As I'm currently upgrading my own block from 1.9 to 2.0 I have come across what looks like a bug in the way the online help is displayed in Moodle 2.0. Here are my findings.
- In the "standard" blocks in moodle 1.9 the only block to have (one) help button is glossary_random. Help for How a new entry is chosen.
- In Moodle 2.0 that Help button has disappeared.
- In Moodle 2.0 it is possible to place a $mform->addHelpButton() button in a block's edit_form.php script.
- However, when that button is clicked, instead of displaying the Moodle 2.0 new Help pop-up window, the help text is displayed in the current window. I expect that is a bug, and developers have "forgotten" the possibility to have Help buttons in blocks.
Can block maintainers/developers confirm my findings and maybe suggest a fix before I post this in the bug tracker?
Am I the only one to need Help buttons in my block?
Thanks,
Joseph
