With respect to implementing contextual website help aimed at website users (as discussed here - #575720: What's the point of storing help in files ?), may I propose the following to enhance the usefulness of this module?

  1. Add a node access check to contextual link display. If combined with a node/book access module, this would allow role based website help e.g. extra help for website editors.
  2. Improve the popup display. It looks like it was implemented just to check links before exporting.
  3. Add a "help" menu item that would check for help context and redirect accordingly. This would be an alternative to the page help icon.
  4. Remove dependency on Advanced Help. As export is not required for this use case perhaps the export bits should be moved into a sub module?

Whilst I can achieve the first three via hooks and theme overrides, I feel it would make this module so much more useful if they were included in the module.

I'm willing to provide patches but first, what do you think?

I just saw this issue #563292: How do I style the popups? They don´t inherit any css file... which addresses point 2.

And there's a bit of overlap with point 4 in this issue - #428154: HelpInject should have the ability to add normal inline help to elements.
