Hello everyone, I was asked by my client to build a page / popup where the admin can write some usage instructions for the application and the users can read this instructions. It doesn't need to be sophisticated it can be just a HTML field which is then represented to the end user as html. Before I decide to build this myself, I was wondering if there is already a plugin for this .

Anyone?

No plugin... but it should just take 5 minutes with a basic filament action saving a value to the database? Or use the Laravel Setting plugin and just saving the value.

Good idea. How should I show it to the users? Can I make a menu item that just shows an empty page with the formatted html text?

Yep exactly, simple custom page. Or an action rendering a view field

I managed to get it working:

protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Action::make('manual')
                ->label('Handleiding')
                ->modalHeading('Handleiding')
                ->modalSubmitAction(false)
                ->modalCancelAction(false)
                ->modalWidth()

                ->modalContent(fn (GeneralSettings $settings): View => view(
                    'filament.pages.dashboard-manual',
                    ['manual' => $settings?->manual])
                )
        ];
    }

protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Action::make('manual')
                ->label('Handleiding')
                ->modalHeading('Handleiding')
                ->modalSubmitAction(false)
                ->modalCancelAction(false)
                ->modalWidth()

                ->modalContent(fn (GeneralSettings $settings): View => view(
                    'filament.pages.dashboard-manual',
                    ['manual' => $settings?->manual])
                )
        ];
    }

In my view I have

<div>
    {!! $manual !!}
</div>

<div>
    {!! $manual !!}
</div>

How can I get nice html styling?
