[BZ] some customization?
Can the default BZ bug entry forms be customized for a particular AOO
"product".
I am thinking about what people might encounter when they file an issue for
web site problems...I eventually get to an entry form (pic attached). For
the product, "www", can we just always have "openoffice.org general website
issues" for the "Component" and "current" for the "Version"?
Should I just address this question to the BZ team or ????
Thanks

Thanks for the info Rob. I'm NOT a BZ admin so I didn't know what was
available for capabilities at the moment. I am working on/contemplating the
"Report Problems with this Website" link and action for such as you
sggested with having user got to BZ to report problems. I looked at the
"new issue" process and this is why I asked.
In addition to NOT needing a "version" for web site pages, I'm sure there
are other areas where some of these inputs could and should be hidden.

Hi Dave...OK, thanks....really I would just like these menu boxes -- the
"component" and "version" to just not appear at all for certain bug
filings...I got it that you can epitomize for searches but NOT new entries.
OK, thanks.

WOW! OK, I didn't know about this. I may add some additional products to
this and use it. Good find. I did a mock up today of a "Contact Us" page
but didn't know about this, so stay tuned...

Cool. We should point people to that simplified "gateway", I think.
Currently the podling site sends users to the full BZ UI. Or maybe
that is what we want? Point only the user site to the simplified UI?

Click "writer" you get https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi?product=Word%20Processor
Add "&component=editing" and you get an initial component selection.

Yes, we can customize the available versions and components per
product. Any admin (like me) of our BZ instance can do this.
But there are limitations on what we can do:
1) it is very easy to add new versions or components to a product
2) It is very easy to rename versions or components in a product
3) It is harder to remove versions or components from a product. All
issues that refer to the version or component would first need to be
edited to make them point to a different version and component.
4) I don't see any way to set the default component or default
version. It appears to default to whatever version is last in the
list.
5) In the next version of BZ there will be the ability for admins to
hide components and versions, so they do not show up in the form for
new issues. I think that will make things much easier for us.
