169819 - remove "This is Bugzilla: the Mozilla bug system. For more information..." from footer.html.tmpl

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

I'm trying to free up some wasted realestate on bmo. The text "This is Bugzilla:
the Mozilla bug system. For more information..." at the top and bottom of each
bugzilla page needs to go. The stuff at the top must be local to bmo but what's
in the footer is in the bugzilla tree.

Here's a patch that removed it from the footer template.

We should add a little "Bugzilla Info" link to the Actions section of the
footer.  It can link to http://www.bugzilla.org/ (in the tree anyway).  The URL
for it to link to could probably be a param in case someone wants to do
something site-specific (like b.m.o probably wants it to point at
http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ for example.  Then again, it's in a template,
someone can change the URL in the template :-)

Actually, the 'actions' section is becoming a bit bloated. You're going to run
over the edit prefs section, once teh review link is added, too.

We already have the link in the header; do we need it in the footer too?

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Why don't we do something like I suggested? If we want to keep a link somewhere
then how about we linkify the banner or the "Bugzilla version 2.x" string?

asa: DAve pointed out to me in #mozwebtools that the text in teh header isn't
part of the default - its a bmo customisation

The version string is also part of bmo customisation, although I've been
thinking about making it part of the default.

Try this. Note that the 'Actions' thing doesn't line up with the 'New |
Query...' stuff in mozilla. Thats bug 167236, apparently recently fixed.

It never did line up, but its a lot more noticable now, esp when you're not
logged in (or have no preset queries), and so only have the one line of text in
the table.

Go for it.

I think the "This is Bugzilla" in the black banner at the top is going to look
corny, but that'll probably just help convince people to customize their
headers :-)

Fixed in CVS.

When bmo updates, it will probably have to merge this with its custom template.
