Drupal Features module for providing site specific help and maintenance information. When used with the Content Access module, this help content type allows the site administrator to use permissions to select who can view and edit the help pages. This is designed to keep the help information available only to selected roles and away from search bots.

Configuration for Stanford Help

After installing and enabling the Stanford Help feature, install and enable the Content Access module (https://www.drupal.org/project/content_access). Then navigate to admin/structure/types/manage/stanford_help_page/access, and select your desired access control settings.

Current implementation of Stanford Help is intended to be a singular page with access limited by content-access.

Steps to install:

Unless the site help is installed with the product, an administrator will need to configure the help section.

1. Install / Enable stanford_help module.
2. Create new Help page. For consistency it is recommended to create the page with the following path: https://<site url>/site-help
3. Verify that the Content Access module is enabled
4. Set permissions to Stanford Help content type. See table below.
5. Add a block to the top of the admin/stanford-jumpstart page with the following content: Documentation specific to your site can be found at the following URL: https://<site url>/site-help
