847448 - Add url field (bug_file_loc) to form.doc

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

We would like the form.mdn form for submitting documentation requests to accept a new field:

The field (called "MDN Page to Update") should accept a URL of a page on MDN (so it should always be https://developer.mozilla.org/ plus something).

The field is optional.

This field should be able to be filled out by a query string when the form is loaded. What we'd like to do is be able to put a button on pages on MDN that would let users submit a problem report, and have that field automatically filled out.

When this query is used, the "Request Type" should automatically be set to "Correction" as well.

it'll best to simply expose the bug_file_loc field in the mdn format, which is bugzilla's internal name for the 'url' field.

An example to test the new field you can do:

Ah man, I'm sorry. I meant "form.doc" not "form.mdn". I'm an idiot. This change is for the doc request form (form.doc) rather than the site bug form. Sorry!

No problem. Will work up a diff patch and put it up for feedback.

I have upload the needed changes to the doc form to our test instance for your feedback.

You can add a URL to the form by appending ?bug_file_loc=https://bugzilla.mozilla.org etc.

Seems to work great; thanks! I look forward to seeing it land (presumably next Wednesday night?).

As luck would have it, we have to do a second push this week due to another critical bug so it may go out tonight.
