Since we’re removing the write email/write text message calls to action
from the tour, we should reintroduce them to the dashboard, for users
who are unsure what they should do next.
After the tour we should ground users by dropping them on the dashboard.
In the background, we delete the example text message template. This
means that users start from a clean slate when they go to add their own
templates
This also means some wording changes to the tour so it still makes
(some) sense:
- 1, 2 and 3 should refer to the current step, not describe the next
one
- the link should take you to the dashboard
- change from ‘Get started’ to ‘Try this example’ because we’re using
‘Get started on the dashboard’
We reckon that:
- a ‘blank slate’ templates page is a better start
- the example template hurt more than it helped when it comes to
understanding placeholders
Steps to reproduce:
- make a template with a placeholder
- click ‘send yourself a test’
- leave fields blank
- click ‘check’
- see error, click ‘back’
Expected: previous page
Actual: previous page with blue help sidebar
When the URL contains `help=0`, `request.args.get('help')` returns '0'.
Doing `if '0':` is the same as doing any `if <non empty string>:` which
returns `True`.
So we should only display the help when the help query parameter is:
- not missing
- AND a string that isn’t `'0'`
When you register you type in your email address. If you don’t get the
email there’s no way of knowing it’s because you’ve mistyped it.
If we play back the email address, you can double check it.
This commit also removes the 2/3 column on this page to make sure a long
email address doesn’t wrap.

It’s been unclear that:
- the dashboard exists
- that you click the name of the service to get back to it
So this commit:
- takes the link off the service name
- adds a link labelled ‘Dashboard’ to the navigation
Text messages have a maximum length, which we tell the users. We
shouldn’t expect people to count the characters in the message
themselves.
This commit borrows [the word counter from the Digital Marketplace
frontend toolkit](9d17690de5/toolkit/javascripts/word-counter.js)
and adapts it to count characters instead.
Things I’m still not sure about with this:
- what should it say when the message goes over the length of one text
message
- what’s the interaction with placeholders, which will change the length
of the message
This commit also adds a line to the pricing page which explains that
service name counts towards the length of the message.
