Ok, the company I work for has got a bunch of help files from a legacy application that have to appear to reside in /help on their site (the help file locations are hardcoded into an application of theirs - joy!). As such we've used .htaccess rules to relocate all requests to files within /help to the folder where they are now kept.

I'm sure you can see where this is going. I now cannot access advanced help files, as they get forwarded to our other help folder. Is it possible to change the alias given to the location of help files within the advanced help module? I have had a look through the .module file but not had any luck so far.

Any help much appreciated.

This is currently not changeable, but it shouldn't be too hard to make it configurable and use a variable_get() to figure out what the patch should be. Understandably irksome. Will consider patches, probably won't have time to achieve this myself.

Fair enough. I can live with just looking at the modules html help files individually by looking through the module folder directory. Thanks for the reply!

Could be a feature. But I don't think we will consider adding any to 6.x at this point so moving to 7.x.

Five year has gone by without resolution. Time to close.

The use case seems to be one company only. They should fix it themselves with a custom patch. No point in adding this for all users of the module.
