Description

The 'Help text' field in admin/node/type/N and the 'admin/settings/content-types/flexinode-1' in admin/settings/content-types/flexinode-N are overlapping functionality.

For clarity, the latter should be removed (or it should mirror the text of admin/node/type/N).

Subtasks:

  • remove help text box from 'create/edit content-type' pages
  • database update:
    • move data from {flexinode_type}.help to variables named 'flexinode-N_help' for each flexinode type
    • alter the {flexinode_type} table

I would prefer to remove that field alltogether. This is a rather large task, because it needs database changes and an upgrade path (so that people don't loose the help texts when upgrading).

Something like the attached patch should do it, though I have not yet tested the update script (I only have production sites at the moment ;-)
