mybb/mybb#1729

If you grep docs.mybb.com in the whole MyBB package, you can find many more links:

• http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Task_System.html
• http://docs.mybb.com/HowTo_Chmod.html (linked at least 2 times)
• http://docs.mybb.com/CHMOD_Files.html (linked at least a few times, should merge it with the above doc)
• http://docs.mybb.com/SEF_URLs.html
• http://docs.mybb.com/Utf8_setup.html
• http://docs.mybb.com/Anonymous_Statistics.html (linked at least 2 times)
• http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Upload_Directory.html
• http://docs.mybb.com/Cookie_Settings.html
• http://docs.mybb.com/165.html

I think that's all, at least I can't find anything else.

There are also some in the merge system - at least the chmod page is linked too.

@JoshHarmon Any idea what was on http://docs.mybb.com/165.html ?

when doing a grep on the mybb install on my test forum, these are the files it's finding that need to be updated with the correct docs.mybb.com links:

admin/modules/tools/system_health.php:925: $page->output_error("<p><em>{$errors} {$lang->error_chmod}</span></strong> {$lang->chmod_info} <a href=\"http://docs.mybb.com/HowTo_Chmod.html\" target=\"_blank\">MyBB Docs</a>.</em></ p>");

inc/languages/english/admin/config_settings.lang.php:86:$l['error_chmod_settings_file'] = "The settings file \"./inc/settings.php\" isn't writable.

@Destroy666x, are you finding anything else that I didn't note above?

[andrewjs18]

documenting more files that need to be updated...all of these are within the /install directory...some redirect properly and some don't...we should probably update all of them regardless for the sake of uniformity.

@Ben-Conway

[Destroy666x]

Well, I listed all instances I found above. There were no changes so they still are broken

[andrewjs18]

yeah, I just wanted to list out where all of those instances were in the files to make it easier for us to fix.

[andrewjs18]

most of this stuff is fixed in these PRs:
mybb/mybb#2452
mybb/mybb#2453

[andrewjs18]

merge links that need to be updated from what I've found doing a grep on the merge package:

index.php:620: $errors['attachments_check'] = $lang->requirementspage_chmoduploads.' <a href="http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/#file-permissions" target="_blank">'.$lang->requirementspage_chmod.'</a>'.$lang->requirementspage_chmoduploads;

language/global.lang.php:196:$l['upload_not_writeable'] = 'The uploads directory ({1}) is not writable. Please adjust the <a href="http://docs.mybb.com/CHMOD_Files.html" target="_blank">chmod</a> permissions to allow it to be written to.';

language/global.lang.php:197:$l['download_not_readable'] = 'The directory could not be read. Please adjust the <a href="http://docs.mybb.com/CHMOD_Files.html" target="_blank">chmod</a> permissions to allow it to be read from and ensure the URL is correct. If you are still experiencing issues, please try the full system path instead of a URL (ex: /var/www/htdocs/path/to/your/old/forum/uploads/ or C:/path/to/your/old/forum/upload/). Also ensure access isn\'t being blocked by a htaccess file.';
