This requires 2 new sakai.properties:

help.extern.webapp=true
help.extern.webapp.urlbase=https://oncoursehelp.iu.edu/helptool/docs/

The first is a boolean. as shown will tell Help to redirect, false or commented out will skip redirection.
The second is the url of the webapp to point to.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: the above properties were changed to a single property below

help.redirect.external.webapp=<url to point to>

I'm wondering why you'd want to get the help tool to issue the redirect here rather than just have the portal code use the right URL? This way, every Help request is generating an additional request & redirect.

Marking as resolved so this shows up as completed for 2.4.0.

However, longer term it should have a better solution, i.e. change the URLs generated by the portal rather than have the help tool issue a redirect.
