don't we want to keep those as reference, just in case?
well, I tagged/categorized a lot of things from 0.9... we need a better organization, I think .
Walter, can you be more specific?
"better" doesn't help us knowing what to do...
By example, in the main page (http://manual.b2evolution.net/Main_Page) There's a link to a page called Advanced Configuration (http://manual.b2evolution.net/Advanced_configuration).
The top of this page say that if refers to b2evolution 0.9.2, altough I know that the text of the page is valid in recent versions too.
Another example: if I search skins, I fall on this page (http://manual.b2evolution.net/Skins) that is not that relevant..
I know that a wiki is hard to deal. I 'm ok with letting older information there, we need just to assure that people that search informations about new versions fing them.
(Sorry if my english is too confuse...)
Walter,
By all means, when you see things like that, edit them right away in the manual! I just edited the 2 pages you mentioned. Let me know what you think.
If nothing else, please post a list of all such problems you see, I will work on them.
Thank you.
-Francois.
Yes, I edited. As I said, I added a lot of categories to pages some time ago ;)
Yes, categories can be helpful.
Maybe we should even put them at the top of the pages?
What I liked back in the 0.x age was a detailed description of the settings you can use in functions in your skin, but are not that obvious or needed by others (are not in the default skins).
Like all the different settings you can use
for example :
$Item->images( array(xxx
what are all the different settings I can set there
or skin_include( '_item_contentsingle.inc.php', array(
'image_size' => 'fit-400x266',
) );
what else can I put there
these are just 2 examples, it would be nice to have it for all the (new) functions
or an example with different posttypes, and how you can include them in your skin
Some "user friendly" documentation of function.js with examples of how it could be useful in skin design, posts etc

In case of what???
Anyone still using < 1.10.3 should find no support anywhere. 'Just in case' the total lack of support for something so extremely obsolete gets them to upgrade.
It'd probably be a TON of work, but imagine if 1.10 support was almost like it's own wiki. No one will add anything to it anymore, or most likely not, but hey the vast majority of peeps aren't going to need that info anyway so it sorta makes sense to not have it mixed in with support for 245 and beyond.
It was more like "just in case" there is some useful info there that is not available in "3.x" form.
Topanga: if the following page was compelted, would that suit your expectations:
http://manual.b2evolution.net/TemplateTags
anyone else agrreing/disagreeing on this priority?
John: functions.js is a support file for the backoffice. Explaining how javascript works is beyond the scope of this project. I mean I cannot see this as a priority before long.
@fplanque... fair enough :)
The FAQ category.. is outdated ;)
Write a page to describe the sample Photoblog
http://manual.b2evolution.net/Sample/example_blogs
(No, my english would hurt the readers...)

I suppose it would help a lot!
On the wiki, we need to removed old part of manual, I mean pages that refer to 0.9.x version.
