wiki pages for the Help menu

Post by kaktus »

Hi.

refers to: https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_Help_Menu

I was recently involved in translating the wiki for the Help menu.
I have noticed that individual pages need updating.
Presented content does not coincide with the current version of FC and links from the menu point to completely different pages than described in the documentation.

Code: Select all

OS: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid (KDE/plasma)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.21.0.31556 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 4091db47397f6e537a284f50c4f572545f3f30d0
Python 3.10.8, Qt 5.15.4, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, OCC 7.6.3
Locale: Polish/Poland (pl_PL)
Installed mods:

I see that there are 2 missing pages, but which individual pages need updating? I have checked the links, I do not see any mistakes.

https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_OnlineHelp
The help system for FreeCAD is now supported by the "Help" add-on. It can be easily installed using the Add-on Manager
https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_FreeCADUserHub
Currently the command points to https://wiki.freecad.org/User_hub.
https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_FreeCADPowerUserHub
Currently the command points to https://wiki.freecad.org/Power_users_hub.
https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_FreeCADFAQ
Currently the command points to https://wiki.freecad.org/Frequently_asked_questions.
at me it starts downloading the faq file ...

For the following items, there is no wiki documentation page for the menu description:

When you click the Std_FreeCADUserHub command, which URL is opened? Here it is https://wiki.freecad.org/User_hub, which matches the Wiki text.

Code: Select all

Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.21.0.31917 (Git)
Build type: Release

I am already explaining my position:

in the content of the wiki page is given an outdated link for which a redirect is in effect.

Maybe you have an issue with browser cache?

Not confirmed at least from Italy, but your mileage may vary.

https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_Help_Menu

Help is pointing to https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_OnlineHelp

In Std_OnlineHelp:

link to AddOn manager link is correctly pointing to https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_AddonMgr.

All other things seems to be correctly linked.

Browser cache could be a problem, or maybe some DDOs attack done recently from hackers could have created some problems and blocked direct acess to the net and internet provider has used some cached content to make resemble that always is working as expected.


I can't check the Help system as I have installed the offline help.

Tested today.

Thanks for the image, I now understand.
The Std_FreeCADUserHub command (for example) should not open its own documentation page, it should open the User_hub page. The page names are related, and that seems to have confused you.

You are definitely right. :idea:

The coincidence of names and my lack of sufficient attention and pseudo problem ready.

That is, two points fall away and you don't have to do anything with them.
