683312 - Update/Remove links in Mozilla Global Header/Footer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Other, defect)

Description

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Now that mozilla.com is no more and mozilla.org is the main domain, footer links on the Django template need to be update.

Old Link > New Link

The following links only changed from .com to .org and the rest of the URL structure stayed the same:

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/features/ > http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/features/

We also need to add Affiliates to the standard footer in the template for other non-affiliates django sites using the template.

Comment 2

Unassigning from a milestone. The global header will soon be changing, and this change will be affected by how that changes.

Comment 3

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

Marking as WONTFIX. The library we use for the header and footer is woefully out of date and used by very few sites. Given the desire for a site redesign anyway, and the fact that the links still work, the effort isn't worth it.

Comment 4

[Chris More [:cmore]]

There is recent concern about the footer links in Affiliates and other websites that use the global footer because of the obsolete links or projects that will soon change many of the URLs.

Couldn't we just remove everything in this file:

https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/blob/master/menu_links.html

Or remove the reference to menu_links here:

https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/blob/master/footer.html

We don't do a link farm in the footer of our websites anymore as it is what Tabzilla is used for.

Affiliates.mozilla.org, nightly.mozilla.org, and addons.mozilla.org appear to be the only sites using this footer and thus they all have the same problem with the links.

Can this wait until the re-design is implemented?

This change is not on Affiliates as the footer in Affiliates is part of the global footer that as only ever used by a few Mozilla websites. Most sites have moved away from the legacy footer. This change doesn't happen on the Affiliates code-base or repository, but it would require a push of Affiliates to make it live. AMO/nightly would also see the change when they push their website.

The PMM team wants the links to go away and the pages linked there are being redirected so it will be more confusing soon once that happens.

Sounds good then :)

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Clouser: If we remove these legacy product links on the global footer that is being phased out, it will should also affect the footer on AMO. Are you fine with pulling these links out of the global footer? The next time AMO pushes, it should update AMO.

Comment 11

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

No worries from me, I'm not sure if we'll need to manually update our global footer pull.  Let me know when you pull them out and we'll check it out.

Comment 12

[Chris More [:cmore]]

I submitted a pull request for this change: https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/pull/17

Comment 13

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Also, opened up this PR:

https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/pull/18

Both PRs closed and merged. AMO, Affiliates, and Nightly just need to be pushed to update their reference to the global footer.

Affiliates stage is update: https://affiliates.allizom.org/en-US/

Wil: Do you want to update AMO dev to preview the footer change?

Comment 14

[Chris More [:cmore]]

I just realized that the same links are in the global header too. arrr.

Header content for the global nav seems to be only used on nightly.mozilla.org and affiliates.mozilla.org.

Content here:

https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/blob/unified/header.html

https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/blob/master/menu_links.html (

:jbertsch: What should we do about the header on Affiliates and nightly? Remove everything?

Comment 15

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

Affiliates footer has been updated with the removed links: https://affiliates.mozilla.org/

Comment 16

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

AMO has a pull request: https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/pull/1620

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Chris, should we close this bug?

Comment 18

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Yes. I will close.
