Suggestion for "Help File Management" by -RAW-

[Cabola]

I don't know if this the right place for this, but since there's no support topic by -RAW- for the plugin and you're not able to send a private message to -RAW- then I'll post it here. It's sort of a bug report/suggestion. This topic is about this plugin:

When you install 1.0.0.1 and go to the help page without having made a Category first you get the following error message on the page:

[[Template help/front/index/noData does not exist. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

There's nothing wrong in themes and no reason to run the support tool. All that is required is to make a category for the plugin in admin cp. Perhaps it's better if it stated this instead of giving the above error message. Maybe something like this "Error - No Category or Help Topics exists. Login to Admin CP > Community > Help Topics > Manage and setup a Category and Help Topics"

 

Anyhow, hope that this was okay to post and that it was the right place to post it..

That's actually very helpful .  I did a test install to try out the file and I got the error.

Maybe I should highlight @-RAW- to bring attention to this

This is pretty much the unofficially official help file management tool, so we might as well get this app right.

Other suggestions for Help File Management:

• Reduce spacing between title and subtitle

• Allow featured / pinned within category
• Allow category icons: fa-icons and custom icons
• Allow ability to write help topic from front-end (with permissions)

Thank you for offering this app into the Marketplace
