Allows you to add a help link to each news field so you can provide special intructions on filling out that field.
This version of Aerosoul's Field Helper works with Firefox and Opera. It also adds some new global settings.
To use, simply go to "Edit News Fields" from the Administration menu, and choose (edit) the field for which you want to add FieldHelper. You will see a new field where you can enter a description of the news field. Repeat the process for other fields if desired.
When you go to the submit news page, there will be a question mark (?) next to each field name that has help. Clicking on the question mark will spawn a pop-up window with the field's help text that you entered earlier. In some browsers, you may need to turn off pop-up blockers for this to work. Safari and Firefox do not appear to block FieldHelper windows with their pop-up blockers turned on, however.
There are two additional settings located in the Administration area. To access them, go to "Change Settings" from the Administration menu, and scroll down to the Field Helper settings area.
In the settings area, you can set a standard message to appear at the top of the submit and modify news pages to inform users of the help links. You can also change the background color of the FieldHelper pop-us to match your Coranto theme. You may enter any valid CSS color code here, such as: #001122, red, 0F1, etc.
