575770 - Individual feedbacks should be linkable

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Input :: General, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

It would be really nice to be able to share specific feedbacks by linking to them  (in much the same way one can link to individual tweets on Twitter). This might help encourage sharing bits of Input feedback on social sites, too...

Aye, I just noticed that as well. A quick work around is to search for a set of words in the message that will show only that one result and link from there.

That's a very good idea, especially considering the bugs we've already got on showing additional information. A feedback item's page could show all the data we have on it.

Instead of dedicating a page to this, an idea I like is to allow users to copy the message/build id and URL (if submitted) to their clipboard and paste wherever they like. What do you think, Dolske?

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Hmm, doesn't really have the same effect.

But I'm also a little less keen on my original idea, since unlike Tweets there's not much associated content, Input feedbacks are just a comment in isolation. This would be more interesting if it was possible to see all of a specific user's feedbacks.

Still, being able to link at a comment could be useful, if person A wants to show a comment to person B. At the moment, it'll be easily buried. With a permalink, you can show it to people.

Yep, another option could be POSTing to pastebin if it's possible.

If we're not going to make this linkable right now, we should push it out of 1.5. Copying the text works like on any other web site.

Permalinks still don't work in search feeds:
