972023 - Desktop client needs to let SIGNED in user copy "call-me" URLs to clipboard

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P3)

To clarify, this bug is meant to track the UX and implementation work of providing a means of placing the URL into the system clipboard in a more convenient way than "highlight text" followed Edit->Copy or Control-C/Command-C. For example, we may consider automatically copying the URL to the clipboard when it is generated; or have a "create URL and copy to the clipboard" button; or, after the URL is displayed, have a button that copies it to the clipboard.

It is assumed that users can highlight and copy the link manually, even before this bug lands.

Not required for MLP

Mark -- Even if this doesn't block MLP, I'd like to give this to you (as part of bug 974875). Thanks.

can do today - every first release user will know how - using copy on the operating system.  put in later for non-computer user adoption.

Although this breaks the planned FF3 UX, I needInfo Darrin for comments on this when he is back.

My comments are the same as as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000771#c4.

I don't believe this is necessary for the first release of FxA&contacts/direct calling

Comment 8

[Romain Testard [:RT]]

To be clear, this bug is about providing the same capability as what will be available for accountless users through https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000771

This is the copy button show on https://people.mozilla.org/~dhenein/labs/loop-mvp-spec/#precall-signedin

ABR to have conversation with darrin regarding the URL differences between logged-in versus not logged-in URL association with browser or FxA user account.

Comment 10

[:shell escalante]

MattN is addressing this with a bug to populate the link box with the the signed in URL (which varies from a non-signed in URL).  There isn't a code change on the copy or email/share buttons though.  they will work the same for signed-in or non-signed in users.  closing as the code change doesn't need to happen here.

[Answering my "needinfo" from Comment 9]: Based on a brief IRC conversation with Darrin, this works in the way that we've been anticipating: when not logged in, generated URLs are associated with the browser; when logged in, they are associated with the user.
