How to Create a Help Controller in Bonfire

This is just a simple gist showing how to create new Contexts inside the admin center of Bonfire, hopefully it will help someone out.

I found it quite useful when I wrote it

help.php

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Help extends Admin_Controller

	public function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();

		Template::set('toolbar_title', 'Content');
		Template::set_block('sidebar', 'articles/content/sidebar');

		$this->auth->restrict('Site.Content.View');
	}//end __construct()

	/**

	public function index()
	{
		Template::set_view('admin/help/index');
		Template::set_block('sidebar', 'articles/content/sidebar');
		Template::render('two_left');
	}//end index()

	//--------------------------------------------------------------------


}//end class

index.php

<?php
//@TODO: Find a better way to get the stupid display name!
if (isset($current_user))
{
	//$display_name = (isset($current_user->display_name)) ? $current_user->display_name : $current_user->user_name;

	$display_name = $current_user->email;

	if ((isset($current_user->display_name)) && ! (empty($current_user->display_name)))
	{
		$display_name = $current_user->display_name;
	}

	if ((isset($current_user->username)) && ( ! empty($current_user->username)))
	{
		//$display_name = $current_user->display_name;
		$display_name = $current_user->username;
	}

}

?>
<h2>Welcome <?php echo ucwords($display_name); ?> you have logged in.</h2>
