Denne utvidelsen **har ikke blitt testet mot noen av de siste 3 hovedutgivelsene
av WordPress**. Den er kanskje ikke lenger holdt vedlike eller støttet, og den kan
ha kompatibilitetsproblemer med nyeste versjoner av WordPress.

## Beskrivelse

This plugin will allow creation of admin help tabs (and associated sidebars) on 
any screen in the WordPress admin area. It creates a custom post type called Help
Tabs to store information. You need to add the following info to make it work:

 1. Title – The title of your tab
 2. Main content area
 3. Screen – What page/screen it should appear on
 4. Type – Help tab or tab sidebar

HELP TAB EXAMPLE:
 Let’s say I want to add a help tab on the main Help Tabs listing
page that says something about my plugin. I would use:

 1. «My Main Tab»
 2. «This is a main tab with my own info on it!»
 3. «edit-sbah_helptab»
 4. Select «Tab» (the default)

HELP SIDEBAR EXAMPLE:
 Let’s say I want to add a help sidebar (these are the areas
to the right with extra info and links) on the main Help Tabs listing page. I would
use:

 1. «My Sidebar»
 2. «This is a sidebar!»
 3. «edit-sbah_helptab»
 4. Select «Sidebar»

IMPORTANT NOTE: While there can be multiple tabs per page, there can be only ONE
sidebar per page. If you add others to the same page, only the first one found will
show.

NOTE: I also have a plugin that does Admin Pointers (those blue info boxes), if 
you are interested in that one you can find it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/
better-admin-pointers/

This plugin leverages the great work done by others here:

## Installasjon

It is always a good idea to make a backup of your database before installing any
plugin.

There are 3 ways to install this plugin:

 1. Search for it in your WordPress Admin (Plugins/Add New/Search) area and install
    from there
 2. Download the zip file from https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-admin-help-tabs/
    and then go to Plugins/Add New/Upload and then upload and activate it.
 3. Upload the folder «better-admin-help-tabs» to «/wp-content/plugins/», then activate
    the plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

  Q: How can I find the screen/page id name to use?

A: This can be easily deduced from looking at the URL in the admin. For regular 
posts, it would just be «post». For a custom post type, it would be the name of 
that custom post type (my-custom-post-type). For other pages (like my plugin editor
example), it usually works to just remove the «.php» from the end of the url (i.
e. «plugin-editor.php» becomes «plugin-editor»).

  Q: Is there some handy reference somewhere for the main admin screen ids?

A: You are in luck: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Admin_Screen_Reference](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Admin_Screen_Reference)

  Q: I’m the lazy type, is there some tool to help me identify admin screens?

A: You are in even greater luck. I just added an option to show you what screen 
you are on anywhere in the admin. Go to BAH Options page and check the box for «
Show Current Screen». A small header on every page will identify your admin screen.

  Q: If I have more than one tab on a page, how can I order them?

A: Like the blog, they are in reverse cron order. So you can just change the dates
of the ones you want to be on the top to the latest. If there is enough interest
I may add an order field in a future version.

  Q: Can I put the same tab on multiple pages?

A: As of version 1.1, yes. Separate your page(screen) names with either a comma 
or a space.

Hi! Thanks for the plugin. But I found a little problem, in better-admin-help-tabs.
php line 234 you can find: $qargs = array( 'post_type' => 'sbah_helptab', 'posts_per_page'
=> '-1', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => '_sbah_screen_text', 'value' => 
$idofscreen, 'compare' => 'like', // <= the problem ) ) ); so edit-{post_type} and{
post_type} are showing the same tabs $qargs = array( 'post_type' => 'sbah_helptab','
posts_per_page' => '-1', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => '_sbah_screen_text','
value' => $idofscreen, 'compare' => '=', // <= 🙂 ) ) ); English is not my mother
tongue; please excuse any errors on my part.
