ID: 62403 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: perdrisat at gmail dot com Summary: limit duplicate by adding a instant search in the bug report's form Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: we do have one, after you submit a bug report you will be presented with the similar reports and you have to comfirm, that your issue isn't there. except if you are a logged in developer, then you won't have to confirm. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-01 10:40:30] [email protected] Didn't we have a similar system like that implemented in the old bugsweb? I remember that when you were about to submit a report and it was similar to one or more you were presented with 3 or more similar reports and you had to re-confirm that it was not an already reported bug or declined feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-24 11:31:08] perdrisat at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Apparently half of the bugs are duplicate or not a bug... I think this can partially solve by improving the bug report system. We need to search and display similar bugs when the user try to make a new one. One of the best example is certainly http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask Now we can of making a search after the submit... when the user already spend time to write is report. Also the page is not very clear because their is no title like "similar bug report, please avoid duplicate" Expected result: ---------------- - (user) got to https://bugs.php.net/report.php - (user) write the title of the bug report - (system) Do a (ajax) search and show a short list of similar bug report (possible duplicate) right under the title. - (user) look if is bug is a new one - (user) submit if he think it's a new or cancel if it's a duplicate. Actual result: -------------- - (user) got to https://bugs.php.net/report.php - (user) write the title of the bug report - (user) write the bug report - (user) submit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62403&edit=1 -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
