1567394 - Make it easier to access issue tracker from Pontoon app

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

From Pontoon app, it's hard to figure out where to file bugs for Pontoon.

The homepage links to GitHub repo, which links to Bugzilla, but the homepage is hardly accessible for logged in contributors, because they use custom homepages.

Since actual users are probably more likely to need to file bugs than random bypassers, maybe we could add the link to GitHub/Bugzilla to the profile menu.

I wonder if we should like to the discourse category, and add bug-filing info to https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/about-the-pontoon-category/26066

abowler2: Since you've already completed a mentored bug, let's sync on IRC to find you something else as a next step.

juan: Since kathiekim95 was here before, I've assigned the bug to her. Let's sync on IRC to find you a bug to work on! In the meantime, you can prepare by installing Pontoon locally using Docker.

kathiekim95: I've assigned the bug to you! Please let me know if you have any questions, either here or in #pontoon on IRC. You can start by installing Pontoon locally using Docker. Once you have a working local environment, please make sure to read our contribution docs. It contains information on how to style code, how to run tests, how to name your commits, etc. All the things you need to know if you want your work to be merged into Pontoon!

Thank you @Matjaz, I have already set up the local development. I am now working on figuring out where on the profile menu to add the link to GitHub/Bugzilla

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

Great!

I suggest you add two links right above "Help":

• "Hack it on GitHub", linking to https://github.com/mozilla/pontoon/
• "Give Feedback", linking to https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/pontoon

You should also try to find matching icons on FA.

Matjaz, I noticed all the links on the user's profile open on the same tab when clicked, can I work on it such that when clicked, it opens on a different tab?

Comment 9

[kathiekim95]

I am suggesting I redirect Terms of use, hack it on Github, Give feedback and help to a different page when clicked, then for settings and sign out I will leave it as it is. What do you think @matjaz?

[Matjaz Horvat [:mathjazz]]

That's a great idea, kathiekim95!

Please also add rel="noopener noreferrer" to links with the target="_blank" attribute.
