Template:SupportPage/testcases

Use this page to test changes to the Template:SupportPage/sandbox until
 * you're confident that they are ready for the real Template:SupportPage.

Examples cover different ways of supplying the data required to build the
 * URL(s) for each vendor.

Arris
Look up products here and copy the "p=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" from the URL

ASUS
A combination of Template:ProductPage and Template:SupportPage is currently being tested in the Sandbox.


 * Some links require a specific region like "us" other times it is optional
 * Some products, especially updated revisions of existing products,
 * only have a support page and require "supportonly" in the URL


 * Non-networking products may require that the product type be specified.
 * "Single-Board-Computer" for example

D-Link
vs_id is currently unused.

Encore

 * These don't work. New links resemble: http://www.encore-usa.com/products_detail_165.htm (Wireless product)

Netgear (NETGEAR)
Older style links used a vs_id variable but now only the model is required.

Linksys

 * Template link outdated ??
 * Linksys changed to using a unique product ID (pid) variable instead of model names in the URL. Many pages which only have a model specified will need to be updated manually with the pid. The template shows "outdated" for these pages that need to have a pid added.

USRobotics

 * Old links: http://www.usr.com/support/product-template.asp?prod=1120
 * New links resemble: http://www.usr.com/en-support/product?prod=1120
 * Old links redirect to new links but the SupportPage template has now been updated to use the new link format anyways.
