Advanced help dialog

This module requires the developer implement a hook to get any result (see below).

Advanced Help Dialog module provides a hook that lets you put links to advanced help topics in the "Help" region of specific paths. When users click these links, a ctools-style modal dialog box appears with the appropriate advanced help content. Here is an example of how to implement the hook:

<?php
/*
 * Implements hook_advanced_help_dialog_help().
 */
function modulename_advanced_help_dialog_help() {
  $help = array(
    'admin/config/path' => array(
      'topic' => array( // This is the name of a topic in module modulename
        'title' => t('Topic title'),
        'link_text' => t('Link title'),
        'show_navigation' => FALSE // Or TRUE if you want navigation ..
      )
    )
  );
  
  return $help;
}
?>

The snippet above will place a link with the title "Link title" in the help region that opens a modal box displaying the advanced help content with name "topic" in module "modulename".

Also, this module exposes a new "modal_help_dialog" render element that you can use to do the same thing in any render array, like this:

<?php
$form['help'] = array(
  '#type' => 'modal_help_dialog',
  '#module' => 'mymodule',
  '#topic' => 'mytopic',
  '#link_text' => t('Link text')
);
?>
