Module request - A Help module.

Post by vicpug »

I don't know if this the correct board to post on - so I am happy to delete and move somewhere else. It would be nice to have a flexible admin modifiable 'help module' which allows extra Help documentation to be added to the Help portion of a module on the fly. At the moment you have to edit individual module source code. Many thanks.

What do you mean ?

If you want to improve the help of a module, the best thing would be to send a revised help text to the developer so he can integrate it for everyone :)

I was thinking more along the lines of site specific help for an editor - along the lines of

'Content field Product Description ' this contains all upper case description of Fabrics in this category.
'Content field Product Image' Image of product - must be landscape aspect and size 500x300 pixels.
etc.

thanks

You can already do this by using the module_custom process:

about 2/3 of the way down the page you'll find:

Q: How do I change those hard coded module strings?
