Help Icon - PHPMaker Extension

Introduction

The Help Icon extension for PHPMaker allows you to display a question mark icon in front of any page caption, providing users with a helpful modal dialog. This extension enhances user experience by offering contextual help on various pages within your PHPMaker-generated application.

Features

  • Displays a question mark icon next to page captions.
  • Provides help modals with user-defined HTML content.
  • Supports PHPMaker-generated tables, custom pages, and reports.
  • Automatically adds records to the settings table for each page type.
  • Works with PHPMaker 2024 and later.
  • MySQL support only (for now).

How It Works

  1. The extension automatically inserts records into a settings table for each table, report, and custom page.
  2. You can update the HTML content of the help modals via the database.
  3. If a page type has no help content, the question mark icon will not be displayed.
