url
An absolute or relative URL to the HTML page that is the help topic to open for this block. This help topic opens from the ? button in a separate browser window. See Add Tooltips and Help in Custom Blocks for more information and examples.
Note: This attribute is only applicable for <presto:help> within <presto:block>.
There are two possible forms to use for relative URLs to help topics:
*Relative to the MashZone NextGen Server = must begin with /. There are two ways to host these HTML pages:
*/mashzone/files/some/path/myHelp.html for help files that have been uploaded to MashZone NextGen. This is a best practice.
Your MashZone NextGen administrator can host these HTML files in MashZone NextGen by uploading them in the Admin Console. Use the URL shown above with the path and file name assigned by your MashZone NextGen administrator.
*/some/path/in/app-server/myHelp.html for help files that are hosted in the same application server as the MashZone NextGen Server.
*Relative to MashZone NextGen Help = some/path/to/presto-help.html
Relative paths that do not begin with / are reserved for MashZone NextGen online help for the built-in blocks in Wires.
