645098 - Facebook badges: Link shared badges back to tab

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Websites :: Facebook, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

A user clicking a shared badge on a profile or newsfeed is currently taken to mozilla.com. We'd like for these badge posts to point to the Firefox 4 tab instead and encourage more badge sharing.

Current link: http://www.mozilla.com/
New link: http://www.facebook.com/Firefox?sk=app_122300121174636

If there's a way we can add a URL parameter for tracking which badge designs bring in the most clicks back to the tab, it would be awesome to add that in as well. Thanks!

I'd like to get the link updated and pointing to the Custom Tab asap, please.

I'll take this one, as it's a one-line change.

From a verification perspective (QA), what should be done to verify tracking is working correctly?

Not sure at the moment. Zach can respond to comment 0 to let us know what is possible and how we can expect to track.

trunk: r86438
stage: r86440.

Matt, will you test this on the Firefox 4 staging app?

Also, is this okay to go live with the Mobile launch, or are we looking to release this beforehand?

Not marking this FIXED until we've figured out these two things.

QA verified fixed ... thanks for the quick turn-around on landing that patch.
