Ability to redefine "Help" link
0%
Description
It would be useful to redefine the "help" link, to link them to some wikipage for example.
The most endusers won't request some feature on Redmine. It would be useful to link it to a selfdefined wikipage.
What do you think?

Edit source:/trunk/lib/redmine/info.rb. Change the line 6:
def help_url; 'http://www.redmine.org/guide' endto what you want, par example
def help_url; 'http://redmine.mycompany.com/projects/help/wiki' end

Thanks Ivan. I found this line too. But this always requires some codechange on every update. With some option, this could be handled much better.

You can use the menu API to remove the default item and add your own from a plugin.

See source:/trunk/lib/redmine/plugin.rb#L251 (menu and aliased #add_menu_item) upto source:/trunk/lib/redmine/plugin.rb#L265 (#delete_menu_item).
Edit: I think this could be done best using a custom plugin. Close as won't fix?

I started work on a new plugin for this. The Redmine Custom Help URL plugin is the result.
See for the first public announcement.
