    Greetings all,

    The answer to my question is probably obvious and I’m just not seeing it, hence this post is in 101!

    I would like the "Help" menu item in Modx Manager to go to a custom help page for logged in users only instead of the default. Comments in the Help php file seems suggest that this should be done from a setting in Manager rather than by directly editing the file. Anyway, what is the simplest way to add custom help?

    All replies appreciated.

        I think that was implemented in the core, all you need to do is drop your custom help files in the help folder and the tabs will auto generate.

          Thanks both for your replies. Just putting a file in the directory worked fine. Easy when ya know how smiley

          And I’m going to try out the Help Manager which seems an elegant way to implement a help system.

          Thanks again for the quick responses and have a happy day!
