Summary: Implement 'Subscribe to the release announcements mailing list.' in the installer Product: MediaWiki Version: 1.18-svn Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: Installation AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: krinklem...@gmail.com CC: innocentkil...@gmail.com See also * bug 26522 * comments on r79089 -- So to reimplement this, I suggest one of the following ideas: == Seperate form in new window == - a bordered box next to the Email field (a seperate <form target="_blank">[1]), that is enhanced via javascript. - This form has a "Subscribe to the release announcements mailing list" <legend> - a label with "Email" - and a "Subscribe" submit button. -- When pressed submit to a new window. User sees the result and knows that a confirmation link send by lists.wikimedia will be waiting in the Inbox. == Within PHP when pressing next == - We use the value of the normal Email-field - A checkbox that will decide whether or not to subscribe. - When Continue is pressed on the Name-page, a POST-request is done to the mailingslist page. The result of it is ignored. [1] With target="_blank" it submits to a new window. With javascript we may be able to do it nicer via AJAX. And POST it and use the return to show a message. However this may be impossible due to cross-domain restrictions. Nonetheless target="_blank" works fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
