I really like this feature, and it looks really good w/ the system module.

However, I would like to know if anyone has a document or an example on how a non-System module uses the help system to a more full effect ... or can point me in a good direction to start.

The easy way:

Under /language/english

create subdirectory /help

and in it a file:

module_index.html

which will be your template for help. Change the code as needed:



You can also check out the templates for System module to see how it is being done there.

This will list your module's help in the overall help, but it won't set it a direct link in the toolbar menu itself. I am not sure at the moment if you can do it directly.

That's what I thought for the actual help page itself.

I like the way that the system help is rendered, but it seems to build all its options based off of the admin/directory/xoops_version.php structure.

I, however, don't code each of my admin functions in its own directory, mostly because I hate the clutter. I'm curious if it'd be possible to be able to expand or add an array in 2.5.1 or something such:

$modversion['helpinfo'][]['name'] = "My Help 1";
$modversion['helpinfo'][]['filename'] = "help1.html";

That way I, or anyone else could write a decent help system into our xoops_version files w/o having to create a massive directory structure to support it.

Just a thought. :)
