Description Paul Lindner 2000-07-11 18:11:49 UTC

Is it possible to change the wording  of 'Component' to 'Section' for web
site bugs (or at least add some explanatory text noting this?)

Same goes for Platform.  We're most interested in the browser and OS of the
web
browser.  That would be nice information to have...

Basically the labels right now are all static text in html template files. I
would need to create a separate instance of bugzilla if I wanted to have the
labels changed. I could alter the documentation to tell the user the different
meanings that each label could mean. Some of the labels if you notice are links
to a help page explaining each. The explanations could be placed there. But if
we set up a separate Bugzilla instance then we could customize it to our hearts
content. 

Bugzilla has the ability already for choosing between a list of OS's for tacking
on to a bug report. This has been disable because up until now Linux was the
only obvious choice. Mozilla's bugzilla has all of the OS's available since
Mozilla will run on more than Linux. I will look into adding this functionality
back so as not to cause problems with older bugs.

Comment 2 Paul Lindner 2000-07-11 19:00:24 UTC

I dunno about setting up a separate instance..  I like the idea of being 
able to reassign bugs from one component to another (especially as we
move forward to new things like MSP..)

The platform info would be very useful though...

Please reopen and change version to 2.18 if this problem still occurs in latest
release of Bugzilla.
