Title: Help pages
Post by: iainsherriff on November 13, 2008, 01:51:13 PM
I like the way TP adds its help pages to SMF.
I have smf media gallery, can I add an extra "TP type" help page [but with MG details on it ] by duplicating some of the TP coding.
Is it possible and is it allowed ?

thanks

Why not just add your own tab in the help pages and creat your very own help section that way. ?
Your not allowed to duplicate any sourse code and call it your own, if you use the code from TP, you need to add that Bloc owns the code and you used his code, so credit must be visible on that part.

You can check this from the modinstructions
Modification Instructions (http://docs.tinyportal.co.uk/index.php?topic=140)
But more or less themes/default/help.index.template.php and Sources/help.php

And then you will have to make your own help text and link to that

Personally, if I wanted my own help page I'd design a nice html page. Then put it in an article and link to that article in the menu. Much quicker and faster than writing a custom page for SMF.
