[RESOLVED] [2.3]Help Files Link

[Skruffy]

Hey there. I'm looking for a way to change the link to the help files so that the link reads:

http://st.celestial-nocturne.net/forum/index.php?act=Guide

 

instead of :

http://st.celestial-nocturne.net/forum/index.php?act=Help

 

Also. Is there still a way to hide certain help files as in IPB 1.3?

 

One last question. Is there a way to make a second set of Help Files?

Here are some instructions to rename the act=Help page.

 

Step 1. If you open index.php in your forums root folder.

 

Find:

"help"	   => array( "help"			   , 'help'		 , array() ),

 

Replace With:

"guide"	   => array( "help"			   , 'help'		 , array() ),

 

Close index.php

 

Step 2. Open sources/action_public/help.php

 

Find (two instances):

act=Help

 

Replace With:

act=Guide

 

Save sources/action_public/help.php

 

Step 3. Open your Admin CP > Look & Feel Tab > select your skins > Edit Template HTML > Help.

Open the template bits row and start.

 

Find (every instance):

act=Help

 

Replace With:

act=Guide

 

Save Template Bits.

 

Step 4. Only necessary if you want to rename a few language bits. Open cache/lang_cache/en/lang_help.php

You'll see for example 'help_topics' => "Help Topics", only rename the right side.

 

Step 5. Open cache/lang_cache/lang_global.php

 

Find:

'tb_help' => "Help",

 

Replace With:

'tb_help' => "Guide",

 

Save cache/lang_cache/lang_global.php

 

As for hiding help pages, I don't think that's a feature in IPB2.3, you can manage them in Admin CP > Tools & Settings Tab > Manage Help Files. You can delete and edit them from there, but no hide.

 

That's not a part of IPB by default, I guess if you really wanted to you could install one of the custom pages mods -IBM- Real Custom Pages would allow you to create the page autocom=pagename.
