Would be nice to have a direct link to your votes from the initial screen.

Instead of just adding that link, why not add the entire yellow box to the bottom of the initial screen?

Good idea. That probably would have been the topic of this bug in the first place, but when this bug was first introduced the yellow box did not exist.

tara@tequilarista.org is the new owner of Bugzilla and Bonsai. (For details, see my posting in netscape.public.mozilla.webtools, news://news.mozilla.org/38F5D90D.F40E8C1A%40geocast.com .)

Mozilla.org customization (I don't think anybody else uses votes anyway). Not going to do this for core.

I think you should put the footer on the initial screen in the core. That would solve a whole set of generic problems.

Doing this would require having the initial screen be a cgi file instead of an html. However, you could real easily customize it by using a single template HTML file with %replacements% in it for things like the header and footer from parms, and then have your index.cgi file just read that in, swap the replacements for the real data, and spit it back out to the browser.

Why not change the initial screen to a cgi file? Why not just have it output the main screen HTML followed by the footer?

Endico: Are you considering this bug (it has a high number of votes) for a mozilla.org customisation at any point? If not, it can be closed WONTFIX, as Tara has stated it won't make it into the main distribution. Gerv

Tara said she didn't want to include "my votes" link on the front page because many bugzilla installations don't use votes. She didn't say anything about including the footer on the main page, which seems to be what most of us really want.

Adding default QA contact to all open Webtools/Bugzilla bugs lacking one. Sorry for the spam.

What's the status of this? To me this is very important. If I used Bugzilla on a regular basis (which I wish I had time for), it could save me up to 25 seconds a day, or just over 2 1/2 hours a year. Thanks

2.14's release date is "soonish", and this is listed as P2 for 2.16, which to me means that unless this becomes really difficult to implement it is a release blocker for that release. The release date of 2.16 is currently unknown (our release criteria are currently feature based), and as there's no patch on this bug yet the checkin date of this feature is also very much currently unknown. It is strongly likely, however, that 2.16 will be released (with this feature) within 6 months. If you're using mozilla.org, its quite possible you'll see this sometime before the release. If not, you should be able to take the checked in patch that will eventually appear on this bug even before then and apply it to your installation, or simply update to the CVS version if you're feeling lucky.

This got assigned to endico because Tara said it was a moz.org issue. But it's not, so I'm taking it back :) Doesn't necessarily mean I'll be the one to fix it, but there's more of the relevant people making use of the email watch feature watching me.

*** Bug 28702 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This is basically a dupe of the "index.cgi" bug. Can someone who knows what that is dupe it, please? :-) Gerv

Certainly :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80183 ***

How is this "place footer on initial page" bug a duplicate of "configurable index page (using template toolkit)"? I can see how this bug *depends* on bug 80183 but not how it is a *duplicate*. IMHO, someone authorized should reopen this bug.

Johan, it looks like bug 80183 is going to be fixed for Bugzilla 2.16 (the next version), so there's no need to keep this bug open.

clearing milestone for invalid/wontfix/worksforme/duplicate so they'll show up as untriaged if they get reopened.
