Add Help Popup Links for Template Names and Template Field Names #57

Closed wsloand closed 9 years ago

wsloand commented 9 years ago

When a user enters data in a templated group, they will often not have an idea of exactly what is needed for the template and the field names. It could be helpful to have links that go to template help pages that describe what should be entered for each type of data.

From an administrative perspective, it would be simplest if this were some wiki-type of page (not something needed for implementation within DACTYL). I'm generally thinking that it would go somewhere like:

http://server/path/Template_name from a ? icon image link (an icon with a question mark in it) next to the template name and http://server/path/Template_name#Field_name from a ? icon image link next to the field name.

If there is no template, then it could link to a generic page like http://server/path/No_template

There's no need to track if a field name is actually part of the template-- that can be done on the other end of the link.

As I've thought about this one more, can the template help link also be added to the template creation page (for admins)? That will help with documentation creation.

This works perfectly!
