Help file missing when creating a new user (General account options - Licence)

[Dominique-Alain JAN]

Help file is missing and an error is displayed when accessing the help icon for the item

  General account options > Licence

when the admin wants to create a new user

  Administation menu > Users > Add user

The error displayed is "An error occurred trying to retrieve the help page."

Seen on 17.04 but this error may also be in previous versions as well.

Thanks for reporting this, dajan. It seems like it's been missing for a while. We'll get it back in for 17.10.

It might never have been there. The text that should be displayed is the same as under Account settings -> Default license.

How to replicate:

1. Go to Administration -> Configure site -> Site options -> General settings.
2. Switch "License metadata" to "Yes".
3. Go to Administration -> Users -> Add a user.
4. Click "General account options" and then the help icon next to "Default license".

Expected result: A proper help file is displayed.
Actual result: An error message is shown instead.

The help file content is at htdocs/lang/en.utf8/help/forms/accountprefs.licensedefault.html
