorials part of a book rather than individual books. The crumb trail is then OK but the book contents page under the table of tutorials is not wanted

Change "Tips and tricks" to "How to"?

What about changing "Tips and tricks" to "How to"? Users will be more familiar with the latter.

Side bar width

The root home page looks plainer than the original sites - the flat layout doesn't draw the eye to sections. The main problem is that the side bars take up too much width leaving a narrow main centre section.

Robert has also noticed this problem, see the SimileXML Model conversion hub.

It should be a matter of modifying the theme css or other specification files. Actually should make a specific Simulistics theme based on one of the provided themes.
