Manual Problems

This image in the manual is "Not Found".....

That's on this manual page.....

There's a 'bad grammar' typo on that page, too. It says, "The path to the directory where you images will be store."

Actually, I sorta like that :p but I guess you might want to fix it.

You should be your a few times, and store should be stored a few times.

I've updated the typing errors, but don't have time to look into the images.

Actually the CHM downloadable file is too way outdated than the online manual. I really wish if someone takes the time to update it as it's much more practical for many users.

I think it's updated at bigger releases. I could imagine that Kier will update it for 3.6

[Floris]

Yep, the chm is rebuild after a stable release.

Any ETA on this? :D

Thanks. I always prefer CHM files over other kind of documentation downloads, wether here or on other sites (PHP manual to name one). I find info are easier to find using the built-in serach engine, & then I can bookmark the entry or add comments to it.

Ufortunately, it's always outdated in comparison with other documentations although I can't understand what makes it harder to update than a PDF for example?!

The CHM compiler is run manually on Kier's machine. It is not created automatically on the server. Whereas with the online version, any staff member can access it, add to it (including entire sections), fix errors and such and it becomes available the second we save.

PDF takes time as well. The entire contents of the manual have to be downloaded, formatted, paged and then a PDF version can be created.
