Another dumb question from a newbie: multiple bugs on the same page = 1 bug?

[ninetydegrees]

I keep finding bugs on Manage Comments. I've already filed three and I could file two more. I'm afraid it's getting a little ridiculous. What's the policy in this case? Should I file the new bugs independently anyway, edit the last one and give it a vaguer title? What?

BTW are there any guidelines somewhere for using Bugzilla? I don't get when it's ok to reopen a bug and when it isn't for example.

A: Reopen when there is a problem with the fix itself: it didn't fix the bug.

Hmm. I think I'll put the remaining issues into one bug then since I'm pretty sure I can fix the other ones. Thanks!

Also, I love small bugs, they're nice for babies like me.

Now on to figure out the difference between is_person and is_individual...

If I remember,

is_person returns true if the account is a personal DW account.

is_individual returns true if the account is a personal or OpenID DW account.

Thank you!

I didn't know which was what. Hmm. Maybe I'll be able to fix that other bug then... Decisions, decisions...

[ninetydegrees]

Are there any other is_ e.g. for communities?

I'm trying to see how one would say "is a personal account or a community" because OpenID users can't receive comments, right? Are there any other type of possible accounts too?

[foxfirefey]

Yes!

There are the following functions, mostly self explanatory:

is_community
is_identity -- returns true if the user is an OpenID identity
is_official
is_paid
is_perm
is_redirect -- this user redirects to another user, like with renames
is_syndicated -- for a feed account

It looks like there's no function that combines both, but you can use two functions by using an or (||) in your if statement:

if ( $u->is_personal || $u->is_community ) {
  # This if statement works for personal journals or communities
}

You can see all of the available is_* in User.pm.

So obvious and I've been looking for this file for ages. Thank.you.so.much.
