Creating own help files (help-contextual)

[juancarloscamargo]

Hi,
We would like to create our own contextual help files for custom modules, but cannot find where in the DB the configuration for entries in HELP_CONTEXTUAL (help-contextual.service.ts) gets stored:

{
"Heading": "string",
"Details": [
"string"
],
"Links": [
{
"Title": "string",
"Url": "string",
"IsExternal": true
}
]
}

Could any developer shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi @juancarloscamargo,

This JSON is not stored in the database, but compiled to code and linking the technical documentation. You can extend the HelpContextualService with another data source of your own. Could you describe your use case in a little more detail? Are you looking to change some text, or do you have another source for documentation links?

Hi @hannoquest , thanks.
We would like to add new documentation files to the existing ones.
These are some of the "contextId" already in the code, they're defined in qbm/help-contextual.service.ts :

Let's say, for the DataExplorerIdentities:'data-explorer-identities' , once you click on the information icon, the value for the json is :

We now want to add another help icon for one of our modules, let's say, WordPress Roles. We would then add an entry in help-contextual.service.ts for the HELP_CONTEXTUAL constant but we dont know how to fill up the rest of the json with the title, url to the imx/doc/ htm help file that we would create as well.
