Description Stephen Herr 2008-09-08 21:17:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
Some of the links to help documentation are broken.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.0.7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to these pages:

/rhn/errata/manage/PublishedErrata.do
/rhn/errata/manage/UnpublishedErrata.do
/network/software/channels/manage/index.pxt
/network/software/packages/manage/index.pxt

2. Click on the help icon next to the page title
  
Actual results:
404
These pages are all pointing to help documentation that was removed in bug 455628.

Expected results:
The channels pages help links should point to 
/rhn/help/reference/rhn500/en/s1-sm-channels-packages.jsp

The other errata help links all point to 
/rhn/help/reference/rhn500/en/s1-sm-errata.jsp
Unfortunately that page doesn't contain any help for these pages. We should either add to the documentation or remove the help links.

Regarding Perl:  The .pxt pages build the help URLs inside of HTML.pm.  The code assumes that all one needs to specify is the guide-name as help-guide, and the HREF as help-href.  This does not, alas, work any more.

Regarding test plan:

1) Choose "Errata" in main (top. red) nav-bar
2) Choose "Manage Errata" from left-nav

This gives access to published/unpublished errata.

For further testing, one needs to have created an errata first - then a lot of the affected pages/tabs become available.
Comment 2 Grant Gainey 2008-09-16 19:18:06 UTC 
Further testing notes:

The creation of help-URLs for Perl pages was affected by the note above.  Run through randomly-chosen .pxts, and make sure that the help links still work.

SDC and SSM are good places to look for remaining .pxts.

Checked in as SVN r119060, 119061.
