Docs: Bad (404) URLs

Open RichardSharpe opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

When I click on this link:

https://github.com/dwmkerr/sharpshell/blob/master/docs/extensions/propertysheetextension/docs/installing/installing.md

from the the following page:

https://github.com/dwmkerr/sharpshell/blob/master/docs/extensions/propertysheetextension/propertysheetextension.md

(it's down the bottom and labelled as Installing)

I get a 404.

Hey @RichardSharpe, thanks for letting us know. I noticed, that not only this one, but also other links on this site are dead (404), too. It's a small fix, as we just need to remove the the "." at the beginning, then they work.

Here's the actual working URL: https://github.com/dwmkerr/sharpshell/blob/master/docs/installing/installing.md

I'll see if other parts of the docs are having the same problem and will fix them all together.

Also on the Property Sheet Extension page:

https://github.com/dwmkerr/sharpshell/blob/master/docs/extensions/propertysheetextension/propertysheetextension.md

You see the following links under the picture of the properties dialog box:

Creating the Project Create the DeskBand Interface Create the DeskBand Server Install the DeskBand Server See Also

Of these, the middle three have the wrong names (they seem to have been copy pasted from somewhere else) and they go nowhere.

Hey @RichardSharpe, thanks again for the help. I've made a new branch and added a pull request to work on the docs to fix these urls, see #299.

If you want to help, you can fix them yourself and commit to that same branch/pull-request.

Usually the problem is that the docs were moved and the links have not been edited. But to fix them, usually it's just deleting the . at the beginning, to make it /docs/whatever (absolute) instead of ./docs/whatever (relative)

Feel free to do that :) Or - like you've done before - list here all places you find so I can fix them later.
