Build ID: 2002-04-10, all OSs. Summary: news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news Steps to Reproduce: 1. With no previous news accounts set up, enter news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news into the browser's url field. 2. Type in your username/email, hit Next. 3. Look at the Server name box on the next screen. Expected Results: It should say 'news.mozilla.org' Actual Results: It's blank. The reason it should be filled is this is an auto-subscribe URL.

This is a regression that occured as a result of the new <wizard> widget. It's not major, but it makes auto-subscribe a whole lot nicer.

marking nsbeta1- per mail triage.

*** Bug 147695 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Renominate for [adt rtm]. This breaks CCK's NNTP pre-configuration.

Discussed in Mail News bug meeting. Decided to minus this bug.

Tao- can you confirm that this bug directly impacts feature we are building for the road runner project? We need to have more discussions before we minus this- the impact is potentially 1 MM users to Netscape.

Per Jeff: "From an enterprise standpoint this is an ADT1 issue under the 'requirement on PRD' and 'major loss of functionality' criteria.". This regression breaks spec-ed feature in PRD.

Desired/correct functionality for customized clients -Default unchecked In New/Fresh Install: - If a user leaves this unchecked, the homepage is left as is in the prefs file. Default distributor home url (as set by cck tool) remains unchanged. - If a user check this box, the home page is changed to home.netscape.com address default to 7.0. Acceptable senario for established End User with new custom install: - If a user leaves this unchecked, the homepage is left as set by default distributor. IDEAL in this case for established End user with new custom install: - User is presented with two check boxes, both default unchecked. NOTE: User can leave unchecked or check one, but not both. Box 1- Make my homepage xxxx (text set by distributor) Box 2- Make Netscape.com my homepage - If a user checks box 1, homepage is changed to url provided by distributor. - If a user checks box 2, homepage is changed to netscape.com - If user leaves both unchecked, homepage retained from old profile. I realize this last one is an enhancement of a feature. I'd like to see what is involved to make the ones above happen for RTM.

opps wrong bug. please ignore this comment- I had too many windows open at once.

reassigning to naving.

The fix is to assign the hostname value if we have one in the server page. I had to initialize that ispData to null so that we can initialize pageData with acct information from invalid acct.

bhuvan, Can I get r=? thx.

Hi, Naving: thanks for looking into this bug. Hi, Bom-Shik: would you please verify that the patch also fix CCK's news server setting problem? thx!

David, can you sr ? thx.

Comment on attachment 87608 [details] [diff] [review] proposed fix I thought js variables were automatically initialized to null. The other change looks fine, however, so sr=bienvenu.

bienvenu - see http://people.netscape.com/stephend/js.html for a null vs. undefined testcase I wrote

Navin, Also, I think you should add a try catch block around the new code so that cases where there is no pageData for newsserver will not halt the wizard progress. Bhuvan

I checked if there is no newsserver it throws the exception saying newsserver has no properties but doesn't stall the wizard.

fixed on trunk

Get on driver's radar, too.

Let's get this verified on the trunk. blee, can you make sure this solves the configuration tool's problems?

Trunk build 2002-06-17: WinMe, Linux RH 7.1, Mac 10.1.3 Verified Fixed, the news server was displayed in the Account Wizard using the following test scenarios: 1. New profile, autoscribe: ok 2. New profile, configure for a Mail account, then autosubscribe: ok 3. Migrate a profile which is configured for mail and the "news" server. Autosubscribe to news.mozilla.org: ok 4. Migrate a profile which is configured for news.mozilla.org, remove news.mozilla.org, exit/restart, autosubscribe: ok but it takes 15 minutes on my system for the Account Wizard to appear and 3-5 minutes on Esther's WinXP system. I will log this issue in a different bug.

I tried this out by pointing 6/17 CCK to the blob installer of 06-17-12 trunk bld, but NNTP server setting still does not not show up in the custom bld.

Per tao's suggestion, I copied newsaccount.rdf (created by CCK 6.2) in /default/isp(/us) of 06-17-12 trunk bld and it displayed the custom content correctly. That verifies this bug is fixed. Sorry about the confusion. The .rdf file is attached here.

It probably doesn't skip the wizardpanels (as requested in the rdf file) still. Skipping panels meaning jumping from identity page to Congratulations/Done page. I have fixed this part in the patch for bug 144562.
