From: chealer at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Issue tracker: Advanced search unclear, link to how-to difficult to find
Description: ------------ https://bugs.php.net/search.php offers several filters whose effect is unclear (in particular the "Find bugs", Status and Type filters). These filters are in good part documented on https://bugs.php.net/search-howto.php but there is no prominent link to the HOWTO from the advanced search page. There is a link at the top right, but it is buried in mostly superfluous links. Although I have known this site for more than 10 years, I failed to find this page when I needed it. This ticket is broadly asking to clarify advanced search. Ideally, the form would be simplified or documented in-place. But I would consider simply prominently linking to the HOWTO as a solution. This could be done by either: 1. Adding a link in the advanced search page's content (rather than in the header common to all pages) 2. Removing some rarely used links from the common header (random bug, documentation, support) 3. Splitting the links in 2 clearly distinguished categories - some specific to bugs.php.net and the rest. This could be done just by using different colors or font sizes. Or, search links could be moved to the bar currently dedicated to basic search, which currently has much room available at the left. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77405&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77405&r=mysqlcfg -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
