 Hi,

If you'll change an existing message then this will not make it to appear again for those who already seen the old version. But you can use any number of messages for one page. So if you want a new message to appear for everyone then you can simply create a new message for the page (leaving the old one if you wish).

UPDATE: Added an ability to set up multilingual messages. A message is then being shown to a user in his language.

Is there a way to set this up to pop up for a certain membership level?

Out of the box - no. But if your goal is to show some popup messages depending on a viewer's membership level then may be Announcer will be more suitable.

Once the post has been viewed is there an icon (like you have for announcer) or some process so that the viewer can review the existing message(s) for the page being viewed?  I am asking because the post only comes up once.  With that being true how does the viewer see the information again later?

No, there is no way for a member to view a message that he already had seen. All helper messages supposed to be read only once. 

We are open to suggestions. How exactly you'd like members to be able to access such messages again? May be a small question icon at the top-right corner of a page which will bring dropdown of all helper messages available for that page?

 Yes with a way to title the question mark.  I would title it page help and use this as a way to provide HELPS for the important pages throughout the system and I could be as detailed as necessary to drive points across for the various pages involved.  Members could be trained to look for the question mark (That has a title below it) and on my site it would be throughout the main pages for the entire system.  If there is no help page created the question mark doesn't appear.  The admin should be able to configure where the question mark should appear.

Something like that would be very useful.

UPDATE: Version 1.2.0

Now a member can view any help message more than once. Each page with help message(s) is showing a question sign at the top-right corner which brings a dropdown list of links for all the help messages for that particular page.

Traditionally help icons are appearing at the top-right corner of a page. So that is a default behavior. For those of you who'd like to see it at the top-left corner edit the file modules/aqb/pages_helper/classes/AqbPagesHelperConfig.php, comment (or remove) the line

return 'tr'; //top-right corner

and uncomment the line

return 'tl'; //top-left corner

return 'tr'; //top-right corner

return 'tl'; //top-left corner

 Thanks, I did pick up the mod and am looking forward to using it.

Ok I would like to know how i can move the question mark down so its on the same level as the top menu navigation.   The reason why is when you float the mouse over it, the window that opens up overlaps the top where my avatar is with the tick-down and its hard to read the title.  However if it were on the same level as the navigation i believe that would resolve it.

Is that a css adjustment?

Michael

 Yes, see the file modules/aqb/pages_helper/templates/base/question.html, the line

top: 10px;

I created a page helper for the index.php and it is not showing up on the page.  Does this not work with the homepage?

Ok I figured it out it only shows up for members and not guests.  Any way to make it available to guests?

Michael

Homepage can be reached via two different URLs: http://yoursite.com/index.php and http://yoursite.com/. This means you need to have two Helpers - one for index.php and the other just for http://yoursite.com/ (or only the latter since it is more common URL to an index page).

How can I add the word Help or even Click Here For Help? to replace, or be alongside the question mark?

I'm amazed at the number of members who are "unable" to find the question mark despite being told where to look!

Hi,

You should edit the file 

modules/aqb/pages_helper/templates/base/question.html

and replace the line

    <i class="sys-icon question-sign question" id="aqb_pages_helper_question"></i>

with lets say 

    Help<i class="sys-icon question-sign question" id="aqb_pages_helper_question"></i>

Then clean site's templates cache.
