help system fallback #192

Open syntithenai opened 8 years ago

syntithenai commented 8 years ago

The help system is currently tied to modules/actions/subactions. Help is only available on pages where there is a help file matching the current request. Where it is desired to show the same content for multiple actions, the help content must be replicated.

It would be useful to a fallback mechanism so that a module could implement help in a single file and the help delivery system could seek more general help files for the module.

For example the request /tasks/taskgroup-edit/1 would seek help files

until one was found.

Even nicer would be some config mapping to link actions to anchors within a document.

Good time to consider internationalisation too.

great idea ... this would work just like the templating mechanism when searching for layout templates.

Internationalisation is a huge topic and not one we have yet dared to approach .. however with help files it may actually be easiest ... just make one file per language.
