Description

Right now we have two places in the BE for a user to show the Help of backend fields:
  • In the User => Setup module
    - Activate CSH Help - options: "None", "Help Icon", "Full Description"
    - This help activated the help for all Backend fields.
  • In alt_doc.php, you can activate a checkbox on the bottom
    - This help shows all field descriptions for the TCEforms and is only visible if the CSH help is not set to "Full Description".

I propose to remove the alt_doc.php option (#2). Of course this will reduce some functionality, but I think we can do this change because only a few people use this feature anyway. And if these people really need guidance in the Backend, they should use the User => Setup feature to display all help.

I think: The user has too many options to set this feature. usually people only use it once. If the 5% of the users who use it know that it's in the User => Setup, they will use that module more often, which is good IMHO.

The attached patch removes the checkbox and changes to places in alt_doc.php to use the status from the BE_user.
