86268 - My Votes summary page need columns i.e. "Total for bug"

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Dwayne]

It's nice to know more information about each bug that you vote for.  I really
wish you could modify columns for this page just as you would a standard query.

For instance, I want to know how many votes the bugs I voted for have total;
it's not enough for me to know there's "at least one."

I have a feeling this will be lost in the shuffle because it's a bugzilla
enhancement bug, but it would be nice!  :)

I think it's a good idea to have information available here...  not sure if a 
"change columns" thing will ever happen, but it should certainly be possible to 
get total votes and total number of voters, etc.

This patch is against 2.12, I'll update it when 2.14 arrives.

This adds 2 new columns to the show-votes-for-user bit: a total votes for the
bug, and a total number of voters for the bug.

I couldn't think of any extra columns to add to the show-votes-for-bug bit --
are they any?

And no, you can't do any of that fancy modify columns behavior.

I also chose not to implement a 'people who voted for this bug also voted for
these other bugs...' feature -- perhaps another time :)
Can someone add the patch and review keywords please?

Is this going to let us make it easier to figure out which link is the "go to 
the bug" link and which is the "see who voted for this bug" link?  I could 
never remember which was the bug number and which was the summary.  I'd be much 
happier if the bug number could be "go to the bug" and one of the new columns 
could be "see who voted for this bug".

Attachment: Updated patch for 2.14 and a few more tweaks

OK, updated patch against 2.14 (cutting edge, me!)

1) This will probably conflict with the checked in fix for bug#95615

2) I have also taken the chance to fix bug#97590 (Jesse, this is the one about
the links being confusing.) I added a note to the effect at the start of the
page.

3) I think there is still a problem with layout here. The column titles are too
close together, but I couldn't get a nice set of borders or spacing to look OK
on both Mozilla & Netscape.

4) It also checks for no votes, and reports this, and does not give a Submit
button.

I don't think the note at the top of the page is necessary.  Bugzilla users can 
figure out that kind of thing :)

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

Comment 12

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Doing this requires extra DB queries - I checked when I did the templatisation.
The right way to fix this is to be able to query for all bugs on which I voted,
and have "votes" as a column in buglist.cgi.

We do not want to reinvent all the columns stuff in buglist.cgi for this page.

This is rather bitrotten.  It needs a new patch before it can be acted on.

[Ralf Hauser]

As per Dave's suggestion (from
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191538 and #3) in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192020), it would be great to also
show per product, the maximum votes as well as the votes needed to automatically
move from UNCO to NEW.

If these two additional columns to that page could also be linked with a quick
note by the product/component owner why the number was set to which level, that
would increase the transparency of the voting process even further.

Attachment: cvs tip patch to add 'total votes' and 'votes to confirm' columns

Updated for cvs tip.

Comment 17

[GavinS]

One of the new columns that last patch adds is a 'number of votes to
auto-confirm' column. However, if you are not logged in, and looking at
someone's votes (not yours), then this column does not work. Am investigating.
(But that's not say that the rest could not have a quick review...)

Comment 18

[GavinS]

The reason for the votes-to-confirm column not appearing when not logged in is
because of bug#193575

I have very little interest in the votes system; and the reporter indicates
that the patch doesn't completely work anyway.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004.  Anything flagged
enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out.  If this bug is
otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the
blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.

Comment 21

[Frédéric Buclin]

The trunk is now frozen to prepare Bugzilla 2.22. Only bug fixes are accepted, no enhancement bugs. As this bug has a pretty low activity (especially from the assignee), it's retargetted to ---. If you want to work on it and you think you can have it fixed for 2.24, please retarget it accordingly (to 2.24).

the 'show votes' link in the voting page resolves this issue.
