Hints and Tips Manager - support thread

[clydejones]

Placed, refreshed, tested and 'No Joy' - no entry on the back-end... just a click on the 'submit' and the two fields still get wiped clean.

Noted that the php file has 'Hint' - not a problem, but even with taking out the name and email address, and clicking 'submit' - there's no error messages popping up about missing info.

Thanks.

Try this:

just unzip the package change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template and upload the entire includes folder to your server

That did it... what was it?!?

Thanks! (you want me to delete your customer entry? I put you on as a 30% customer ;) )

I had to re-work one line of code for the entry form.

I would like to do away with the "Add Hint" for customers. How would I go about doing that?

3 steps to do this:

first: admin -> configuration -> hints and tips -> Display Add New Hint Link In Sidebox (set to false)

second: open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_hints_manager_default.php
find and delete the following section of code

<div class="buttonRow forward"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_HINTS_ADD, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_HINTS, BUTTON_HINTS_ADD_ALT); ?></a></div>

third: open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_all_hints_default.php
find and delete the following section of code

<div class="buttonRow forward"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_HINTS_ADD, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_HINTS, BUTTON_HINTS_ADD_ALT); ?></a></div>

Hi
I have this mod in ZC 1.3.9h, but I want to style the text of hints and tips.
For some reason in the administration area Tools->Hints manager the html editor FCKeditor or CKEditor don't start.
When I look in hints_manager.php file in zc admin, I see that there are differences in a way to call Editor (I compare with ezpages.php and define_pages_editor.php only to catch how the editor is defined).
Where is the problem? Did I do something wrong when install mod or there is not support for extended editor?

hints and tips can/should be styled using the included stylesheets.

all_hints.css and hints_manager.css


These are found in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css

Hi
Sorry for delay of my response.
Yes I use .css files for "global" styling. But I want to have paragraphs, tables, lists and blocks of text with different colours etc.
I can't do that without editor like CKEditor or endless writing of html tags manualy.
Is there possibility to use editor in Hints and Tips manager?

Short answer no.

Hints and Tips manager was not created to be used with CKEditor. It was primarily intended for use by customers to indicate how they use a particular product and submit that hint for approval.

If you want to write hints and tips using tables, paragraphs and lists then I's suggest using EZ-Pages.

Hints and Tips is open source and you can change it to suit your own purposes.

Hi
I know that this is an old post (few months after my question in this thread).
I made search for one of my posts and I found my posts here. Maybe I forgot to post the solution - how to use FCK or CK editor in this addon.
Just add

<?php if ($editor_handler != '') include ($editor_handler); ?>

in admin/hins_manager.php before start of html defs on line 107.
This works perfect for me.
