Changing the default path. [#2589953]

As far as I understand, the html files needs to be in help/ folder in order to be recognised.

Is there any way (hook) which allows it to change the default path (help/), like pointing the help to docs/ folder?

The placement of the help-files and the .help.ini-file in the module's help/-folder is hard-coded. There is no setting or hook to change this. Currently you need to hack the module (not recommended) to change it.

Looking at _advanced_help_parse_ini, it seems trivial enough to replace the hard-coded folder name with a name picked up from a variable set by the admin.

However, I don't see the use-case for this. It seems a very marginal feature. This means the majority of the module's users would be better off without it, as adding a variable is adding bloat.

Postponing for now. Unless a good case is made for this, and some indication that this feature is requested by more than one person, it will not be implemented.
