@abdelouahabb would you know why this is and how to solve it (for other users) ?

[abdelouahabb]

From the online documentation there is the PRE 4.11 DOCUMENTATION in the navbar, so if we take the example of the Installation Guide, there are two versions :

• the old one who sends to http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/archived-cloudstack-installation
• the other one (latest) stays in the latest docs http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/installguide/

So from here, the search results send to /project/ instead of the /latest/ , so I think the solution is to send the doc build to the /project/ that will be easier

Can you add screenshots and hyperlinks to the problamatic location, please.
at http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/index.html there is no PRE 4.11 :

where are you looking?

@abdelouahabb sorry I can't reproduce your description:

Search a keyword
After results, choose any resultat
It will take the user to the 4.12 page showing Warning NOTICE: THIS DOCUMENTATION SITE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED.

so trying to reproduce:

• i went to the docs
• and typed network,
• choose the first entry: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/networking/basic_zone_config.html?highlight=network

can you add the precise reproduction steps of your problem please?

Because it gives duplicate results, one from the latest docs, the other one from the archived :

[DaanHoogland]

yes, it does. This is intentional. What is it that you would want to see different?

Maybe if there is a big difference between the LTS and the normal release, it would be good to have two results, but i think having two results seems ambiguous ?

[DaanHoogland]

we changed the documentation method at 4.11 that's why. It is marked as from archived so I don't see a problem. as 4.11 is quite old we might considder phasing it out, but on the other hand I know of companies still at 4.7 and 4.9.
