New Homepage carousel promo: Games! #3111

Closed diox closed 8 years ago

diox commented 8 years ago

(re-filed in the right repos, original was https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/9607)

We'd like to promote a new collection on the Homepage. Could we please get this games collection placed in the Disco Pane management tool by no later than Tuesday, May 31?

Overlay text (title, blurb, button):

Games! Add more fun to your Firefox. Play dozens of games right from your browser—puzzles, classic arcade, action games, and more! [Play now]

Final URL will be: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/collections/mozilla/games/

But please note that content curation is still in progress, so until I make Mozilla the "owner" of this collection, it lives here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/collections/sdevaney/games/

And here's a generic background image suited for AMO's new-look design (created by pwalm) white-backgrounds-9

diox commented 8 years ago

@devaneymoz : currently we don't display a button for collections featured in the discovery pane (on the homepage or on about:addons), we only display it when we feature a single add-on.

diox commented 8 years ago

@devaneymoz : here is a screenshot with the background you gave on the homepage, and one with the default background. The new background looks a bit jarring, it's cut abruptly and I find the text difficult to read. Do you want to change it ? Or even skip it entirely and keep the default ?

New background: screen shot 2016-05-17 at 14 45 44

Default: screen shot 2016-05-17 at 14 47 07

@diox: thank you for re-filing this issue in the right spot!

@pwalm: diox makes a good point about white design elements obscuring copy. It's hard to tell which of various generic background images you supplied this will also be the case. Any suggestions?

pwalm commented 8 years ago

@diox: Leave it default for now. Damn, that carousel background makes me crazy. I'll invest some time in making newer ones later this week.

diox commented 8 years ago

Ok, this is on dev and stage (using the mozilla/games collection) with the default background. Will land in prod tomorrow.

I have checked dev and stage and this new banner is not displayed neither in the homepage or disco pane. promobanner

Also the https://addons.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/collections/mozilla/games/ is a 404. where should we see this new collection?

diox commented 8 years ago

The collection needs to be created (and filled) by this specific author and then the module must be added to the homepage in the discovery modules admin tool. I'll take care of that later today on dev and stage.

madalincm commented 8 years ago

I can see that the collection is created here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/collections/mozilla/games/

But I can't see it in the banner, and I understood that it will be available in production today(well after yesterday push). Did that change?

diox commented 8 years ago

It has not been enabled yet. Edit: I have enabled it on dev, though (with dummy add-ons like firebug).

diox commented 8 years ago

@devaneymoz : the new carousel is available in prod over at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discovery/modules

devaneymoz commented 8 years ago

Thank you, all! I see the collection in the carousel programming module. I am planning to publish the collection next week. I think we're good to go here.
