rpc.textpattern.com

Would it be possible for you to put a little left padding into the help pop-ups please as they are right up against the edge?

EDIT

Actually, just looking through a number of these it looks as though some are better than others. I don’t know if maybe some are new, or maybe it’s because some show a horizontal scroll-bar on my set-up. Perhaps the window needs to be a little wider.

Re: rpc.textpattern.com

also, it seems many of them just don’t have help at all?

for ex.

admin -> basic -> Automatically append comments to articles?
admin -> advanced -> file directory path
admin -> advanced -> plugin directory path
admin -> advanced -> Prevent widowed words in article titles?
admin -> advanced -> Compensate for persistent connections mod_deflate bug?
admin -> advanced -> Allow raw php?

probably some more.

i understand some of those are self-explanatory (sorta), except these directory path ones require the full path, whereas the ‘images’ setting for some reason only requires the relative path.

Re: rpc.textpattern.com

Yeah, many have none help information. Ofcourse it would need quite amount of work to write those. And then they would need translations for those who are level of “no speak English here”.

Re: rpc.textpattern.com

Steve, from what I can see, all the preferences you mentioned have a working popup help.

Re: rpc.textpattern.com

ruud, i just checked my site as well as my local test site with 4.0.6 installed.

i get this on the aforementioned preferences:

—-
Textpattern Help
Sorry

The help doc you requested does not exist. If you got here via a link from the Textpattern interface, this means it has not yet been created.
—-

but on others, i do get relevant help info. for example, the help link next to the no widow preference is as follows:
http://rpc.textpattern.com/help/?item=title_no_widow&language=en-us

if i remove the &language=en-us part, then it works.

Re: rpc.textpattern.com

Works for me, with and without the language part. Strange. Try a different browser and/or clear your cache.

Re: rpc.textpattern.com
