#12 Things that don't work without dcgui.berlios.de

[Edward Sheldrake]

1. The help page. A copy of this needs to be hosted on sourceforge.

2. The external IP detection code. This could be changed to use whatismyip.org if the User Agent can be set. Otherwise a copy of ip.php needs to be hosted on sourceforge.

3. The support hub (Help -> Support) hasn't worked in ages and probably should be removed.

OK the external IP getting code in dcoptions.cpp has now been re-written to use QHttp and whatismyip.org. It's in subversion trunk.

Now just need to sort out the hosting of the help file on sourceforge.

I've got an archived copy of the manual from the berlios server here:

<http://snaggledworks.com/software/valknut/manual/manual.html>

including the images that are not in the svn repo.

Thanks, I've put your copy up on the sourceforge website.

There's also the crash reporting code and the update checker to look at, but these functions are probably rarely used.

We've got forums as part of the sourceforge project resources (the Forums tab at the top). They're not the same as the usual phpBB powered forums, but they seem OK.
