Add instructions on loading photos

I need to add some text in profile/photos page which list the users albums to say "Click on album to add or manage photos"

It isn't obvious to the novice user.

I cant find how to change the text for the heading, where I could add this instruction or are there any other options?

Could change the language string "bx_photos".  Looks like it doesn't affect the other main strings (not positive). Go to your admin panel, Settings->Languages Settings and search for bx_photos.  Add your simple instruction on the end.

No, it is not at all clear to users.   It took me a while to figure out, and I use this stuff all the time.

There's a help module addon that allows you to add per-url popup help window for things like this, if you feel like spending $30.

I think it's worth it.  It puts a help button on the page where the user needs it, and the help is specific to the page.  The user has the help right there, instead of having to search through some FAQ system to find the appropriate help.

Thanks for your suggestions. I was searching for just "photos" and came up with 190 results and couldn't find the title amongst  them. Searching for  "bx_photos" still came up with 150 results but the right one was second on the list!! Awesome.

This searching thing is difficult. How do you tell which is the right string to use? How can you refine the search?

I even managed to put some inline css in the heading (very proud of myself!!)

<div>Photos <class="dbTitle" style= "text-transform:none; font-size:10px; color:#5E9C0A;"> - click on album to add & manage photos</div>

 Hey Houstonlively,

Do you have this mod and if so do you know if Esase addressed for the popup to not automatically open upon page load? Thanks.

Yes I have the mod.  I made a few changes to it myself, and one of them was so that the window only pops up only when the help tab is clicked, because I thought the default behavior was extremely annoying.  I have no idea if esase changed anything since I downloaded the mod... I haven't checked.

 Was the js change tough and would you mind letting me know where the edit is to do the same. Yes auto popping up all the time would get old real quick for any sites users I think.

You need to ask esase.  I wouldn't be able to do this without posting a portion of esase's code, which I can't do.  Sorry.

 I understand. When I get it I will check out the js files and look for the "upon pageload" code and get in touch with esase if I have probs. Thanks. At least I know it can be done.

Yes, it can be done;  http://houstonlively.com/join/?skin=rox (Click on 'Help' on the right side of screen.)

 

I haven't had time to add my entire help system.  I plan on doing some screen capture videos and upload them to vimeo, and include those in the popup.  There's a lot of things you can do with the mod from ESASE.
