Post help comments on ModX Evolution 0.9.6.3

What’s the best way to post help comments on ModX? (also considering that when updating the CMS we don’t lose them)

I wanna add help comments next to the resource fields, like title, long title, description, summary, etc.
Now there’s a comment icon next to each field, that when placing the mouse over appears some text.
How can I add personalized text there?

Also I’d like to post a pdf file on the ModX -> Site -> Home page, so users can download the documentation. Any ideas?

Many thanks!!

The ManagerManager plugin will do the job. You should have a chunk "mm_demo_rules" with a few demo rules; most of them are probably commented out.

You can change the chunk to use (or change this one’s name) in the MM plugin’s Configuration tab.

An example of the rules you’ll want to have in the rules chunk:


To put a link on the Manager’s Home page, edit the assets/templates/manager/welcome.html file. You’ll need to make sure to have a copy of this safely tucked away for after upgrades.

You can also add files to the assets/templates/help folder; each file gets a tab in the Manager’s Help page. The filename is used for the tab title; underscores are replaced with spaces, and the leading digits indicate tab placement. You can look at the existing file to see the internal HTML structure. Usually when I do this, I add a big Help icon and link to the Welcome page as well.
