Problems in the Joomla.org website.

Post by sondergaard » Sun May 13, 2007 3:55 am

The Joomla.org website has a link to "Example Pages" but I can only find one example page.
That example page says there is "a new menu on the left", but that menu is missing. 
I think that missing menu is supposed to have links to example pages. 
I can't find out if Joomla is any use to me, because I can't see any example pages, nor any example websites.

I then looked to see how to report a problem with the website.  I found two links on the subject of reporting bugs, on a page headed "The Joomla Community".  One of those links was called "Reporting bugs", and was faulty!  It does nothing at all; the page just flickers and stays the same.  The other link was called "trackers", and gives a 404 error.

I tested the website in both IE 7 and in FireFox, and both show the same problems.

So the website is faulty, but has no way to report those faults!  So I'm having to write about these problems in this forum instead.
(Is there a more appropriate forum for me to report these problems?)

Could you provide links to the pages in question?

You can view examples of Joomla! in action by visiting the Site Showcase forum or the demo sites. You may report issues with the Joomla! site(s) in the Sites & Infrastructure forum.

Its good to see such a quick response.  :-)

Yes, here are a couple of links.

First, here is the URL of the page headed "The Joomla Community".  The broken links on this page are the links with the labels "trackers" and "Reporting bugs".
http://demo.joomla.org/demo15/index.php ... &Itemid=37

Second, here is the URL of the page that I originally had the problem with.
http://demo.joomla.org/demo15/index.php ... om_content
This page says "there is a new menu in the left column".  But there are only two menus in the left column, neither of which are new; these menus were on the previous pages too.  That page gives me the impression that there should be a menu with 4 links, which should lead to 4 pages with the same text, but laid out differently in each page.

Some of the sql content in 1.5 beta2 has not been updated yet.
It will for sure in RC or one of next SVN.
