What (summary)

Three Core Offers are prominently displayed in the grass part of the skin. Each offer walks the visitor through a logical sequence of screens, culminating a subscription to Get Page Alerts, an order to Promote my Company, or a request for more information about how and why to Sponsor a Portal.

Why this is important

This task is pointed squarely at our most important goals: Revenue and Engagement.

DoneDone when each of the following subtasks are DoneDone

• Get Page Alerts
• Promote my Company
• Sponsor a Portal

PunchList

• We say offer is 99.00 but charge 99.99. Must fix this. -- Ward
  • Fix views/sponsor/invoice.rhtml to use SponsorController::DEFAULT_PRICE rather than 99 as a magic number
• Can't see orders db at http://promoteme.aboutus.org/au_web_services/orders/list -- has redirect loop -- Ward

• I was testing the result by entering my email twice, Why am I receiving twice emails - Shahzad
  • Which offer? -Stephen Judkins
    • Email alerts TedErnst (talk) 12:30, 8 January 2008 (PST)
    • verified that you get mails twice when you subscribe to page alerts for a single page twice. Umar Sheikh and Arshia

• I Click Promote My company and I went to this empty page http://promoteme.aboutus.org/PageSupport ... --- Shahzad
  • If the javascript hasn't loaded yet, or is disabled, these are the pages the links should go to. -Stephen Judkins
    • I logged out, went to TedErnst.com and clicked "get alerts" and went to this page, which is blank: http://promoteme.aboutus.org/PageAlerts 202.38.48.136
    • Javascript was not disabled for any of us in Lahore, but we all saw this intermittantly. If we clicked "back" and then tried again, it worked every time. TedErnst (talk) 12:30, 8 January 2008 (PST)
    • Tak will create and post explanations for each of the non-javascript offer pages
    • got broken javascript to degrade gracefully. Check it out! -Stephen Judkins

• Maybe this is a larger issue (not to be fixed this week), but when I'm signed in, the anon alerts don't make sense. It should just add those pages to my watchlist. I signed up this way as logged in and got the confirmation email but when I clicked the link, I got an error. Not sure if this is because I'm logged in. TedErnst (talk) 23:42, 7 January 2008 (PST)

• While signing up to "Promote My Company", Email address field does not accept 'characters' I tried signing up with and it didnt work. --Sa'ad ^{: talk : email : contribs :} 23:39, 7 January 2008 (PST)
  • Also happens on "Sponsor a Portal". Unable to use underscore in email field.

• Minor issue, on portal offer - after filling out info, return to page was broken. ~~ MarkDilley
  • https should redirect to http unless the url includes au_web_services/sponsor
  • figure out how to not need the username and password twice for http and https
