Apologies on the delays Denis, I'm behind on a few things here, by a few weeks...

Anyway, I'll take a look at what you've provided (and from Dale too) later this week, most likely the weekend though, to be honest.

Do you happen to be using PHP version 8.x, by chance?

Which manual page? ... I believe there was a manual page fix after the 15.2 release, but I'd have to double check.

[wissedenis22]

Am using php 7.4
And the please it'll be great if you point me to the fix otherwise everything changed in the latest version an am on pressure that the users don't there menu

But which manual page is giving trouble?

[wissedenis22]

The whole of it...
If you try to access it from the main menu.
We this doc cos most of the menu were removed users can't find their menu which it was in the previous version

I have found a way,

i changed this script under include/header.php on line 116

PHP Code:

$DefaultManualLink = '<div id="ActionIcon"><a data-title="' . _('Read the manual') . '" target="_blank" href="' . $PathPrefix . $RootPath . '/doc/Manual/ManualContents.php' . $ViewTopic . $BookMark . '"><img src="' . $PathPrefix . $RootPath . '/css/' . $_SESSION['Theme'] . '/images/manual.png" alt="' . _('Help') . '" /></a></div>'; 


to 

PHP Code:

    $DefaultManualLink = '<div id="ActionIcon"><a data-title="' . _('Read the manual') . '" target="_blank" href="' . $PathPrefix . $RootPath . '/ManualContents.php' . $ViewTopic . $BookMark . '"><img src="' . $PathPrefix . $RootPath . '/css/' . $_SESSION['Theme'] . '/images/manual.png" alt="' . _('Help') . '" /></a></div>'; 


i just removed /doc/Manual/

Yes, I seem to recall that was the fix, but I'll have to check to be sure.

Fwiw, this was fixed 2021-12-16 in commit 08e0678. There have been a number of other fixes since, so you may want to upgrade - but NOT to the lastest code, only to the 2022-11-13 commit by TurboPT (if you use git, git pull to get the latest code, then checkout the 2022-11-13 commit).

The commits from me in January 2022 were an attempt to correct PHP8 issues with PDF generation and exporting to Excel, but the work is more complex than I had thought, and for PDF and Excel exports to work you need to keep using PHP 7.4.
