When I click on the Help link on my forum I always get the message

HTTP Error 404

Does this mean that the path of this link is not good, and if so in which file can I change this?

Yes, that means you can not find the help file
you have to check whether the file actually exists Wink

I'm just watching ...
And find out that mine also gives a 404 in the Dutch language pack:

XrD.nl: 404 error
Sorry, I could NOT find http://www.xrd.nl/forum/Themes/default/help/index.dutch.html
Try again Smiley

So apparently there is a bug in the Dutch help file ...
english is there, and it works just ...
strange, I can not find that index.dutch.html on the server Tongue

What you can do is the english help files renamed to the Dutch.

So replace english dutch

I have also done so, and now it works well for me (except that it is explained in English ....)

Hi all,

I just figured out an easier solution.
Create an HTML file and put the following code in:

Code:
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" CONTENT="0; url=index.english.html">
<meta content="text/html; http-equiv="Content-Type" charset=iso-8859-1">
</ head> <body> </ body> </ html>



Save this file as index.dutch.html and upload it (help / Themes / default /) to the Help folder of your forum.

How does it work? Once someone on the Help button he gets to that file. Which refers the visitor straight to the already existing index.english.html

A nice solution until a dutch help file exists Smiley
