Update v0.4 14th September 2007

• Now adds MySQL table automatically.
• Option to toggle integration with hak_tinymce on and off.
• Help documents have their own style sheet.
• Improved documentation.

Overview

Adds a ‘Help’ tab to the ‘Content’ area of admin. Intended to be used to provide documentation and help for end users/site editors.

It is easily edited (by those with ‘publisher’ privileges) from the administration section.

Integrates with hak_tinymce plugin, so you can edit your documentation using this WYSIWYG interface.

Installation

Problems with errors in plugin file fixed, thanks Pat for highlighting the problems.

During installation a table will be added to your MySQL database (see the plugin’s help section or readme.txt). Whilst I do not anticipate any problems with this installation it is always wise to make backups of your database before making any such alterations.

Configuration

You can now style the help pages using textpattern css styling options. Simply add a css ‘file’ called tame_enduser_docs to the textpattern styles section.

Optional Configuration

I would also suggest you add the lines below to the following file

\textpattern\tiny_mce\themes\advanced\css\editor_ui.css

to facilitate editing your end user documentations (makes the editing textarea wider).

/* tame_enduser_docs addition */
.mceEditor { width:700px}
/* end of tame_enduser_docs addition */

At present there is only the option to add one help page. The ability to add pages may be possible in future releases.

Plans

Future versions will come with ready made basic documentation for end users on how to use Textpattern and the hak_tinymce WYSIWYG interface.
