[TYPO3-english] Re: trouble with Sphinx manual, kickstart has disappeared

Hi Muriel,

It's getting trickier and trickier to get it properly converted since it
needs to be converted for rendering as HTML and well... as you say it's
"old", even if "good" (for you).

Sorry, cannot help, did just yet another test right now while answering,
and could not reproduce in 6.2. You'll have to debug it yourself I fear.

The "kickstart" tab is only shown if at least one extension is found
without any manual as you can only kickstart a manual for an extension
having no manuals. If you want a custom project, use the first tab, if
you want to convert an existing manual, use the (last) tab. If you want
to kickstart a manual anyway, even if an existing manual exists, well,
quickest option is certainly to (temporarily) remove the existing manual.

Kind regards
