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.
There are some common questions that keep coming up when users are
editing or creating templates. This commit adds a pattern for sections
of guidance which can be shown/hidden.
It then modifies the guidance as follows.
Change:
- guidance about placeholders; give an example about what to do and what
not to do (because the mistake we keep seeing people make is putting
the thing itself, not the name of the thing)
Add (pretty basic at the moment but a need for these has come out of
research):
- guidance about links
- guidance about message length for text messages
