Documentation deadlinks

[troublestarter]

Hi

I think there is some deadlink in the documentation

For exemple : on the main page: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasjacquin/allsky/master/html/documentation/index.html

When you click on installing or configuring

You arrive on such page:

Can you confirm me it should not do that so i will reference below all deadlink.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting it. I fixed the Wiki page on GitHub which still pointed to the old GitHub page which no longer exists and caused all the links to still point there.

I'll leave this Issue open for a while in case you find more dead links. FYI, we are considering getting rid of the Wiki so users would only be able to view the documentation via the "Allsky Documentation" link in the WebUI, so please use that when reviewing the documentation. Thanks.

So if i understand clearly, you want the users to be able to use "Allsky Documentation" link in the local WebUI from the Pi ?

But note that also: On the main url : https://github.com/AllskyTeam/allsky The link to the documentation point to the old documentation with deadlinks ;) so should be linked to this one : https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/AllskyTeam/allsky/master/html/documentation/index.html instead

So from here, INSTALLING and CONFIGURING always deadlinks for exemple.

• On the local documentation from webui, i have a 404 error on this page: http://192.168.0.155/documentation/settings/allskyWebsite.html

• We should have the public url here because 404 error

• We have no link on this one here:

@troublestarter, Users can currently view the documentation via the "Allsky Documentation" link in the WebUI which is on the Pi, which means it is local. They can see the same documentation via the Wiki link in GitHub. It's the GitHub documentation we are considering getting rid of.

I will take a look at the dead links.

- Other page

@troublestarter, The link in your last post doesn't work. I do this all the time, too. A valid link in GitHub is

[click here](https://github.com/AllskyTeam/allsky/discussions/3489)

unfortunately, clicking on the chain link icon often does what it did for you:

I think it works if you stand on your left foot and chant something LOL

[EricClaeys]

I believe all the dead links are fixed in the next release, so I'm closing this Issue.

Perfect
