New Website!

Sue,

I notice that linking into the TechWiki, now displays a simplified UI, with no "Edit" link or capability. 
Was that intentional? 
To be able to add to/edit the TW, I had to get in thru a back door.

At the bottom of every page ther is a link to the original article on the wiki where you can edit the source. I think I can put an edit link on the bottom as well if folks want that?

Sue,
just noticed this.

In Chrome the footer that contains the copyright info has a link on the right to the disclaimer, but only the D shows inside the footer blue block.

Paul, can you possibly post a screen capture of what you are seeing?  I'm in chrome and it looks OK to me.  Also are you on a Windows machine or a Mac?

Thanks

Paul do you possibly have a zoom value set in Chrome or a Custom DPI set in your Screen Resolution settings? 
I'm using Chrome v. 54.0.2840.99 m, and the entire footer shows up (unless I zoom chrome out to about 60%.)

Sue,

Ahhhhh Ha.   d'oh.   The link got lost on the wiki manuals page -- didn't even notice it
http://c34.org/wikiwp/?rdp_we_resource=http%3A%2F%2Fc34.org%2Fwiki%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DManuals

Possibly rename "source" to "Edit this page"?  Or under Home Page > Technical > Tech Wiki, add a link "Add to or Edit the TechWiki" that points to http://c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Catalina_

Also,
I believe that I have copied everything on the C34.org "manuals" page, over to the Wiki Manuals page (I will verify that) so that the old location with manuals could be vaporized to avoid confusion between the two.  The Home Page link under "Technical" could then point to the Wiki manuals.

Maybe Paul's seeing only the "D" isclaimer is because the link is at a fixed width?

Ken,

I took a few of your suggestions with a little modification.

- Renamed "Source" to "Edit this page at the source:"
Since 99% of the time folks are just reading the wiki content, I don't really want to put a menu item to go directly to the wiki source.  I think this approach with just relabeling the link will be better

- Changed the link under Documents - Manuals now goes directly to the wiki page with the manuals.  It did look like you had put everything there from the old manuals page. 

We had some discussion on this and I actually would prefer if we put all the manuals on a Wordpress page rather than in the wiki and appoint someone to own the manuals section.  The editing of these pages is easier in my opinion than the wiki pages is though the limitation is that not everyone can edit directly.  For now, the wiki page works.  We are trying to boost direct ownership of certain areas of the site to try to keep them more up to date.

Haven't heard back from Paul on what he is really seeing with the disclaimer link but possibly a fixed width issue (more likely your zooming idea is what is happening.)  I did have to hack that footer a bit so I suspect something like that.
 

[KWKloeber]

Sue,

Perfect!

Ok, I'll continue to post-to/edit the Wiki manuals until that changes.

Note/caution -- I see that I had simply copy/pasted many of the links from C34/manuals, to the Wiki page, not actually reposted the documents.   I wouild think it best to actually put all of them at wiki/images so its consistent --- yes?  no?


Great job on the site.
Ken

[Sue Clancy]

Ken Yes you should repost the actual manual to wherever they are on the wiki.

Hi Sue,
here's a link to the screen shot.

100% zoom.

Is that in a laptop screen or monitor?
Do you possibly have a custom screen resolution set (ie desktop > right click.)

Below is on Win 7 Pro 7601, Chrome, 100% zoom. 
The second is zoomed out (fixed width bottom banner.)

I adjusted how this disclaimer is displayed as I do think it is related to zooming.  See how it looks now.

Looks good on my laptop.

Will check the PC as soon as Peggy finishes her workout :)
