Perpetual issue for old/dead links

Open gtjoseph opened this issue 1 year ago • 51 comments

If you find a link to the old wiki.asterisk.org website that just takes you to the new documentation site homepage instead of real content, add it here and we'll try to set up a redirect that takes you to the relevant content instead.

Please include the stale link and, if you found the real content on the new website, that link as well.

https://docs.asterisk.org/Configuration/Dialplan/Special-Dialplan-Extensions/ page has EXCEPTION link with URL https://docs.asterisk.org/latest_api/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Functions/EXCEPTION but I bet it must be https://docs.asterisk.org/Latest_API/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Functions/EXCEPTION (manually detected).

latest_api -> Latest_API. Maybe worth to find others like that (just in case).

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Migrating+from+chan_sip+to+res_pjsip (shouldn't be needed after Asterisk v21, but still good to have)

I couldn't find this content on the new site

2br-2b avatar Mar 27 '24 17:03 2br-2b

It's here: https://docs.asterisk.org/Configuration/Channel-Drivers/SIP/Configuring-res_pjsip/Migrating-from-chan_sip-to-res_pjsip/

The fix for the Latest_API thing is on its way up.

Hello, I couldn't find the documentation for Dialplan SendFax and Dialplan RecieveFax

https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/SendFax https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/ReceiveFax

Hello, I couldn't find the documentation for Dialplan SendFax and Dialplan RecieveFax

https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/SendFax https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/ReceiveFax

Expected links: https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/SendFAX https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/ReceiveFAX

Looks like this is a common issue across the docs (case does not match).

Btw, I bet it would be better to mention where is the starting point for your links @Starvingg , as I had no issues to locate working ones but yours - have no idea where did you come from.

oduserdnov avatar Mar 31 '24 16:03 oduserdnov

Hey @oduserdnov below is my starting point (At the end of the document) https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_16_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Functions/FAXOPT/

I tried searching as well but wasn't confident the ReceiveFax and SendFax I found was related to Dialplan.

Starvingg avatar Mar 31 '24 17:03 Starvingg

Ah. Those need to be fixed in the res_fax module itself. I'll get a fix pushed up.

gtjoseph avatar Apr 01 '24 12:04 gtjoseph

The case mismatches for dialplan applications and functions should be fixed in all branches now. I had forgotten to do the 16 branch the other day but it's fixed there now as well.

That was moved to https://sangomakb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Phones/pages/21299305/Sangoma+D-Series+Phones as it is Sangoma commercial product documentation, and not part of Asterisk or open source.

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Configuring+res_pjsip (along with the sip link I mentioned earlier) are both referenced in the deprecation notice printed by Asterisk

Hey all! Found a redirect issue for the Hangup Handlers documentation.

Link I was looking for: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Hangup+Handlers

Link that it was redirected to: https://docs.asterisk.org/Hangup+Handlers

Actual location of information: https://docs.asterisk.org/Configuration/Dialplan/Subroutines/Hangup-Handlers/

@2br-2b I thought we squashed all of those. Which branch are you seeing the message in and for which module?

Thanks. I'm trying to find a better way to handle the redirects.

https://docs.asterisk.org/Asterisk_certified/18.9_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/WaitExten

Redirected to this page from the See Also section of Playback for the Dialplan Applications WaitExten link.

Seems the path prefix Asterisk_certified/18.9_Documentation should be Certified-Asterisk_18.9_Documentation: https://docs.asterisk.org/Certified-Asterisk_18.9_Documentation/API_Documentation/Dialplan_Applications/WaitExten/

Thanks for the report @DrPyser . These should all be fixed now.

gtjoseph avatar Apr 22 '24 12:04 gtjoseph

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Hangup+Cause+Mappings

should redirect to

https://docs.asterisk.org/Configuration/Miscellaneous/Hangup-Cause-Mappings/?h=hangup+cause

ronlockard avatar Apr 24 '24 18:04 ronlockard

Thanks @ronlockard. I'm trying to find a better way to handle the redirects that don't fit a known pattern.

gtjoseph avatar Apr 25 '24 16:04 gtjoseph

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/SIP+Retransmissions

Currently Redirects to which has no info:

https://docs.asterisk.org/SIP+Retransmissions

Probably should redirect to:

@bguilera Had you visited that page on the old wiki at some time? I don't see it in the dump we took so I'm wondering what it pointed to originally.

gtjoseph avatar May 13 '24 13:05 gtjoseph

@gtjoseph Unfortunately no, I don't recall visiting the old wiki.

bguilera avatar May 13 '24 14:05 bguilera

On this Site: https://docs.asterisk.org/Getting-Started/Installing-Asterisk/Installing-Asterisk-From-Source/What-to-Download/ is an Link "Checking Asterix Requirements" which redirects to this non existent site: https://docs.asterisk.org/Getting-Started/Installing-Asterisk/Installing-Asterisk-From-Source/Checking-Asterisk-Requirements

KernelSailor avatar Jun 01 '24 08:06 KernelSailor

On this Site: https://docs.asterisk.org/Getting-Started/Installing-Asterisk/Installing-Asterisk-From-Source/What-to-Download/ is an Link at the download section, which then gives an Error 500: https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-current.tar.gz

I think it should point to: https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-1-current.tar.gz

On this page: https://docs.asterisk.org/Getting-Started/Hello-World/ the "installing pjproject" link is Installing pjproject, but I think it should be https://docs.asterisk.org/Getting-Started/Installing-Asterisk/Installing-Asterisk-From-Source/Prerequisites/PJSIP-pjproject/ Currently it shows the 404 page, linking to this issue. Many thanks!

paul-jewell avatar Jul 08 '24 13:07 paul-jewell

All the links at https://www.asterisk.org/downloads/source-code/

@supercooltest Thanks for reporting this. This page isn't actually linked from www.asterisk.org any more which is probably why we never updated it. We didn't know it was there. I take it you found this page linked from an external site? Anyway, I've updated it.
