######
|
|
|
|
To enable the Voting extension, you must remove the :file:`disabled`
|
|
file from the directory :file:`extensions/Voting/`, and run
|
|
:file:`checksetup.pl`.
|
|
|
|
Voting allows users to be given a pot of votes which they can allocate
|
|
to bugs, to indicate that they'd like them fixed.
|
|
This allows developers to gauge
|
|
user need for a particular enhancement or bugfix. By allowing bugs with
|
|
a certain number of votes to automatically move from "UNCONFIRMED" to
|
|
"CONFIRMED", users of the bug system can help high-priority bugs garner
|
|
attention so they don't sit for a long time awaiting triage.
|
|
|
|
To modify Voting settings, navigate to the "Edit product" screen for the
|
|
Product you wish to modify. The following settings are available:
|
|
|
|
*Maximum votes per person:*
|
|
Setting this field to "0" disables voting.
|
|
|
|
*Maximum votes a person can put on a single bug:*
|
|
It should probably be some number lower than the
|
|
"Maximum votes per person". Don't set this field to "0" if
|
|
"Maximum votes per person" is non-zero; that doesn't make
|
|
any sense.
|
|
|
|
*Number of votes a bug in this product needs to automatically get out of the UNCONFIRMED state:*
|
|
Setting this field to "0" disables the automatic move of
|
|
bugs from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED.
|
|
|
|
Once you have adjusted the values to your preference, click "Update".
