Firebird connection setup

Hello.
I’ve filled a bug 153940 – Create a new help page explaining how to setup a Firebird connection about missing helpp about Firebird database connection setup.
As I say in the bug I can help in elaborate the information but I don’t know how to work with help pages so, I can’t do it. But I’m here if you need me…

Gracias @jucasaca for the offering.

To help you in writing the help page, I suggest you write it in a ODT file, and we then manage to convert into a Help page.

We have a template to guide you in the following web page:

https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/join-the-documentation-team/update-help-contents/

and the template
https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/template-help2.odt

Looking forward to hear you!

Kind regards
Olivier

Hi,

For changing help pages, I suggest you contact the documentation
team. I’m sure they will be delighted to teach you how to do it
and/or to put themselves the text you will have prepared.

Hello Olivier,

I’m Juan C. Sanz, just in case you don’t recognize my nick.

I’ve prepared the document with the information, I hope it is good enough, if not, you can contact me.

Should I upload the document to bugzilla too?

Hi, Lionel
(I take advantage of the fact that you are here to bother you :grinning:)
I am not a good programmer and may not even be a programmer, but I’m very interested in the Firebird driver, and some times I feel the need to comment something about it, could I contact you in any way? I promise to stop bothering you in the moment you say so.
Or could be you can mentoring me…
Regards
Juan Carlos

In principle, I would gladly mentor you. I cannot guarantee I’ll have
sufficient time and responsivity, but feel free to email me with
concrete questions. I’ll try :slight_smile:
