Library_admin_help_texts

New

To add help text to any page, use the following naming convention to create the "help key" <controller><action> key. For example, to add help text to the ServerTemplates index page he would use "server</action>templates_index."</controller>

• _index - This help text will appear on the component's index page
• _show - This help text will appear when you view an individual component (Server, RightScript, ServerTemplate, etc.)
• _new - This help text will appear when you create a new component (or launch).

To create conditional text, you must create custom keys and add code to the controller like this:

if @condition == true @helpmessagekey = "mycustomkey"

The help text will always appear in the same place, i.e. at the top of the view. If you require help text inside a tab, popup, or elsewhere, you can still use the help_message method to render the help text as you wish.
