Quips
|
|
#####
|
|
|
|
Quips are small user-defined messages (often quotes or witty sayings) that
|
|
can be configured to appear at the top of search results. Each Bugzilla
|
|
installation has its own specific quips. Whenever a quip needs to be
|
|
displayed, a random selection is made from the pool of already existing quips.
|
|
|
|
Quip submission is controlled by the *quip_list_entry_control*
|
|
parameter. It has several possible values: open, moderated, or closed.
|
|
In order to enable quips approval you need to set this parameter to
|
|
"moderated". In this way, users are free to submit quips for addition,
|
|
but an administrator must explicitly approve them before they are
|
|
actually used.
|
|
|
|
In order to see the user interface for the quips, you can
|
|
click on a quip when it is displayed together with the search
|
|
results. You can also go directly to the quips.cgi URL
|
|
(prefixed with the usual web location of the Bugzilla installation).
|
|
Once the quip interface is displayed, the "view and edit the whole
|
|
quip list" link takes you to the quips administration page, which
|
|
lists all quips available in the database.
|
|
|
|
Next to each quip there is a checkbox, under the
|
|
"Approved" column. Quips that have this checkbox checked are
|
|
already approved and will appear next to the search results.
|
|
The ones that have it unchecked are still preserved in the
|
|
database but will not appear on search results pages.
|
|
User submitted quips have initially the checkbox unchecked.
|
|
|
|
Also, there is a delete link next to each quip,
|
|
which can be used in order to permanently delete a quip.
|
|
|
|
Display of quips is controlled by the *display_quips*
|
|
user preference. Possible values are "on" and "off".
