Hey,

so, I fixed this now, in the sense that the TOC is now back in these classic API type and module pages.

I renamed the old a bit wordily named "Functions Signatures" and "Functions Documentation" to Overview and Functions (or Methods for classes) . Opposed to the old pre 2024.3 TOCs (which were completely broken in many ways), these categories now also show up in the TOC:

The old Types and Inheritance section has been merged into root element as I do not see a good reason why it should appear in the middle of the page. The obvious thing would be to now add links to the individual elements on a page, so that you can quick-jump to a particular function. But that turned out to be not so easy with the mess we made there before and stubborn docutils. As evident by the C4DAtom example and other cases our TOC trees are very broken in this part of the docs and I now already almost spent two days with fixing things to this state.

This will be shipped in the current state with the next release of Cinema 4D. When I have some time to waste, I will try to add the function links.

⚠ The manual and maxon API TOCs are unaffected by this, they continue to work as intended. The classic API does its own thing here (as always 😄 ) which why this is such a mess.

Hey @no1astrologer,

this will be fixed in the next release.

Dear Community,

as always, things took me a little bit longer than expected, but links on the forum should be patched now. All postings should correctly display attachments and references to downloads and the docs should also correctly resolve again.

I also scanned the forum and removed or translated URLs. This concerns for once legacy ASP.net forum URLs which have been replaced with the matching NodeBB URL (to be found in the Legacy Forum, e.g., here). Removed have also been a substantial amount of non-resolving URLs. Most relevant are here links into our old developers.maxon.net platform, such as download and posting links. They cannot be mapped to new content hand therefore had to be removed. For such postings you find then find [URL-REMOVED] markup in the postings to signal where links have been removed. Find an example here.

Finally, I have also replaced all legacy documentation links ( /docs/Cinema4DCPPSDK/... and /docs/Cinema4DPythonSDK/...) from before we distinguished between versions in our online docs. While legacy links will continue to resolve, e.g., link, you should always use the new URL scheme.

There will be no further maintenance work on the forum in the near future.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hey @everyone,

It has come to our attention that some people have problems accessing developers.maxon.net. The site is not down but failure is also not completely unexpected for us. In case you run into such problems, a console dump from your browser would be much appreciated, so that we can find out the reasons.

This is likely a side effect of the current work done on the servers, and it will be over by the end of November. For everyone one who ist stranded in the meantime, here is a link to the current the offline docs.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Dear Community,

I have fixed the bug in the search both of the on- and offline version of the 2024.0.0 C++ documentation. Please download the offline version again.

Hey @Dunhou,

yeah, I already saw and fixed that in the course of answering this.

Cheers,
