XF 2.1 Adding Additional "Help" Category

[kbryant414]

Hello,

I'm trying to find out if there's a simple way to add an additional "Help" category. I like the format and easy modification of AdminCP > Communication > Help pages but what I'd like to do is add an additional category, like FAQ or Guides. Ideally I would want to use http://www.forumurl.com/help/for forum-related topics and have another page like http://www.forumurl.com/faq/ for content-related topics.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this built in, or would it require more advanced developing skills?

Thank you.

The closest you'd really get is via page nodes. You'd create a "FAQ" option as a parent and then the pages you want under that. If you don't want it to show up in the node list, disable that on the FAQ node. Then, you'd add it via the public navigation system and it'd appear in the navigation at the top of the page. (If you want it elsewhere, you'd have to modify the templates directly.) To change the URLs to fit what you want, you can use the route filters system.

For anything else, you'd likely need custom development.

This should actually work well, I just need to figure out how to match the user's current theme.
