| Summary | 0010580: add context-sensitive "help" button | ||||
| Description | The merchant SPA needs to provide users (especially *novice* users) more guidance. The simplest idea right now is to add a "Help" icon (pick some nice free one) to the top right of the title line (where we right now have the TALER logo a bit off-center in the middle). Clicking on the "Help" icon should open (in a new tab, if possible) some context-specific tutorial, or if no tutorial is available we can also link into the merchant handbook for now. Note that the link target should change depending on the sub-page (Orders, Inventory, Accounts, Templates, Settings, etc.) that the user is currently visiting. The help logo must also be shown on the login page and on the self-provisioning pages, so not only be visible after logging in. | ||||

| should be included on the distribution of the spa or it should be an external link? - if it is external: are there any tutorial that is already linkable? if this comes with the spa, then we should define a structure. it could be a modal UI and it will come with the benefit of staying up to date with the current version deployed and will also work with i18n in the same bundle. I have been thinking of this previously and it is not too complicated to create a multi step modal that: * dimmer every region * highlight specific section of the UI so the attention is there * show a modal with some custom explanation. if we keep text only (instead of video / image) it will be internationalizable * have a close button * have a next button and done to show all the steps related to the help. | |
| External link, deep links into https://tutorials.taler.net/ if applicable, otherwise some deep link into docs.taler.net/ (for now). We can do something integrated with the SPA later, I'm not against it. But as a quick fix, I think we should integrate links to the existing tutorials. | |
