[Geoserver-devel] Documentation issue - SLD

Hi Folks,
I was looking in the documentation and I can’t seem to find anything for SLD’s any more. The stuff for the new CSS extensions is there though.

So for 2.3.5 documentation:
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.3.5/user/search.html?check_keywords=yes&area=default&q=cookbook&x=0&y=0

but for 2.4.0 (and “stable” and “latest”):
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.4.0/user/search.html?check_keywords=yes&area=default&q=cookbook&x=0&y=0

Is this intentional or has something Bad happened?

Cheers,
Jonathan

The SLD stuff is there but... has the search box in the documentation ever
worked? For anything?
That's a surprise to me, I always search with Google instead :slight_smile:

For example, searching from graphic fill margin option:
https://www.google.it/search?q=geoserver+sld+margin&oq=geoserver+sld+margin&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j0l3j69i64.7949j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Hi Andrea,
The search box definitely used to work for the pre-2.4.0 documents. Something appears to have happened to make them disappear from the results with that release though.
I can set up a custom search easily enough - (include site:http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/ and it’ll only get the GeoServer docs). But many users will use the GeoServer Search because it’s there. A false negative is worse than no search function because it implies to the user that there is no documentation on something. I’m guessing you or someone has the stats for server-search use so you’d be able to see how much it’s being used.

Regards,

Jonathan

The search returns SLD pages for me for some queries (example: http://docs.geoserver.org/2.4.0/user/search.html?q=book )

I’m not totally sure what’s up, the search actually happens in the browser based on a full index that is served as a JavaScript script. I see a JS console error on page load but like I said some terms still give results.

It’s very intermittent.
Compare the term “labelling” (my original search that identified this).

For 2.3.5:
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.3.5/user/search.html?q=labelling - there’s a huge wall of results.

For 2.4.0:
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.4.0/user/search.html?q=labelling

Two results, and neither is the page called “labeling”!
