Replace the link to the Optimizely User Guide

The Optimizely (formerly Episerver) user interface has a link to the User Guide.

If you want to replace this link with your own, you can!

Step 1 - create your own UserGuideUrlProvider implementation

Return your preferred URL.

public class CustomUserGuideUrlProvider : UserGuideUrlProvider
{
    public CustomUserGuideUrlProvider(ICurrentUiCulture currentUiCulture, ServiceAccessor<RequestContext> requestContext) : base(currentUiCulture, requestContext)
    {

    }

    public override string Url => "https://www.gulla.net/en/blog/";
}

Step 2 - register your implementation with the DI container

[InitializableModule]
public class UserGuideInitializer : IConfigurableModule
{
    public void ConfigureContainer(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
    {
        context.Services.AddSingleton<UserGuideUrlProvider, CustomUserGuideUrlProvider>();
    }
}

Step 3 - update the link text (optional)

You can do this with an XML file as described earlier.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<languages>
  <language name="English" id="en">
	  <episerver>
		  <shell>
			  <ui>
				  <resources>
					  <menuprovider>
						  <userguide>My User Guide</userguide>
					  </menuprovider>
				  </resources>
			  </ui>
		  </shell>
	  </episerver>
  </language>
</languages>

The updated User Guide menu item with the custom link and link text.

That's it!
