Title: Removing the Help Menu - Adding my Own Help text
Post by: tcultech on April 20, 2017, 11:08:23 am
Since the help menu and topics lead to empty stubs right now, I don't want my users to click on that and be confused or upset with me when looking for docs. Is there a way to temporarily hide the help menu?

Also, if I want to write up my own help files for my board, which files do I need to edit to update that or add pages on my forum?

Thanks much!

Hiding the menu should be simple enough with Ultimate Menu (http://addons.elkarte.net/enhancement/Ultimate-Menu.html).

I've added some pages with
Pages (http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=2494.msg16563) (see here (http://thedndsanctuary.eu/index.php?action=pages;pa=rules) and here (http://thedndsanctuary.eu/index.php?action=pages;pa=smileys)). It's probably way too complex if you just want something simple, but I wanted to give myself some extra flexibility.

Hmm, it appears the Ultimate Menu add-on only lets you add menus, not edit any of the default, built-in ones. At least unless I'm missing something. Will keep monkeying with it though and report back with results.

To hide it, you can edit Subs.php:
					'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
),
to:
Code: [Select]
					'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => false,
),

Sorry, it's been a while since I set it up. It might be worth suggesting it for the next version! :)
