Broken Links to help documents and samples

JaniceBaird — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:48:50 GMT

Has anyone at ESRI tried to fix the broken links in Forum Posts? Many users have included links in the threads. Most of these links are useless now... I suppose this is from the files being moved.

Is there an easy way to get the links to work again?

Thanks,
Janice.

A number of things have moved, but all content is still available.

Anything specific you're looking for that I can help you find?

Can you help me find this as well? There used to be a page for looking up different symbols, epecially the PictureMarkerSymbol. But I cannot find it any more. The URL in my bookmark is:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/inside_renderers.htm

Thanks Swingley but I would have to go through the forum posts and find the broken links and send them to you. Dawenx posted one. It redirects you to the Javascript Help Files but not the specific help document you are looking for. Any forum posts dated prior to the move have these broken links.

Can ESRI update the links in the Forums?

Thanks Derek, but this is not exactly what I'm looking for. What I can remember is that on that page, maybe referenced from the link I provided, there are examples on different picture symbols and we could get the URL information. For example, I have below codes to represent a work location and I got the URL from that page.

workSymbol      = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol({"angle":0,"xoffset":0,"yoffset":0,"type":"esriPMS","url":"http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/PeoplePlaces/Office.png","contentType":"image/png","width":18,"height":18});

Same content is now here: http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jshelp/inside_renderers.html

A better question would be why aren't there any redirects from an old page to its corresponding page on the new site?
