Where has the Continental Nodes web tutorial / documentation gone?

[takbb]

The primary tutorial documentation for the Continental Nodes has moved/disappeared from the KNIME web site

As you will see from the following FAQ page, there used to be links to:

https://www.knime.com/community/continental-nodes-for-knime-xls-formatter?

---

But if you follow that link now, you just get to the generic developer extensions page
https://www.knime.com/community/continental-nodes-for-knime-xls-formatter?

This page is also referenced in a number of posts in the KNIME Community forum
e.g.

Continental Nodes - HELP! Cannot figure out how to use!

The set of nodes is full of options. I’d suggest that you first check this page: Continental Nodes for KNIME — XLS Formatter Nodes | KNIME where you can find and explanation of how the nodes are build and work, after that check he workflow @ScottF suggested. And of course come back here later if you have problems

Excel Formating

@helpmeplease welcome to the KNIME forum. I am not sure there is a consistent introduction about the Continental nodes. I have not done much with them but it seems you have to grasp the concept of this “control table” it seems. Then there is the free book “From Excel to KNIME” which also has a chapter about Continental nodes. This also might be a good pint to start understanding the concept. [image] the book is also available in other languages like German, Spanish and Portuguese: Ano…

Currently any new user wishing to use the Continental Nodes will be lacking in available documentation. As I recall, as well as providing an overview, it detailed what a “Control table” is, and how to create one. Without that basic information, the Continental Nodes are rendered unusable.

Can the original page(s) be “recovered” and the link made available again ?

Dear Brian (@takbb),
Thanks for pointing out this issue. I also tried to reach the documentation via these links and can confirm they are broken. However, we still have a local backup of the documentation content. @ScottF and @gab1one, who of the KNIME team could best help us bringing this content online again?
Best regards
Arne

Thanks @arbe! I’m very pleased to hear the documentation isn’t lost.

Hi folks! Thanks for bringing this up, and sorry that it happened in the first place. We’re working on fixing it, it was a mistake on our side during some web site cleanup.

Apologies!

[ScottF]

This has been fixed now. Sorry again for the trouble!

[takbb]

Thanks @ScottF. All good now!
