Devs! Need a hand, I have added a DMs shortcut that I want to pop up a page showing the consolidated short list that nezzir and few others put together. I got the button, implemented it and can get it to work with other things (I can open the referenceroot page with the rules, the character sheet, etc) but I cannot seem to get it to open a frame and put data in there.
I have created a help.xml file containing all the data in nice neat xml. I cannot seem to find a way to link the help.xml to the
<datasource name="help" />

Not sure if that is clear or not, any help is greatly appreciated.

Check out my post here on how to add a NEW window:

In your case, assuming you're using a close to default set, find the xml file that has the menu you want to add to, then just create a new section (like the other ones) and dump the data in there. It should make a new menu item and display the data there. No new file needs to be created. If there's a file with "House Rules" in it, look at putting it in that one.
