Description

About the solutions discussed in this pr

The content we discussed in this link. My intention is not to add all old implementations to all the new features.
Because all versions of official documents in UI are linked to the latest version.

I find the code and resolution, perhaps we should link it to the corresponding version official document when we release the new version
like this

I'm not sure if those JSON files are dynamically created, I'm just determined that the source of the UI link is from here after I checked the Skywalking UI's code.

So it's just a demo, I don't want to submit a PR, maybe this change needs to be discussed.

I suggest adding this feature to 9.3.0.
And I also suggest the UI's LOGO or copyright should mark the current version, it will very helpful for new user

Use case

Every release should be linked to the corresponding version official document when we release the new version.

 We would not simply change that JSON in the runtime or use a variable. Because this JSON is generated from UI's edit mode.

[JohnDuncan5171]

Yep. So if those JSON files are dynamically created, we should change the graph.url generator.
like "url":"https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/{version:latest}/en/setup/backend/backend-mysql-monitoring/"

do our best to provide an accurate document

[wu-sheng]

Not that simple. UI is using the same GraphQL query to get the current value, so, when you do so, UI would show https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/{version:latest}/en/setup/backend/backend-mysql-monitoring/ for the link.

Then, link fails. (404)

[JohnDuncan5171]

You are right, of course not that simple. I mean that's just a grammar demo.
I'm not good for the front end. That's why I suggest discussing it.

[wu-sheng]

The difficulty is not about changing UI. The thing is, we don't have an API to provide a service like this, and we never think we should make things so complex. Read doc with the version you prefer/need, we assume this is a basic requirement for oss users.

Also, when you take a look Function menu, it even links to a 3rd party page.
Aliyun gateway team is planning to contribute a dashboard for their gateway service too. If they really do, we have to link it to an Aliyun dev doc page as well.

You can see, as a widely adopted project, this is not a simple tech solution.

[JohnDuncan5171]

You're right, this tech solution can't promise every created link all right. Any 404 link will be devastating for oss.

I'm too naive for this. In essence, it is about Robust/Investment and returns/Generic

I am going to convert this to a discussion, nd close this.
For now. we don't have a good solution for above challenges.
