In Base Table Data View, I right clicked on a column headking and selected Column Format from the drop-down menu to get to the Dialog "Field Format". There I clicked <Help>. This opened a FireFox tab to <https://help.libreoffice.org/dbtdata/cui:ListBox:RID_SVXPAGE_NUMBERFORMAT:LB_CATEGORY?Language=en-US&System=UNIX&Version=4.0>, which tells me Dbtdata/cui:ListBox:RID SVXPAGE NUMBERFORMAT:LB CATEGORY There is currently no text in this page. Thie seems, please pardon the pun, un<Help>ful. I see this with 4.0.0.1 (Build id 527dba6...) installed "in parallel" from the tarball of 32-bit .deb files. I did not install any helppack or languagepack. I am setting status UNCONFIRMED in case the difficulty has something to do with my flaky access to the internet. Terry.
With master commit 16ab898, pulled around 2012-01-10 10:55Z, the same ser actions bring me to a different URI, <https://help.libreoffice.org/Error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var>, which has a different title but amounts to the same thing ... Error/HTTP NOT FOUND.html.var There is currently no text in this page.
AFAIK version 4.0 help files have not been uploaded to wiki yet.
I'm marking this as a NOTABUG since this is not exactly a bug but something which is not yet ready.
In a sense NOTABUG sounds entirely right. But the release candidate was announced on a bunch of mailing lists. Perhaps the download page <http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/> or the release notes <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/4.0.0/RC1> should warn early testers not to expect the web-help to work?
Taking this, need to check this when the 4.0 help is uploaded.
@Jan - any update on this one?
Are you aware, that with installed LOCALHELP F1 also returns a blank page when called from this dialog? So maybe it's not related to WIKIHELP but the help call is malformed itself? Or the help page does not exist at all? Got identical results (empty help page) in 4.0.2.2, 3.6.5.2, and 3.5.7.2
Nino is right.
I still see the problem with my debug build of master commit 692878e, fetched 2014-08-13, built and running on debian-wheezy 64-bit. The referenced URI is <https://help.libreoffice.org/dbtdata/cui/ui/numberingformatpage/categorylb?Language=en-US&System=UNIX&Version=4.4>, and the page reads: Dbtdata/cui/ui/numberingformatpage/categorylb There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.
