Documentation for v 1.36.33 ?

Post by gbeyer »

Hello, thank you for creating ZM!
I'm looking for documentation for ver 1.36.33. The screens and tabs items in my installed and running ZM don't match what is shown on https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io.

[edit} In particular, I'd like to have a full description and implications of using the Functions, found in General tab, Function: None, Monitor, Modect, Record, Mocord, Nodect. But one finds tons of great nuggets by RTFM, so yeah, why I want the docs for the current ver.

Another thing I'm looking to understand is the "Cause" column when viewing a monitor. For example here's a bit of a screenshot of my monitor, "Cause" column is "Continuous" for every event:

All the docs that exist are at zoneminder.readthedocs.io. You can select the version of the docs down on the bottom left. FOr 1.36 you want the stable version. Latest refers to 1.37.

Sorry to bring up an old subject, but even selecting stable or latest, the "Getting Started" section references tabs and screens which aren't present in 1.36.xx version that I can tell. Specifically I am looking for the Recording tab under the "Adding Monitors" section. I don't have a Scan Network button etc. I have been following through setting up my first system and was wondering if there was documentation which showed these changes.

You need the stable docs. They should not be referencing those tabs.

Thanks for the reply iconnor. I checked again and stable is where the docs I am looking at are. It mentions the other tabs and buttons which aren't present.

Ugh you are right... readthedocs has gone crazy.

Oh wow... so readthedocs required a new config setup and I did it for master but never backported it to 1.36... so those don't build anymore. Yikes.

I'll have to see if I can get 1.36.36 released so it builds, but I won't be able to fix all the previous versions... crap.

In the interim, is there another location I can grab some of the documentation so I can work on it over the holidays?

You can grab the source of it from git..

then a make html in the docs directory will build the html.. or you make pdf or whatever.
