268987 - User Newsgroups link in help contents gets 404 error.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Documentation Graveyard :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

In both Mozilla 1.7.3 and Firefox 1.0, go to Help -> Help Contents, and click on
"User Newsgroups".

The linked URL is http://www.mozilla.org/community/user-forums.html .
It should be changed to http://www.mozilla.org/support/#community .

Given that Firefox 1.0 is already released, maybe user-forums.html should just
redirect to support/#community .

sorry about this. I removed the page, but I forgot it's linked from Help (and
Google didn't help me with finding pages linking to it either...)

This is my first patch, so please let me know if I did it the right way, or tell
me my mistakes ;-)

Apparently, this is now fixed on the website -- but not in Help. Chris, is the
patch you submitted for Firefox or for Mozilla? The Product/Component is for the
Mozilla Help Viewer. BTW: I'm not a reviewer, but is the first line of the patch
100% ok?

Let's fix this in help too.

Strictly speaking it is not, because the patch was diff'd against install rather
than source. Kenan, you need to find out about PatchMaker, or checking the
source out from CVS, or even compiling your own build.

Fix checked in.

Mozilla trunk is fixed.
Mozilla 1.7 branch: no.
Firefox trunk: no.

I don't know how to flag a patch for the 1.7 branch. (or do I need permission)
I've filed the Firefox version of this in bug 269525 .

I was hoping this would be in the 1.7 branch before verifying.

If you want it to be fixed on the 1.7 branch, please reopen and set the desired
approval flag (hit "Edit" under "Actions").

Comment 13

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

No 'Edit' under actions here. I've always assumed that I didn't have permission.

http://www.mozilla.org/community/user-forums.html redirects to the right place
when I put it in the URL bar. Does this not work in the help?

Yes it does. But on the 1.7 branch the link URL is still wrong in help. The link
in help is changed to http://www.mozilla.org/support/#community on Mozilla trunk
and aviary branch. The approval request is about changing the link in help to
the correct one and not relaying on the redirect. The summary is confusing...
