841490 - Show a glimpse of a comment as a tool-tip when linkifying "bug X comment Y"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1146763

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement)

Description

[Koosha KM]

Currently, bug 800000 and bug 800000 comment 2 both show the bug's description and status. It would be nice if bug 800000 comment 2 show instead a sub-string of comment 2 as a the tool-tip of the hyperlink. This way, the comment could be read or recalled without opening the mentioned bug.

I see this issue is still relevant, can I go on and implement it?

Comment 2

[Andre Klapper]

This task does not have an assignee set, so anyone can propose a patch.

okay great, I'll try sending a PR on github then. Will report back updates here.

Okay, so this needs a few things:


So each bug link, including ones to comments is 

https://github.com/bugzilla/bugzilla/blob/c67b3b303adba379f3625aa88a61d5fb49bd319d/template/en/default/bug/link.html.tmpl

the template variable comment_num will be true for a link to a bug comment.
The first part would be putting that info into some data attributes.

Now we have some choices to make... do we really want to load a blurb
for each referenced comment? or do we want to lazy-load them in JS?

For the later, we'd add the bug id and comment number to data- attributes on the a.bz_bug_link elements,
and need to add an API that can get comment blurbs. 

Note that this also require adding an internal API for getting "comment N of bug B" but I am more than happy to implement that part. :-)

Can be solved along with other hovercards.
