[PATCH] webinterface: Add links to the configuration wiki

[PATCH] webinterface: Add links to the configuration wiki

[Leo-Andres Hofmann]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3854 bytes --]

This patch adds a little "help" icon to the page header.
If a manual entry exists for a configuration page, the icon
appears and offers a quick way to access the wiki.
Wiki pages can be configured in the "manualpages" file.

Hi all,

This patch is not yet complete, but I would like to present the idea.
What do you think, would this get more people to read the wiki?

To test this, move the new file "manualpages" to /var/ipfire/main/ and CTRL+F5 reload the webif to refresh the CSS cache.

Still -to do- and where I could use some help:
Add "manualpages" file to the updater/installer - how, and should this file be read-only?
Collect and match all wiki pages to the CGIs.

Kind regards
Leo

Good idea!
More comments, possibly, after review and test.

A quick search shows, that this object isn't used anymore. So it is 
okay, to delete it.

I think it would help!  Anything that pushes more eyeballs to the wiki is very helpful!

> Collect and match all wiki pages to the CGIs.


I’d be happy to help with this.  

Is the new file "manualpages" a link to the wiki?  Or a text file full of info? Or?

And how is a new "manualpages" file installed into a Core Update?

Re: [PATCH] webinterface: Add links to the configuration wiki

[Bernhard Bitsch]

The enhancements function without problems for your examples.
Two additional thoughts:
- the manual_pages hash could be read global at the start of 
general-functions
- is it possible to check the existence of the page? Doing the test 
manually, I've copied the last line of manualpages with an error. So I 
landed on the oops page.

$Lang::tr{'online help en'} translates to 'Onlinehilfe in Deutsch' for 
German WUI language. Other languages generate similiar texts, I suppose.
Because our wiki is in english only the hint should read 'Onlinehilfe' ( 
the adequate term in the WUI language ) only.

Hi Bernhard,

Thanks for trying this out on such short notice!

Would this improve the page load time?
The hash is only accessed once in the openpage() function.

Good idea! But I think this should only be checked once by the build script e.g. "make manualpages", to avoid excess http requests to the Wiki.

You're right ( for the moment? ). But the manualpages function could 
also be called at other places.

Agreed. There is also the problem, that wiki editing, building of IPFire 
and running of IPFire are independend processes. So the error can't be 
prevented, only minimized by the build time check.

Re: [PATCH] webinterface: Add links to the configuration wiki

[Adolf Belka]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5150 bytes --]

Hi Leo,

I tried it out on my testbed vm system and it is working fine.

I updated the manualpages file to include all the entries that are visible in my System menu - no wireless client option as I don't have that on my vm install. You just have to keep an eye out for changes in the url as I found for the fireinfo wiki page which is not under configuration/system so I got an oops couldn't find that page message but was able to quickly fix it.

My manualpages file now looks like:-

------------------------

index=configuration/system/startpage
pppsetup=configuration/system/dial
qos=configuration/services/qos
mail=configuration/system/mail_service
remote=configuration/system/ssh
backup=configuration/system/backup
gui=configuration/system/userinterface
fireinfo=fireinfo
vulnerabilities=configuration/system/vulnerabilities
shutdown=configuration/system/shutdown
credits=configuration/system/credits

------------------------

Regards,

Adolf.

Thank you! I'll get in touch when the file format is finalized.

It is a configuration file which links a wiki page to a CGI page:

[name of the cgi]=/path/to/wikipage

I'll document this better.

I don't know that either. So far I have only submitted code and let the maintainers do the rest :D

Hi Adolf,

thank you for trying this and providing a new configuration file! This is great!
Since you have also come across missing pages, I should realize Bernhard's idea and build a test script.

I'll implement all suggestions and submit again soon :)

Regards,
Leo

You just have to keep an eye out for changes in the url as I found for the fireinfo wiki page which is not under configuration/system so I got an oops couldn't find that page message but was able to quickly fix it.
