Hi Andy

I was looking for incorrect links and screenshots in the Site Menu Help Screens.

I will report it for each help screen:

1. Template Manager [ Site ] - Assign **NEW**

- Incorrect link => Template Manager [ Site ]

2. Template Manager [ Administrator ] ** NEW**

- Incorrect link => Template Manager [ Site]

- Wrong screenshot

- Another link issue: The "Assign" Related Information Link => There is no assign feature for Admin Templates.

3. Template Manager CSS Editor **NEW**

- Incorrect links => Template HTML Editor,  Template Manager [ Site], Template Manager [ Administrator]

- Wrong screenshot

- Another link issue: The "Assign" Related Information Link => The title must be "Site Template - Assign"

4. Template Manager HTML Editor **NEW**

- Incorrect links => Template Manager [ Site] , Template Manager [ Administrator]

- Wrong screenshot

- Another link issue: The "Assign" Related Information Link => The title must be "Site Template - Assign"

- A minor image issue: The 1.0.12 icon is aligned to the right.

5. Module Positions **NEW**

- Incorrect links => Template HTML Editor, Template Manager [ Site], Template Manager [ Administrator]

- Another link issue: The "Assign" Related Information Link => The title must be "Site Template - Assign"

6. User Manager **NEW** 

- A minor image issue: The 1.0.12 icon is aligned to the right.

7. User Manager [ User : Edit ] **NEW**

- Incorrect link => Contact Manager (twice over)

8. User Manager [ User : Add ] **NEW**

- Incorrect link => Contact Manager (twice over)

------
There is another minor issue with the image size (it's too big ???) for "PDF", "Print" and "Email" icons on "Global Configuration **NEW** (Content Tab)" Help Screen.

I will continue the review.

Regards
Leandro

=> PS (Edited): There is a problem with the User Documentation Forum into the Documentation Work Group Forum. The latest post doesn't appear on the index board.

Hi Leandro,

JCE strikes again! >:(I am going to raise a ticket with regard to the updating error that is blighting this work.

Any way items 1- 8 above all fixed. However, not sure what you meant by wrong screenshots as these all appear correct as far as i can see.

Thanks

Andy

Could be the JCE's links & popups editor. I've had the same problem sometime.

I found those issues on IE 7 (not on FF 2.0  :)). The screenshot links are not valid. They show a blank page (I have tried once again by cleaning the browser cache, but the problem remains).

***** Manual signatures are NOT allowed *****____

Another two minor issues about screenshots (sorry if i am overmeticulous):

1. For the "Menu :: Item [menutype]" Help Screens there is no uniformity with regard to "Add" an "Edit" screenshots creation:

- Some Help Sreeens have both "Add" and "Edit" screenshots => Menu Item :: Link - Content Item **NEW** , Menu Item :: Link - Static Content **NEW** , Menu Item: List - Content Section **NEW** , Menu Item :: Link - News Feed **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - Contact Category **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - Content Category **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - News Feed Category **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - Web Link Category **NEW**

- Other Help Screens have "Edit" screenshots only => Menu Item : Component [ Web Links ] **NEW** , Menu Item: Component [ Contacts ] **NEW** , Menu Item :: Component [ Search ] **NEW** , Menu Item :: Component [ News Feeds] **NEW** , Menu Item :: Component [ Polls ] **NEW** , Menu Item :: Component [ Login ] **NEW** , Menu Item :: Component [ Front Page ] **NEW** , Menu Item :: Wrapper **NEW** , Menu Item : Blog - Content Category Archive **NEW** , Menu Item: Link - Component Item **NEW**

- Other Help Screens have "Add" Screenshots only => Menu Item :: Blog - Content Category **NEW** , Menu Item: Blog - Content Section **NEW** , Menu Item: Link - Contact Item **NEW** , Menu Item :: Link - URL **NEW**

2. For some "Edit" (Menu Item) Screenshots you can see the text "Menu item saved" behind the screen title. See:

Menu Item :: Link - Content Item **NEW** , Menu Item :: Link - Static Content **NEW** , Menu Item :: Link - News Feed **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - Contact Category **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - Content Category **NEW** , Menu Item: Link - Component Item **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - News Feed Category **NEW** , Menu Item :: Table - Web Link Category **NEW**

Nothing else.
I will continue by reviewing the rest of Menus.

Regards
Leandro

Hi Leandro,

All completed.

Last two points I wondered about this but to be honest didn't really see any additional value to it some I did just because I was there sort of thing. Not ideal but I can live with it ;)

Thanks once again

Not at all, Andy.

I was viewing some screens again. I notice an error has remained on them :(.

You can see the link "Section" (overlooked) on some help screens:

- Menu Manager [ mainmenu ] **NEW**
- Menu Manager [ usermenu ] **NEW**
- Menu Manager [ othermenu ] **NEW**
- Menu Manager [ topmenu ] **NEW**
- Menu Manager [ menuname ] - Edit Menu Item **NEW**
- Menu Manager [ menuname ] - Copy Menu Items **NEW**
- Menu Manager [ menuname ] - Move Menu Items **NEW**

I will report you the next Menus soon.

Regards
Leandro

I have finished the Components Menu Help Screens review:

1. Components - What are they? **NEW**

- A minor image issue => The 1.0.12 version image is aligned to the right.

- A link issue => Rename "Menu Item: Component" to "Menu Item: Component [Contacts]" (see Related Information)

7. Contact Manager **NEW** 

- A minor imageissue => The 1.0.12 version image is aligned to the right.

- Incorrect links => Contact: Edit , Contact: New screen (see Toolbar description)

- Another link issue => Rename "Menu Item: Component" to "Menu Item: Component [Contacts]" (see Related Information)

8. Contact Manager: New / Edit **NEW**  

- A minor image issue => The 1.0.12 version image is aligned to the right.

- A link issue => Rename "Menu Item: Component" to "Menu Item: Component [Contacts]" (see Related Information)

9. Contact Category Manager **NEW**

- Incorrect links => Contact Category: Edit , Contact Category: New (see Toolbar description)

- Split link => Contact Category: New or Edit (see Related Information)

- Another link issue => Rename "Menu Item: Component" to "Menu Item: Component [Contacts]" (see Related Information)

10. Contact Category: New or Edit **NEW**

- Split link => Table - Contact Category (see Link to Menu description)

- Another link issue => Rename "Menu Item: Component" to "Menu Item: Component [Contacts]" (see Related Information)

11. News Feeds - What are they? **NEW**

- A minor issue => Check the title of News Feed: New or Edit[ newsfeed_name ] & Category: New or Edit [ News Feeds: category_name (see Related Information)

12. News Feed Manager **NEW**

- Incorrect links => News Feed: Edit , News Feed: New (see Toolbar description) Note: Check the space between characters too.

- A minor issue => Check the title of News Feed: New or Edit[ newsfeed_name ] & Category: New or Edit [ News Feeds: category_name (see Related Information)

- A minor issue => Check the title of Category: New or Edit [ News Feeds: category_name (see Related Information)

15. News Feed Category Manager **NEW**

- Unnecessary link => News Feed Category: New or Edit (You could change it for News Feed Category Manager)

***** Manual signatures are NOT allowed *****

I have noticed other matters with regard to consistency usage too:

1. Titles of "[Components] Category Manager" have been written in several ways:

- "Category Manager: [ Component: Contact ]" vs "Contact Category Manager".
- "Category: New or Edit [ Contact: category_name ]" vs "Contact Category: New or Edit "

- "Category Manager [ Component: News Feeds ] vs News Feed Category Manager **NEW**
- "Category: New or Edit [ News Feeds: category_name ] vs "News Feed Category: New or Edit"

- Whereas for "Web link Component" only has been used "Web Link Category Manager" & "Web Link Category: New or Edit" .

2. There is no consistency for "Menu Item :: [menu_name]" titles too. For example, you have written:

- A case: "Menu Item: Table - Web Link Category"
- Another: "Add / Edit Menu Item :: Component [ Polls]" => This must be "Menu Item :: Component [ Polls]".

=> I can do a list with those cases if you agree.

Hi Andy,

I have been reviewing the help screens at the back-end  ;) and i have done a table which summarizes the relationship between help screens and key references, and it reports the current problems (there are some link errors and other issues).

I would like to send you the document by e-mail.
Please contact me by pm.

All of these have been updated.
There are no "Display Screenshots" for: Admin Module: Edit [ System Message ] , Admin Module: Edit [ Pathway ] , Admin Module: Edit [ Toolbar ] , Admin Module: Edit [ Full Menu ]
System Message is just the icon - included in text.
Pathway - due to variation did not consider appropriate to include.
Full Menu - this was done but not uploaded for some reason ??? ???

I have to repeat that most of the link errors are simply because of this damned JCE "updating" issue, and the way it handles code such as the split links issue you have raised a number of times. I like its convenience but that has been negated by the duplication of effort that all this has required.

Thanks

- Incorrect link => *http://extensions.joomla.org* (=> It links to the Forge)

- Perhaps an error => *http://developers.joomla.org* (Do you refer to the Dev Site or to the Forge? => See the text)
Thanks a lot

No you are not being deadly dull, but I am really getting p******* off with the JCE editor.

I have replaced the links on these from scratch.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

First of all, I have finished the link/image review for the rest of Help Screens.

I found these issues:

A) MAMBOTS MENU HELP SCREENS

You must review the Mambot's Help Screen titles for consistency.

1. Mambots - What are they? **NEW** 

- Incorrect link => Edit [ Code Support ] (see Related Information)

2. Mambot Manager [Site] ** NEW**

- Incorrect link => Site Mambot: New screen (see Toolbar description)

- Incorrect link => Edit [ Code Support ] (see Related Information)

- Unnecessary link =>  Mambot Manager [ Site ]  (see Related Information)

3. Site Mambots: New or Edit **NEW**

- Incorrect link => Edit [ Code Support ] (see Related Information)

- Unnecessary link =>  Site Mambot: New  (see Related Information)

4. I found the same issues for all "Site Mambot: Edit [ Mambot Type ]" Help Screens.

- Incorrect link => Edit [ Code Support ] (see Related Information)

- Unnecesary link => For example, "Edit [ MOS Image ]" related information link into "Edit [ MOS Image ]" Help Screen (the same for the rest).

++++++

B) INSTALLERS MENU HELP SCREENS

1. Install new Template [ Administrator ] **NEW** 

- Incorrect link => Template Manager [ Administrator ] (see "The Success..." description)

- A minor issue => Perhaps unnecessary links: Site Template - Assign & Template Chooser

2. Install new Language - Site ** NEW**

- Incorrect link => Language Manager (see "The Success..." description)

- Incorrect links => Language Manager , Languages Forum (see Related Information)

3. Install New Modules and Manage Installed Modules **NEW**

- Incorrect link => Install New Components (see Related Information)

4. Install New Mambots and Manage Installed Mambots **NEW** 

- Incorrect links => Install New Components , Install New Modules (see Related Information)

++++++

C) MESSAGES MENU HELP SCREENS

You must split the content for "New Private Message". As i have mentioned on Back-end reviewing document, there is a Help Button into the Core Screen (for New Message) but now there is no Help Screen.

++++++

D) SYSTEM MENU HELP SCREENS

1. System Information **NEW**

- Wrong screenshot => Information Tab (on IE 7)

- Wrong screenshot => Permissions Tab (on IE 7)

2. Global Check-in **NEW**

- A minor issue => The 1.0.12 version icon is aligned to the right.

++++++

E) HELP MENU HELP SCREENS

- Wrong screenshot => Help Screen 1.0.12

- Perhaps a link error => Check the "Joomla! Developer Portal" link => It links to the forge (see it at "Menu Bar description" and "Related Information).

- A minor issue => Clean the colon for each Related Information link.

++++++

Moreover, with regard to the Back-end review (the doc i have sent you), there is an error for "Check Version" comment. Now, i see this help screen actually exists, nevertheless there is no HTML file into \help folder for it.

Regards
Leandro

Hi Leandro,

All completed and a few other bits found along the way.
C) MESSAGES MENU HELP SCREENS

You must split the content for "New Private Message". As i have mentioned on Back-end reviewing document, there is a Help Button into the Core Screen (for New Message) but now there is no Help Screen.
The link in the core files appears to have been changed/corrupted. There is little that can be done about it now. The key ref on the doc is correct as it is in the HTML file - it seems to be another occurrence of the issue spotted with other items. There was originally just the one screen and this continues to be the case.
Moreover, with regard to the Back-end review (the doc i have sent you), there is an error for "Check Version" comment. Now, i see this help screen actually exists, nevertheless there is no HTML file into \help folder for it.
Yep it has just been missed in the turmoil of getting it ready back in December - hopefully it will be easily rectified with the Help Patch file.

Thanks

Andy

Andy,

Let me do a suggestion,

The key reference for "Messages Inbox" Help Screen is "screen.messages.inbox".
There is a key reference for "New Private Message" Core Screen labeled as "screen.messages.edit".

A possible solution would be to create a new Help Screen named "New Private Message" at Help Site which would include that key reference (screen.messages.edit). In this way we have a individual Help Screen for this Core Screen too.

Hi

There are two screens associated with messages 1 is inbox 2 is configuration. Creating another document with a new key reference is not going to make the button on the Messages Toolbar work.

The Help panel from the Control Panel includes the Inbox screen and it works fine. That is my main concern.

There are three screens and three help buttons associated with messages actually (1 is "inbox", 2 is "configuration" and 3 is "inbox=>new message") and there are three key references (1 is "screen.messages.inbox", 2 is "screen.messages.conf" and 3 is "screen.messages.edit"). So i said the issue could be solved by creating a new Help Screen at Help Site for the third.

Well if you would "actually"  like to show me where there is a third help button on these screens I will gladly look at it again but the toolbars I have and that are displayed only show there to be two.

Hi Andy,

This is the help screen:

The help button includes "screen.messages.edit" key reference.

Don't worry.  I see that you have created the new Help Screen.

All is OK now. Thanks very much.

Hi Andy,

Whenever you can address, there are some pending issues (i reported them on my review as "Incorrect help screen, key reference or link", highlighted in red color).

These are:

1. "User Manager" help screen at Help site, you must retype the key reference to "screen.users" (now the key reference is "screen.users.edit").

2. "User Manager [ User : Edit ]" help screen at Help site, you must retype the key reference to "screen.users.edit" (now the key reference is "screen.users.edit2").

3. "Menu Manager [ mainmenu ]" help screen. We have mentioned it above (the help button links to "Menu Item: Link - Content Item"). You said the key reference (screen.menus) is placed into the correct Help Screen. Perhaps it can be duplicated (see "Menu Item: Link - Content Item" at Help Site).

4. "Site Mambots: New / Edit" help screen. This could be a similar issue (the help button links to "Site Mambot: MOS Image"). If the key reference (screen.mambots.edit) is placed into the correct Help Screen, you can check if it is duplicated (see "Site Mambot: MOS Image" at Help Site).

Note: Solution you have adopted for "Template Manager [Site]" Help Screen (the strategy redirecting to the correct screen) could be applied to another cases (see the review for issues highlighted in orange color) => Perhaps you are already doing it ;).

Regards
Leandro
