I already forked the ui-repo, found the correct file to fix it and even found the place where I should add a query to the search form to search only for communities if you start searching from the communities page.
But then I saw that this change is already done in that file. I double checked the HTML on my instance and there it’s broken. I checked the history of the page and see it has been fixed 18 hours before I started looking into it.
All my hard work for nothing.
It be like that sometimes
It wasn’t for nothing.
Think of the skills you gained and the experience.
And a chance to post it here!
And all the larma to gain!
Larma^ That’s how I’m calling it now
Plenty more bugs to fix, don’t give up being a contributor!
My process is:
- Check for an issue that describes the bug you’re seeing.
- If there isn’t one, create one.
- If you feel like it’ll be snapped up because it’s a relatively easy fix, comment on the issue saying you’ll give it a go.
- Fix it!
There is still a chance someone might swoop in and fix it but this lowers the chances and it’s good to get into the habit of creating and linking Issues to your PRs.
At least you got yourself into the contributing mindset. Tackle the next issue!
You can just build a time machine and commit it before the other one. Problem solved.
I have another bug which is bothering me. When the site settings are set to
"Registration Mode": "Close Registration"
, theSign Up
link still shows up and the route still sends you to the Sign Up form. You can fill in everything there but then will get a infinite spinner.I wanted to at least remove the link at the top when sign up is closed. But obviously it’s not as easy as changing a static HTML as in the other bug.
Hey, if not this one then the next one. Onto the next bug!
