417722 - Make add-on details page work for search engines

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

The add-ons details page should work (at all) and behave somehow nicely for search engines, in spite of their subtle differences to regular extensions.

I removed the restrictions we had in place for the "search" addontype (SVN r10577). The details page is now shown. Some of them still seem to have weird data (names, release notes etc.) in them, yet that's not the scope of this bug.

Also not that dictionaries and plugins keep not having an add-on page at this time.

Verified using https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4594; Fred: do we need a bug for "dictionaries and plugins keep not having an add-on page at this time."

All I see is bug 416779...

Stephen: Looks like we need to address that in tomorrow's meeting: Neither of these are currently planned to have an add-on page (which doesn't imply that this is good which is why we should discuss it). In particular the dictionaries page is currently not laid out to have any links to details pages for dictionaries.
