Bug 256530

Comment 1 Frank Becker 2008-12-11 16:32:06 EST

Hi Rob,

we need there help form the bugzilla team.

There is no way to figure out if usevotes is on or off for an installation.

OR
in /show_bug.cgi?id=&ctype=xml they should ad <votes>0</votes> if usevotes is on but there are no votes

What do you think about the other options in .../editparams.cgi?section=bugfields (defaultpriority, defaultseverity)

Thoughts ?

Seems like the best solution would be to have this included as part of the product configuration.

Should we ad an enhancement request for 3.8

Comment 5 Steffen Pingel 2011-09-28 02:32:15 EDT

Did we already file a bug against Bugzilla? I think it makes sense to request this. Either suggestion sound reasonable to me.

Sorry, I did not fill the request. Should we fill a request for an web service or /show_bug.cgi?

Comment 7 Steffen Pingel 2011-10-04 18:43:30 EDT

I would prefer /show_bug.cgi or config.cgi since we already parse that anyways.

Maybe we should not fix this.

Reason: 3.6 tuned this off by default and 4.0 moved the code to an extension that should maintained by somebody.

See: http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.0/release-notes.html#v40_feat_vot_ext

Thoughts?

Comment 10 Steffen Pingel 2011-10-14 13:13:59 EDT

That sounds very reasonable to me. I am assuming that the voting extension will be popular and often enabled and there could still be interest in better task editor integration. Hence, I'll leave this bug open and mark it as helpwanted to indicate that we would be happy to resolve this through a community contribution but don't have capacity to address this bug within the project.
