Hi, I am installing RT 4.4.1 and trying to RT-OnlineDocs 1.1 to it. But the install gives an error, saying it only
for versions older than 4.2.0

Is there a newer version available for 4.4.1 ?

Error:

root@rt2:/opt/rt441/src/RT-OnlineDocs-1.1> perl Makefile.PL
Cannot determine perl version info from lib/RT/OnlineDocs.pm

**** Error: Your installed version of RT (4.4.1) is too new; this extension
only works with versions older than 4.2.0.

Thanks !

I downloaded the dist and tried it out, it looks like the menu location where it is coded to display no longer exists. To get it running I commented out the line that says 4.4 is too new and moved the menu item to Admin > Tools. After that it worked for me:

Thanks ! I will give that a try.

You can also generate HTML from RTs docs using the same tool we use for the docs site. The script is available in devel/tools/rt-static-docs and you can see the options on the docs site. If you create the directory share/static/html, you could try running:

perl -Ilib devel/tools/rt-static-docs --to share/static/html/

You’ll then see a page at https://myrt/static/html/index.html. The main thing it’s missing is the styling.
