154321 - Bugzilla voting functions don't appear on non-Browser Products

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

Voting functions appear to be missing from bugs filed on such non-Browser
Products such as Chimera and mozilla.org.

Voting functions only appear for products for which they have been enabled,
which is not the case for the Chimera and mozilla.org components.

Myk, I'm fairly certain voting was enabled for Chimera prior to the upgrade.
What's the procedure to either a) determine whether or not it was, or b) get it
enabled?

Figuring out if it was or not requires me to do some painful database detective
work.  Getting it enabled is much easier.  It just requires filing a bug in the
"mozilla.org" product, "Bugzilla: other moz.org issues" requesting the change. 
Include your requested values for the following configuration parameters:

Votes per user 
Max Votes per bug 
Votes to confirm

Myk, if I do that, will any votes people had previously cast be preserved, or is
that data that will need to be retrieved from some old data store? I'm pretty
certain people had used the function to cast votes on Chimera bugs.

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Ok, I've done the detective work.  Voting wasn't enabled for Chimera bugs before
the upgrade, and there are no votes in the database for Chimera bugs.

Comment 6

[Greg K.]

Thanks, Myk. Sorry for the false alarm.

Comment 7

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

Maybe Chimera used to be a component in a voting product?  I know that's been
done way too much in the past, and would explain the confusion.

FYI, enablement request filed as bug 156839.
