[PATCH] webinterface: Add links to the configuration wiki

[Leo-Andres Hofmann <hofmann@leo-andres.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3854 bytes --]

This patch adds a little "help" icon to the page header.
If a manual entry exists for a configuration page, the icon
appears and offers a quick way to access the wiki.
Wiki pages can be configured in the "manualpages" file.

Hi all,

This patch is not yet complete, but I would like to present the idea.
What do you think, would this get more people to read the wiki?

To test this, move the new file "manualpages" to /var/ipfire/main/ and CTRL+F5 reload the webif to refresh the CSS cache.

Still -to do- and where I could use some help:
Add "manualpages" file to the updater/installer - how, and should this file be read-only?
Collect and match all wiki pages to the CGIs.

Kind regards
Leo
