Advertise @recap.email to filers #309

Closed mlissner closed 1 year ago

If you're a RECAP extension user that has filing rights, you might be interested in using @recap.email. We should figure out a simple and effective way to begin notifying these folks that @recap.email exists.

One opportunity is the redaction popup that you have to agree to when you sign in if you're a filer. Probably another opportunity is in the PACER preferences page:

That shows that I have an Upgraded PACER Account. If there are other strings we could sniff in there, we should do it and use that information to pop up a link.

OK, I think the approach here is to put a small banner that looks like our other ones in a few places:

  1. On the Manage My Account page (screenshot above), it can go between the first box and the top of the tabs. The banner should read:

    [R] Use @recap.email to automatically contribute all your cases to RECAP. [Learn More]

  2. On the iquery.pl page it can go below the last button (similar to how it shows up on the Docket Report page). This is the docket report page, but the idea is the same for this banner and the one on the Manage My Account page:

    The banner should be the same as above.

  3. If it's not too difficult, it can go as a new section in the settings tab of the extension popup, below the "PDF Files" section. The new section can have a header of @recap.email, and then can say:

    As a filing user, you can add a special email address to your account that will automatically add all of your cases to the RECAP Archive.

Other notes

  1. All of these banners should only be shown if the user has filing rights. You can easily detect this by checking for the redaction warning popup when the user logs in:

    I think the trick is to check if that warning popup ever appears and if so, set a cookie in the extension. Then, if that cookie is present and they're on one of the pages above (or the settings page), show the banner.

  2. The banner should look like the other RECAP banners, including the RECAP icon.
