502025 - Create and implement modules on the sidebar template for the new start page

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Currently, the sidebar has the modules hard coded in (this was done for quick set up of the test). We need to allow the sidebar modules to be assigned from tiki-admin_modules.php

Attachment: patch, v1 (needs sidebar modules created and asisgned)

Comment 2

Attachment: sidebar modules content

This is the content for the sidebar modules. You need to create the modules with the same name and assign them in the same order to theme=mozms2.css

This could even make it into 1.2.1 but I don't want to over-clutter it. David/Laura: what do you think?

Waited to see it pushed. Here we go:
https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Home+page+new

I also created the modules and assigned them properly on production, but no page to display them exists yet. We will need to create the template on production after push.

Looking at:
https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-theme_control_objects.php?offset=0&sort_mode=theme_desc
Theme mozms2.css has been assigned to "Firefox Help 4" but the article has been deleted. We may want to delete this assignment or re-create the page for testing when time comes.

Assignment deleted. :-)

So, Chris, is this as good as verified?  I've already tested this page for layout in another bug.

Comment 7

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

I don't know. How is this tested?

Comment 8

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Pretty much make sure it looks as it did before. The change should only be apparent in the backend since we can now control the modules on the sidebar.

I created <https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/bug+502025+test> in the sandbox, and assigned it to mozm2.css. I get two instances of each sidebar item.

I can confirm that the modules "waysgethelp", "promotebox", and "wantgetinvolved" are assigned to mozms2.css at <https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-admin_modules.php?locale=en-US>.

If I edit "waysgethelp", I can see the change in the second "Ways to get help" to get help box on <https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/bug+502025+test>. When I do the same on support-stage, I can see the change on <https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox+Help+4>.

We should also test the interface translator on this.

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Since this hasn't been pushed to prod, what you're saying is expected. The old version had the sidebar modules hard coded at the top (we rolled it out quickly).

Translation should work as with any other modules. You may test on stage.

Looks good on https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox+Help+4; what's there to test, regarding translation?

Verified FIXED; I'll keep an eye out for regressions.
