  • What it does

    System Tips shows short guided tips, or tours, in the ACP and on some site pages. They point out what the parts of a page are for. A tip has Continue and Close links, and Don't show me Tips turns them all off.

    ACP > Modules > Core > System Tips

  • Global Config

    Setting What it does
    Tips Delay How long to wait before a tip appears when you point at an item, in milliseconds (default 2000 = 2 seconds)

  • Turning tips off or on

    Each user decides for themselves: Show Tips in their Account Settings. Once you know your way around the ACP, you can also deactivate the System Tips module (on its Info tab) to remove the tips for everyone.

  • For developers

    A module adds tips by registering the feature in its include.php init function:

    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrTips', 'tip', 'myModule', 'tip');

    It then adds a tips.php file containing a myModule_tips() function that returns the tips for each view.
