I am excited to see SageTV is alive and moving forward again.
![]() I want to help but I am not a coder, Is there anything I can help with. I do have some web hosting resources available and can do simple tasks. Possible to have a list for us non-coders? |

How are you at documentation? There is a SageTV.wikia.com that is dying for a bunch of stuff to be put to on it. Info from FAQ posts on here, and ultimately the entirety of the sage manual should be migrated to wiki form, as it will be better for open source maintenance.

If we can just copy and paste it would be quite simple to get a base copy up in a short time. I am aware that there will need to be updates but a base copy would be a starting point. Your thoughts.. |

I agree that documentation is a great place for a non-coder to help. Even if it's only for things like grammar and spelling. ![]() |

Not currently. I've submitted an adoption request for it, as it has not been touched by the original founder since 2012, and he never created a backup bureaucrat or admin. I'm not sure how long it takes for the wikia staff or community support to handle these requests, but editing can go on in the meantime without it.

You can also throw some cash at the developers.

Manual migrated to Wikia
The bulk of the migration of the manual is complete.
SageTV.wikia.com The Wikia site has some quirks to get used to but; So Far So Good. ![]() I invite help to clean up formatting errors and upload pictures into the manual. Mike |

Nice work there, Mike! Besides the formatting and pics, I think we need to make it possible to jump to each subsection, as well as create clickable links directly to any other section being referenced in the text of the manual. So we aren't duplicating effort, I've started with the links in the table of contents and will finish that up tonight.
EDIT: Also, as I find headings which are not formatted as headings, I'm fixing those, since I need to link to those, specifically. EDIT #2: Okay, so a LOT of the headings are missing in the text, so this is going to take longer than anticipated. LOL! But, that's what I'm working on.

Is there anything that would take the original Word doc and convert it, links and all?

If you mean to Wikia, then I don't think so. I found that Wikia has some quirks and limitations.

EDIT: An idea I had was to also include a link back to the table of contents, but haven't even figured out how that would look. Thanks Mike Last edited by Someassembly; 12-03-2015 at 01:23 PM. |

Wikia wall
Beware that Wikia has a limit to how much you can do in a day. I have hit it more than once.

![]() But, this will continue to be my contribution to the OSS project. I'll keep at this over the next little while. I'm not sure just how smart the wikia code is, so I'd be hesitant for anyone to start making links within the text of the manual for now. I'd hate for my work to undo anything someone else does or vice versa.

Does anyone know if there's a way to make the main section of the table of contents look more like the "contents" part you can, optionally, expand at the top? I wanted to get some numbering or indentation, but it doesn't seem to allow that.
For example, there's this one section for chapter 2: Starting SageTV Controlling SageTV’s Service Mode Options Accessing Network Drives with the SageTV Service Should I Use SageTV in Service Mode? Changing Property File Settings in Service Mode Each of these is formatted in one of 3 ways in decreasing font size, with the first one being a sub-heading 1, the second one a sub-heading 2, and the last 3 being sub-heading 3's. I can't figure out how to get it like this (still using same sub-heading formatting): Code:
Starting SageTV Controlling SageTV’s Service Mode Options Accessing Network Drives with the SageTV Service Should I Use SageTV in Service Mode? Changing Property File Settings in Service Mode UPDATE: I figured out a way to use bullet lists that's pretty close to what I was looking for, so I think I'll stick with that. UPDATE #2: Okay, now I'm torn. The new way gives this look: ...while the old way gives this look: I like image 3 with image 2, but that doesn't seem to be a combination I can create. If I could just get the text of image 4 to indent at each sub-heading level, I'd be golden.

Yea, I found some restrictions in Wikia too. Most can be worked around, but sometimes we must lower the bar in order to work within the tool set given. I think you have made great progress.
