User help plugin

[akapar]

Hi there,

Would anyone want to take a stab at developing a user help plugin? I am thinking of creating help files for my users regarding topics like how to create an ad, how to conduct search, how to recover forgotten password etc. At the moment installing a messaging board like PHPBB and using it to create help pages looks like the best option (I would like to use screenshots and potentially some instructional videos). Another option would be developing a plugin but unfortunately I don't know programming. I think this plugin would be an essential part of OSClass.

Thanks.

Hi akapar,


We had a similar idea, we want to write more on our wiki ( http://wiki.osclass.org/ ) and has some tutorial videos ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcWsyTl7-TE ). I don't see how the plugin could be, so if you tell us a little more maybe we could help you.

Thanks

Hi Conejo,

Below are some example classified ad website user help files:

I was thinking of a plugin that will provide some standard help files (to be written by OSClass community, I am happy to lead this if needed) and will also give the Admin the functionality to customize help content (potentially with an editor like Rich-Edit). The plugin should basically install some HTML help files and their URLs.
