Zugg Software :: View topic - Any way to keep help links from opening my browser?

Hi, really enjoying the latest iteration of CMUD.

Using the help system of CMUD all links that should go to other help files within the application instead open those helpfiles on the CMUD website.
Is there any way to prevent this behavior?

Thanks

Nope. The help window's basically just showing you the html from the website that it's downloaded, and it's just displaying that html again. Since the links are http links, it's going to open a browser.

It's something that'd be nice to change (so that they point to the files in the CMUD help viewer instead) but that will probably be a reasonable amount of work and thus not a very high priority.

It really is too bad that the helpfiles aren't XHTML compliant then XSLT could be used to change links like http://forums.zuggsoft.com/kb/cmud_sessions
to something like cmud_help://cmud_sessions then Zugg would just have to write a link handler to grab the cmud_help://<whatever> links and load that from the db.

Of course they could be made compliant using something like HTML Tidy...

I'd have to agree that I hate when clicking on a link within the help files brings me to the website.

I hate this too.
