Title: New Tech Notes - Part of new website
Post by: Sue Clancy on November 04, 2016, 12:07:47 PM
As part of the new website, I have redone the tech notes section to fit into the new design of the site.  This redesign will make it much easier for us to update the website with the quarterly articles from Mainsheet magazine.

I kept the navigation to the articles similar to the way it was before - by year and then issue and then by article.

As a reminder, these tech notes are only available to members of the C34 International association and you will be prompted for security credentials to access this.  When you join the association, you are sent a note with the Username and password to use for this.  These are still the same.  These are not the same credentials used for the message board.

However, this is now slightly different than it was before as described here.

- Issues prior to 2010 are only available in PDF or in some cases .doc format and will prompt you for the username and password
- Issues from 2010 forward are available in both PDF and html format.
     - For PDF you will be prompted you for the username and password
     - For HTML you will only be prompted for a password - This is the same password used for the PDF documents and the same as the one that was sent to you when you joined.

Here is a link to the new format.

Please respond to this post if you have any questions or issues.

Hi Sue,

Does the C34 (google) site search include the tech index?

When using the search previously, along with the first return of google results, I thought an "advanced" button displayed.  I see that's missing now?  (or was I imagining that before?)

We should not need that now that the stuff is in Wordpress. I coded th search to get gooogle to look at everything on the site including tech notes. It may take a bit for it to be reindexed.

Hi Sue -

The November 1987 link does not open, is this because we don't have the issue?

Thanks,

Gary

Jon W brought an issue to my attention.  In his extensive tech wiki article about electrical upgrades - 1987 MK 1 Catalina 34 Electrical System Upgrade at this link http://c34.org/wikiwp/?rdp_we_resource=http%3A%2F%2Fc34.org%2Fwiki%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3D1987_MK_1_Catalina_34_Electrical_System_Upgrade (http://c34.org/wikiwp/?rdp_we_resource=http%3A%2F%2Fc34.org%2Fwiki%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3D1987_MK_1_Catalina_34_Electrical_System_Upgrade) he has some PDF and XLS attachments, these are currently not available in this new view.  While I wait for some support from the developer of the tool I am using to retrieve the Wiki content, please use this link to get directly to the content.

http://c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=1987_MK_1_Catalina_34_Electrical_System_Upgrade

I don't believe there are many articles with attachments in the wiki but if you see this issue in other places, the original source is always available as a link at the very bottom of the page.
