Thread: techdocs beta testing
A quick run over the new techdocs site shows: <404 errors> * http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.3 "A Visual Basic utility to convert Dbase III, IV, and V" -> http://www.postgresql.org/source/migration.zip * http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.26 The reference to the "authors website" is wrong (404) * http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.3 While calling the following links: -"Porting Horror Story" -> http://www.frankhilliard.com/horrorstory.cfm the connection timed out with no success at all. -"PostgreSQL and Microsoft Access" -> http://www.scw.org/pgaccess/ which (404) <Weird behaviours> * http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.3 - Directory listing instead of documentation, tho it's not clear or maybe needs a review: Conversion tool for migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL by PostgreSQL Inc. - Oracle Section While calling: orapgsqlviews project at gborg (http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/orapgsqlviews/projdisplay.php) there gborg site reports that something went wrong, no project was specified or an invalid project was specified. <Missing tags or work to be done> - <a name> tags missing in: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.25 Tried to correct this, but the html editor complains when I hit the save button. the idea is to add the .... <a name=one> <a name=two> <a name=three> <a name=four> .... tags to the objects therefore named in the content. <add ons> - added wikipedia as a technical reference in: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.2 Wikipedia related article: Related articles, comunity managed.

note that I would take out those broken links from the docs, but the save && preview method didn't work, or got me confused, so I will wait to understand how it works (or if Robert's mail bout diff is related with this).

I am wondering if we ought to not have the preview button if the page hasnt been saved, since it is a little confusing. Another issue is I have seen a couple of people try to modify links to point to /community/techdocs.2112 or whatever instead of /docs/techdocs.2112 Is there something leading people to think the former is the proper link rather than the latter? Also a bug that I think exists is that after accepting Guido's changes to http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.3 his name is not in the history, but mine is instead. His name did show up in the admin interface though, to which i clicked edit and then made a few changes before accepting. istm his name should be in the history, but it isnt. thanks so much for the feedback so far! -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

No. That was not intentional, so please go ahead and fix :-) > > I will walk again through the site, and try to spot other issues. > > A formal QA document will be posted then to this list. > > > > Would be great to understand why after saving some modifications I > > wasn't allowed to get the preview.

Would make sense to remove it,yeah. > Another issue is I have seen a couple of people try to modify > links to point > to /community/techdocs.2112 or whatever instead of > /docs/techdocs.2112 Is > there something leading people to think the former is the > proper link rather > than the latter? The editpage lives in /community/docedit.2112 (on wwwmaster) > Also a bug that I think exists is that after accepting > Guido's changes to > http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.3 his name is > not in the > history, but mine is instead.

Yes, I beleive the problem is that we "cut off" the first name in the list. When the next person updates the page, Guido will suddenly show up :) //Magnus
