422833 - KB link in breadcrumbs should point to wiki-rankings

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(support.mozilla.org :: Knowledge Base Software, task)

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

At the top of every KB page, there is "Home » Firefox Support » Knowledge Base  » Article name".

The Knowledge Base bas link currently goes to tiki-browse_categories.php.
It should go to tiki-wiki_rankings.php, like we do on the front page.

The breadcrumbs lists the category of the article you're on, and links to a listing of things in that category. tiki-wiki_rankings lists articles in all categories.

With this change, you'd be linking to the same page regardless of category.

From what I can tell, the ?limit=500&categId=1 parameter works on tiki-wiki_rankings.php as well; so the link would lead to:
<http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-wiki_rankings.php?limit=500&categId=1>

(Just like the start page)

Nope, check the bottom of the list. There's http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/*Assistive+technology+compatibility

I don't know why a few articles are there, which should not be; but categId=1 /does/ work. I remember this being addressed long ago. The number of total articles (from all categories) is much more than 189. There are many articles from other categories which do not appear in the list. And if you set it to something else (eg. categId=20), it does work.

This seems like an easy fix: just update the link from http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-browse_categories.php?locale=%LOCALE%&parentId=1 to http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-wiki_rankings.php?locale=%LOCALE%&limit=500&categId=1

Attachment: Make KB breadcrumb point to wiki_rankings

Edited the default webroot/templates/categpath.tpl and threw it into webroot/templates/styles/mozkb/categpath.tpl.

This patch will only point to the wiki rankings for KB breadcrumbs. That was the intended behavior, right? Also, unless you specify a limit only the top 10 articles will be displayed. Do we have a limit we want to use? 25?

Comment 7

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

Yes, that's the intended behaviour. :-) The limit should be 500.

Verified FIXED:

https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How+to+clear+Search+bar+history has:

<a class="categpath" href="/tiki-wiki_rankings.php?locale=en-US&amp;limit=500&categId=1" title="browse category">Knowledge&nbsp;Base</a>

Not sure why tiki_discuss was flagged here.

I now understand: SUMO uses the category path feature as breadcrumbs (not the "real" breadcrumb feature.

ok, can be upstreamed as an option.
