"Voting" isn't really part of the core concept of defect tracking, and could easily become a plugin for Bugzila instead of being a core feature. This would possibly also help out with the fact of voting not really being maintained currently, in Bugzilla.

As said in bug 156174 comment 5 (and confirmed by bug 156174 comment 6), the "confirm by popular vote" feature is silly, as users who should be allowed to confirm bugs have canconfirm privs already. So if we remove this bit of the voting system, this would make the extension much easier to write, especially with bug 162060 being checked in. Would someone object to remove the "confirm by popular vote" feature before we move the voting system into an extension?

Max, any objection to this being reassigned to nobody so it's clear that a student can work on it?

No objection. However, in the Bugzilla product, just reassign to the default assignee, because it's a watching account.

Okay, given that a few of the enhancement requests with the highest votes in the Bugzilla product are related to the voting system, I think that I'm going to fix this, now that the blocker is fixed.

Here's a work in progress. I don't even know if this compiles, but I've moved pretty much everything out of Bugzilla::Bug, Bugzilla::Product, and votes.cgi.

Please take comment 2 into account, and also because you can set the bug status back to UNCO even when a bug has enough votes to confirm, leading to inconsistencies and making sanitycheck.cgi to complain. Even as an extension, this shouldn't generate inconsistencies.

Well, we can consider removing that feature out after I move this to an extension. I've already spent several hours on this patch as it is, and I'd have to re-do a lot of it if I removed the feature now.

This one compiles, but probably doesn't work yet. There's still a lot of work to go, some of it very complicated.

Some more progress. This compiles and has sanitycheck and a lot of the admin stuff done.

Almost done now.

Well, I think it's more valuable to remove the feature first, which certainly leads to a cleaner code, than wasting time moving it into an extension and remove it later.

REL_VOTER is now moved entirely into the extension.

Okay, I've moved all the code, but very little of it has been tested. I know that some things in this patch won't work at all.

More work on getting things to actually function. I'm having a little problem with changing votes using user.html right now, though.

Okay, here we go, this is feature-complete and fully-functional. I tested every single subroutine, every single template, and every single hook. Currently, if a vote confirms a bug, TT will exit without output due to a very strange TT bug that I cannot work around currently ( https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=47929 ). However, I think it will be handled if we stop sending email from the template, which is something I think we want to do anyway, and it's not the most common occurrence that a vote confirms a bug. There are a few features that are not fully active, but will be active once all the blockers are cleared. However, this patch functions and applies without any of the blockers. This is an enormous patch, and it took a tremendous amount of work that I have tested extremely thoroughly. Most of the actual templates and main code was actually just copied around, so only a small percentage of it is new. What I would like to do is to basically grant myself "module owner" review, since it's an Extension, and then check it in after a quick look-over from LpSolit or whoever would like to. Does that sound OK?

This fixes the fake "votes.cgi" to properly do redirects.

I found one more bug, which may have actually been happening in Bugzilla already, where voting/user.html was showing every single product instead of just products that had bugs with votes in them.

The votes table wasn't getting created properly in an empty database.

Comment on attachment 426925 [details] [diff] [review] v4 Okay, so I talked to LpSolit about this on IRC, and he says that it's OK to check this in, but he still wants to look it over after checkin, so I'm going to keep the review flag set.

Comment on attachment 426925 [details] [diff] [review] v4 Passes some basic tests. r=LpSolit (we really need a UI to enable/disable extensions!)

(In reply to comment #24) > (we really need a UI to enable/disable extensions!) Agreed! It wouldn't be too hard now, even, since extensions have an "enabled" method. Just have to do it.

Added to the release notes in bug 604256.
