339162 - bring back the quick install button on search pages

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, enhancement)

Description

[Charli Li (winsxs)]

Before the change, the AMO website had quick install buttons on the search results and category pages.  Now, the behavior has changed.  Users of AMO now have to go to the theme/extension page to click the install button, in which I think is a waste of time.

Also, please do not screw up the quick install links.

WONTFIX I think. Installing from the search page doesn't show important compatibility information, developers notes etc. It's just a single click to go to the addon's page...

This is correct: The behavior is intentional for Remora.

Comment 3

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

We are planning to implement this with the Remora user experience revamp, as seen in the mockups here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Remora_UI_Review/Mockups/Home_Page/search_results_2007-06-25/

Ah, I remember now. Reopening, sorry. While this was intentional before, it'll change with the UE revamp, okay.

Setting target for v3.2 as shown in the mockups @ http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Remora_UI_Review/Mockups/Home_Page/2007-09-12_revisions/#Search_Results_Page and requirements @ http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:RequirementsV32

If we pull out install file data with search results this could add overhead when pulling version and file metadata.  So we should be careful about performance.

Attachment: Install button in addon_listitem

This patch pulls in files for addon lists and displays an install button on the lists then. Note that this patch is for the 3.2 branch.

Morgamic, please review since you are waiting for this code IIRC.

Works for me.  Let's get this checked in.

I committed this to the 3.2 redesign branch, SVN r9751. This is FIXED, but please let me know if problems occur.

Verified; they're back.  There might be some issues with IE or Opera wrt install buttons, but there is template/CSS work that I'd like to see finished before I more fully test with those browsers, and I'll file spin-off bugs then anyway.
