95178 - Implement tooltip for bug-links in bonsai

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: Bonsai, enhancement)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

It would be nifty if all checkin-comments containing a bug# would use the bug's
summary as the tooltip. Like in bugzilla.

Comment 1

[Jacob Steenhagen]

Yes, it would... but being that at mozilla.org bonsai and bugzilla are on
different machines, it'd be a little difficult :)

Comment 2

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Use LWP::UserAgent and query the bugzilla interface via the web, just like the
bots do. :-)

Then again, that would slow down the page generation pretty significantly if you
have to wait for a web query for every bug number mentioned.

Asa needs a way to automatically give tooltips to buglinks in the build bar 
(http://mozillazine.org/build_comments/).  Bonsai and the build bar should 
probably use the same mechanism to get the bug summaries and statuses from 
bugzilla.

a generic service that could be used by other pages like bonsai, the mozilla
status page, duplicates.cgi, the Mozilla release notes, and the buildbar at
mozillazine would be ideal. I'm sure there are a few other web pages that would
benefit from such a service.

unsetting version so that Bugzilla specific versions can be removed from the
Webtools Product.

[Robert Pollak]

Remark to myself: It shouldn't be too difficult to create a bookmarklet that
takes the bonsai result page (or any page; this could also be useful for release
notes), collects alls bug ids (eg. 123456, 14711, 10815) and shows the composed
buglist <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=123456%2C14711%2C10815>.

Robert: there's already a bookmarklet called "collect buglinks" that does that.
 You can use it with "buglinkify", which turns all non-linked integers on a page
and turns them into bug links.  Both bookmarklets are on
http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/mozilla.html.

This sounds quite obsolete. Is Bonsai still alive?
