- Description
The URL's for the help buttons are not being built correctly. Users are unable to get help during the initial setup.
Tested on 1.10.0b1. To reproduce:
After a fresh install go to the Administration:Administration page
Click on the General icon.
Click on the help icon at the top of Administration General
The help URL will use the local host name instead of doc.tikiwiki.orgOther notes:
Help shows enabled on the features page (apparently enabled by default)
All pages reached through tiki-admin.php seem to have this problem- Solution
In 1.10, there is no need for a pref to be in the db to be loaded. If there is no value in the db, it will load it from the settings in lib/setup/prefs.php. The problem here is that the help_doclink function in tikihelplib.php is referencing the $helpurl, when it should in fact reference $prefs['helpurl'] (i.e. use the 1.10 prefs format).
Of course, there is a workaround by setting preferences format to support 1.9 legacy formats under Admin...General but we do want to test that pref formats are changed to 1.10 format...
Fix in tikihelplib.php
