Moho Forum

Have you successfully opened the MOHO14 user manual? It seems to be a webpage rather than a PDF file, and every click seems to have no response

Yes, the manual is a 'wiki' style page now. I believe they switched to this format to make revisions more instant.

The links work here, so I'm not sure why it's unresponsive for you. Have you tried another browser? it should be compatible with any browser, but if it's not, it would be helpful to let them know.

FYI, I've only used the manual with Chrome and it's working fine for me.

I don't know if a PDF version is in the works. Maybe if enough users ask for it, they'll consider it? Or at least make a downloadable HTML version for those without internet connection? Just a thought.

Neither Firefox nor Google Chrome can access it. Display 'This seems to be taking a longer than expected...' Try agan

Confirmed. Working here too.

Works here too. Could be something related to your internet provider?

What I don't like is how the search options are way more limited with this new web version.

If you use the web's search bar you only get results of the words that appear on the tittles. If you try to use your browser's search you can't because you never have access to the full text, you'll had to search section by section. And the web's print option also works only for the section you are in, so you can't use it to convert the whole manual to PDF to be able to have it offline or, again, make a proper search.

I **think** the search options are not within Moho's scope to change. The wiki is "just" a different interface into Google Drive. And other (Google Drive) users are also asking for full text search: https://feedback.youneedawiki.com/542

I think it's related to Google services, we can't access Google drive

do you need to be signed in to a google account to access the google apps??? (from the google.com - or your local version -- I'm on google.co.uk) there's the "apps" button near top right -- what can you see if you click on it?

oh!!!!!

Definitely could use a downloadable and fully searchable version.

I tried an online website to pdf converter but it only grabs the first page. The rest of the pages remain online links.

Hmm. I tried the full version of Acrobat, which has an option to convert an entire website to PDF, but it didn't work either.

I'm not an expert at this but looking at the URLs, this doesn't appear to be structured like a regular HTML website, which is probably what Acrobat is looking for.

that's right -- If I've read the description correctly, each page is a separate file in Google Drive https://youneedawiki.com/

I can view the manual and click to navigate the different pages, but the Search function seems to have no effect, both in Firefox and Chrome (Windows).
