571128 - add htaccess redirect for FirefoxHome help URL

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(support.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

The FirefoxHome iphone app will have a link to a support article from both the product and from the app store page. My understanding is that they'll link to whatever URL we give them.

I have no idea if http://support.mozilla.com/1/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%PLATFORM%/%LOCALE%/ works in an iPhone app or the app store, and the destination article has not been created, so this is just a heads with details to come.

From an e-mail thread from Cheng:

> The main support link for Firefox Home will be:
> 
> http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox-home/%version%/iPhone/en-US/
> 
> If you want to link to instructions for Sync Client install:
> 
> http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox/3.6/WINNT/en-US/prefs-weave/
> 
> And if you want to link to instructions for installing Fx Home:
> 
> http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox-home/%version%/iPhone/en-US/install

OK, started to work on this and then realized there are no targets yet. I'll need those to continue.

The main Firefox Home article name will be "What is Firefox Home." Additional articles will be "How to use Firefox Home"and "Firefox Home doesn't work."

Michael, can you confirm that this is correct?

http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox-home/%version%/iPhone/en-US/ -> http://support.mozilla.com/kb/What+is+Firefox+Home

http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox-home/%version%/iPhone/en-US/install -> http://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+use+Firefox+Home

Let's do this:

http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox-home/%version%/iPhone/en-US/ ->
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/What+is+Firefox+Home

and

http://support.mozilla.com/1/firefox-home/%version%/iPhone/en-US/install ->
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+setup+Firefox+Home+on+your+iPhone
