Help icons inactive

[ariana-paris]

Original issue 59 created by highlander.ii on 2008-05-06T22:13:40.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Navigate to and Log in to the Archive
2. Click on 'Post New'
3. Enter a 'story title'
4. The phrase "Thanks, that length looks good." appears, next to it is a small blue circle w/ a question mark inside
5. Mouseover the icon -

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Typically, this icon equates to a 'help' function or a 'what is this' function, but in this case, it does nothing. It should be a link or a pop-up describing the item to which it refers.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Windows XP; SeaMonkey 1.1.2

As of revision 556, all the help icons are inactive currently except for a couple of examples on the views/_work_form.erb.html partial, but there is now a new helper link_to_help("help-file-name") function, which links to spiffy help files in the public/help folder (translated versions of which are easy to create).

All the help icon links should be replaced with calls like this:

<%= link_to_help("help-file-name") -%>

and then a corresponding help file created:

public/help/help-file-name.html

with just very basic HTML. Ideally we'd like to get this done for beta with at least some placeholder text for the help files.

Around revision 576

I've put in links for the two remaining icon tags I could find (one in _work_form.html.erb and one in _preview_edit.html.erb). They worked in my copy and I committed them, but screwed up by not putting in a message for the log (my first commit). I checked all the views folders, so unless there are help links somewhere else this should take care of this.

Works for Story Title! \o/

We also need some text for the "Only make my story visible to registered users" help icon. I suggest the following:

Heading: Registered Users

Text: A registered user is a person with an Archive account. If you check this box your story can only be viewed by a person who is logged in.

I'm popping in black_samvara's text to complete the icon activation. I think this may be fixed!

The help icon next to 'required field' on the works preview page comes up with a help box that says:

The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.'

Amanda, there are a few more of these scattered through the archive, are you up for fixing them one at a time as we point them out?
