Things to consider:
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Improve subscription functionality on Special:Newsletters | mediawiki/extensions/Newsletter | master | +145 -43 |
The plan looks very good, but I wonder if all this is feasible as a short term task. Should this be a blocker for the deployment of the extension in Wikimedia?
I don't think it would be that difficult and it should be possible to achieve this in the short term if someone works on it.
From our meeting today, about http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters
<qgil> what if instead of radio buttons we would have a green subscribe button
<qgil> or red, if the system detects you are already subscribed to a newsletter
<tonythomas> and if the user is subscribed, it should show 'Unsubsribe' right ? something we have in http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletter/1
<qgil> yes, like that
<qgil> I wonder whether we could even have the workaround for non-JS right there
<qgil> if you have JS, you see the btton changing
<qgil> if not, the page is reloaded wit the correct button
<qgil> * remove Frequency column in order to have a cleaner page
<qgil> * make link in title of newsletter point to ID page with all the info
<qgil> About the radio button
<qgil> Convert it to button showing your current status
