ProcessHelpVideos Module

A Process module to display help videos for the ProcessWire CMS. It can be used to make help videos (screencasts) available to content editors.

• This module adds a 'Help Video" section to the ProcessWire backend. The help videos are accessible through an automatically created page in the Admin page tree.
• You can add your help videos as pages in the page tree.
• The module adds a hidden page to the page tree that acts as parent page for the help video pages.
• 
• All necessary fields and templates will be installed automatically.
• If there are already a CKEditor field and/or a file field for mp4 files installed in the system, the module will use those. Otherwise it will create the necessary fields.
• Also the necessary templates for the parent help videos page and it's children are created on module install.
• The module installs a permission process-helpvideos. Every user role that should have access to the help video section, needs this permission.
