173573 - Sort important products to top of list on query page

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

(b.m.o.-specific customisation)

We need to customise our template to sort the important products to the top of
the products list on the query page, and then pre-select Browser and MailNews.
This is what most people want, and it'll speed up searches.

This should work for b.m.o.

gerv: PSM is alo very important. Near all SSL bugs are going to Security:general
at the moment.

Patch v.1

>+              [% key_products_regexp = key_products.join("|") %]
>               [% FOREACH p = product %]
>+                [% NEXT IF p.name.match(key_products_regexp) %]

This doesn't work, even for bmo's limtied product list - "Browser
localisations" matches (Browser|MailNews), so that product won't get displayed
here

Thanks for making me think about this harder :-)

Bugs created between 2002-10-01 and 2002-10-08 now in the following components:
PSM:                     12
Chimera:                 90
Phoenix:                139
Mozilla Localizations:    2
Tech Evangelism:         36

I will remove "Mozilla Localisations" from the list of important products; but I
don't think PSM can make a case for being added.

Try this - the more conventional (and sensible) approach.

Patch v.2

The JavaScript code for updating the component, version, and milestone lists
assumes products are listed alphabetically (or at least according to some order
it knows).  After applying this patch, clicking "MailNews" causes Bugzilla's
components to appear, because Bugzilla was second in the list before this patch
made MailNews the second product.

Drat. :-) I'll investigate this tonight, but this may require too much
JavaScript surgery to do in time, which would suck. If anyone else wants to take
a shot at this, feel free.

I ran out of time last night and this morning as well. Help! :-)

When we rewrite the JS to fix bug 173583, then we'll be able to do this.

Unloved bugs targetted for 2.18 but untouched since 9-15-2003 are being
retargeted to 2.20
If you plan to act on one immediately, go ahead and pull it back to 2.18.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004.  Anything flagged
enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out.  If this bug is
otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the
blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.

Life has moved on past this bug.
