Issue Summary

it'd be nice if FCKeditor had hook into the "compose tips" module (through a custom filter?) that created a brief handbook for users, or at least told them to "switch to plain text or click "source" button" to use html and gave a link to the userguide.

Thanks for the cool module.

Sounds like an interesting idea... however I don't exactly understand how do you think to do it through a custom filter.
If you would like to propose a patch, feel free to do it.

I got the idea from searching this site for "edit compose tips"... let's see if I can find the exact words...

um... there's this

Or you can try Custom Filter module to add some dummy filter (i.e. filter that doesn't have any replacement rule but have compose tips).

but here's the one I was actually thinking about, from the lightbox2 issues:

Adding information to the compose tips page

An example and the code could be built right into the "compose tips" node page thats already built into drupal. That way any user that wants to know how to activate the light box could just copy and paste the extra link out of the tips page where you would expect that sort of information to be.

Would be useful for my users anyway.

I've implemented this and checked it into CVS - should be available in the next dev release. I've added a new lightbox2 filter tip which doesn't actually do any filtering but displays a brief statement on rel="lightbox" with a more detailed description, including example code, on the compose tips page. You will need to enable this filter for each filter format you wish to have the help text visible for.

Cheers,
Stella

So that's what I meant. Does it make sense? How should I (should I?) propose a patch based on this?

Thanks,
Rafael

Might be considered for a later version, so I'm rescheduling it.
