Redesign Help Command (Remove Branding & Enhance UX)

[TurboRx]

Hi,

I’d like to request a complete cleanup of all branding elements like bot promotional links and GitHub references in the visible output. This adjustment will enhance privacy and make the bot much more suitable for personalized, self-hosted, or internal use cases.

Specifically, the current help command prominently displays a GitHub help wiki link. It would be better to redesign the help command to deliver an experience similar to PartBot but with a more visually appealing and detailed design.

The ideal implementation would use modern formatting to provide a command guide showing:

• Descriptions
• Syntax
• Permissions
• Aliases

Removing these elements and providing a customizable, branding-free help interface would allow users to properly tailor the bot for their own environments. I recommend providing a modular, improved help system that focuses entirely on detailed command information.

currently i think it has two promotional references first one in help commad and another in version command.

We already discussed the help command in another issue: #34. As a result, the commands-guide add-on was added.

You can override the version command with an add-on. Example:

// Override version

'use strict';

exports.setup = function (App) {
	return Tools('add-on').forApp(App).install({
		commandsOverwrite: true,
		commands: {
			version: function () {
				return this.restrictReply("The version command is not available", "info");
			},
		},
	});
};

The only thing currently not possible without forking the project is to change the footer of the control panel. I'll add a custom HTML option for that.

Yeah but the output of help command like this should be better.

You can add a similar feature with the Commands Guide add-on.

It looks like this:

You can also use help on a specific command:

I think it may be interesting to refactor this add-on into a module, so it comes with the bot by default. I'll add that to my to-do list. For now you can install the add-on. Let me know if it works properly or it has any issues.

@AgustinSRG are you still working on it?

This is in my to-do list, but with very low priority. I'll probably do it in some months if I get some ideas to improve it.

The feature is already implemented as an add-on anyway, so the refactor into a module is a very low priority task.
