Add/Edit Application Help Files
This is the starting page to add/edit application help files. To add a new help file, click on the link at the top of the page. This will clear the form and allow you to add the new help file. To edit a help file, click on the help title in the page results below the add/edit form. This will take you to the same form as the add form but the current help information will be displayed. Once changes have been made, click on the submit button.

Note: basic html code may be added to the help messages to provide spacing or special formatting options. All tags need an opening and closing tag to work correctly. All pages use xml compliant tags.

There is also a small filter form to help limit the number of help files that are returned in the list at the bottom. The filter can use a numeric value or a alpha search for something in the page title. The numeric search is the most common and will put the page into edit mode if possible.

There are also a number of view options to help you view the end results or actual help files. The page will also show a specific view mode if the page can determine that the page is in edit mode. The specific view mode is located by the password field and will have a link that says "view" next to it.
 

Special HTML Helper Values
Line Break(s)
This code helps the page add a single or double line break. The "br" stands for break or line break.
 
Hyper Link
This code helps to add a hyper link to the text. It needs to start and end with the "a" tags. The href part tells it where to go. The part inbetween the opening and closing "a" tag is the physical text that is shown to the user.
Sample Link: text goes here
 
Bold
This code helps to make one or more words show up in BOLD. Whatever value is between the "strong" tags will be bolded.
 
Italics
This code helps to make one or more words show up in Italics. Whatever value is between the "em" tags will be italicized.
 
Bullets
This code helps to make a bullted list. The code starts with an opening "ul" which means an un-ordered list. The closing "ul" tag is at the very end. The "li" tags (both opening and closing) create the item that will be in the list. Notice that each of the three items has an opening and closing tag. Here is what the bulleted list would look like.
  • item 1
  • item 2
  • item 3
Numbers
This code helps to make a numbered list. The code starts with an opening "ol" which means an ordered list (numbered). The closing "ol" tag is at the very end. The "li" tags (both opening and closing) create the item that will be in the list. Notice that each of the three items has an opening and closing tag. Here is what the numbered list would look like.
  1. item 1
  2. item 2
  3. item 3
 
Lines
This code helps to make a horizontal line. The width value may be changed to a different percentage as needed. The max is 100%. Here is what the code above would create:


 
Images



This code is how you point to an image or picture. Often a picture will have a hyper link wrapped around it to be used as a navigational object. As a note, if you are using a built-in editor to add the image or photo, it may treat the source as a link, if that is the case, you may have to select the source or link part of the tag and turn the link option off. Try to get it into the format listed above. You may have to manually alter things or hand build it to get it to work. Here are a couple different samples:
plain image... Main Adilas.biz logo.    -    or image with a link... Click to go to the main Adilas.biz homepage!
 
YouTube Videos

This code is how you point to a YouTube video. This is only allowed in certain parts of the system due to the iframe tag. Make sure and trade out the source code for your own video. As a note, if you are using a built-in editor to add a YouTube video, it may treat the source as a link, if that is the case, you may have to select the source or link part of the tag and turn the link option off. Try to get it into the format listed above. You may have to manually alter things or hand build it to get it to work.
