Description Tony Mechelynck 2011-11-18 16:38:23 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0a1) Gecko/20111118 Firefox/11.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.8a1

Bugs reported against Product "openSUSE 12.1" have no "Vote for this bug" button or link.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Report a bug at bugzilla.novell.com under Product openSUSE 12.1

Actual Results:  
Near the top of show_bug.cgi for the new bug, there are:
- No "Vote for this" button
- No "Show votes for this bug" link
- No "Vote for this bug" link


Expected Results:  
Now that openSUSE 12.1 has been released, it ought to be possible to vote for its bugs.

Additional info:
Compare the pages for bug 731397 (for openSUSE 12.1) and bug 723151 (for openSUSE 11.4): the difference is obvious.

They who have ignored this bug report for six months...

Bug is also present for 12.2. 
Iff voting has been removed, where is the announcement?

Bug is also present for 12.3

Neither can I vote for openSUSE 13.1 bugs. I'm changing the Summary accordingly.
Comment 7 Tony Mechelynck 2014-09-23 03:44:07 UTC
This bug still applies after the recent Bugzilla update. Bugs in Product "openSUSE.org" (such as this one) can still be voted for, but there is still no (vote) link on bugs for Products openSUSE_12.1, openSUSE_12.2, etc., with a specific version >= 12.1.

Setting CONFIRMED ( = old-style NEW) rather than NEW ( = old-style UNCONFIRMED) considering comment #0, 4, 5, 6 and now 7 by Martin Schröder, flo gleixner and me.

Voting has been re-enabled for openSUSE 12.1 forward.

I apologize that this had not been configured sooner. The mailing list novbugzilla-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com was assigned to former employees. As the current Bugzilla developer, I had these former employees removed and replaced with myself and my manager.

Thanks for your message, Ryan.  But voting on bugs for openSUSE 12.1 and later doesn't work unless the bugs are accessed via <https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/>.  If you try to vote for them using <https://bugzilla.novell.com/> (for example, <https://bugzilla.novell.com/page.cgi?id=voting/user.html&bug_id=757273#vote_757273>), you get the message "You are currently not voting on any bugs".  This is annoying because all previous Bugzilla e-mail refers to bugs using the old bugzilla.novell.com URLs.  It's no longer to simply click on the URL from an old e-mail message and vote on a bug.

According to the upgrade slide deck, all the URLs use the same instance and database, so shouldn't voting work regardless of which URL you access the site from?

Oh, never mind… I see that the voting thing is perhaps an (unintended) consequence of the new automatic classification filtering.  It can be worked around by changing the BU Filter Preference in the account preferences.

Yes, this is the preferred method if you deal in openSUSE products only. Eventually the emails should level out to their respective BUs (as many people will likely not change this value)
Comment 12 Tony Mechelynck 2014-09-23 21:42:05 UTC
Of course I haven't checked all bugs, RESOLVED or not, for openSUSE 12.1 or later; but I have visited a couple of openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 bugs of interest to me, and indeed, after refreshing the page there is a new (vote) link. Thanks Ryan! :-) I'll mark this bug VERIFIED.

The first time only, Bugzilla gave me some blab about modifying the Votes page with an invalid token, but instead of clicking the "Are you sure?" button I went all the way back to the bug, refreshed the page again, voted again, and it passed. A fluke? (I've always been using bugzilla.novell.com but now I've set my BU filter to openSUSE. There are a lot of new preferences in the upgraded Bugzilla: it worth checking them over.)

If someone finds that after
- making sure that the "BU Filter" preference includes openSUSE (I suppose the value "All" would be OK too)
- making sure that that max votes per product for the concerned Product hasn't yet been reached (or that the Product isn't listed, which means "zero current votes")

there is an openSUSE bug which still won't accept a vote, please either
- (if shortly after comment #11) REOPEN with full details including at least all of BU Filter value, current #votes for product (probably zero; the Product won't be mentioned on your votes page then) and bug number; or
- (after some time has passed since comment #11) report a new bug with the same full details.

(As an aside, 20 votes per openSUSE version, or 4 bugs @ 5 votes/bug, seems a little measly to me, but that's not the topic of the present bug.)



P.S. Trying to "Save Changes" on this bug again gave me a red error message, this time it was:

You submitted changes to process_bug.cgi with an invalid token, which may indicate that someone tried to abuse you, for instance by making you click on a URL which redirected you here without your consent.

Are you sure you want to commit these changes? 


Clicking "Yes, Confirm Changes" didn't work. I'll try duplicating the modified tab, pasting the comment, and setting VERIFIED again.

S***, it didn't.
Oho! For some reason the URL has bugzilla.opensuse.org. Let's try with my usual bugzilla.novell.com instead.

Reported bug 898061 about these red banners, which are a different bug than this one.
