Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Justin Potts [:justinpotts]]

Attachment: Mozillians- Search Results.png

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login to Mozillians
2. Go to https://www.mozillians.org/search/

Expected result:

Groups should be listed like: "group1, group2, group3... View 87 more."

Actual result:

Groups are listed as: "group1, group2, group3" and are all the way down the page, making the results page seem messy and unorganized..

Good bug, definitely needed.

This bug will need a specification for what happens when you click "View 87 more". 

* Does the url change? If so, to what? Is it paginated?
* If the URL stays the same, do you click "view 87 more" and get the same display as in attachment 1 [details] [diff] [review]?

I think when it is clicked, it should go to a new page that looks like mozillians.org/groups. This will make Mozillians seem more connected and structured, and help with the page layouts and organization. We wouldn't have to create a new page, and we would only have to route the link to a URL we already have built. Plus, all the groups are already listed there, so why not use it and save work?

OK, I built a first draft of some specs for this bug here:

https://mozillians.etherpad.mozilla.org/groups-search-specs-2014-04-29

Please review, ask questions, and comment on that etherpad. We'll aim to have this ready for coding in the next week so someone can pick it up if they want it.

I just reviewed the specs and new tickets and I feel a bit overwhelmed. I'm thinking I'll tackle the the bugs in the following order:

1) Bug 1004662
2) Bug 1004654 -- isn't Bug 1004656 more of just a result of this bug?

If it's too much, no problem: We can definitely find other bugs for you. Just say the word in that case.

Also, don't hesitate to contact :giorgos if you just need help getting over some obstacles. He's online in the mornings, Pacific time (in Europe). :sancus can help too.

Yes, but bug 1004656 describes how the results should look on the page.
