We used to open these links in new tabs, but accidentally stopped doing
so in commit 75a28fafc.
While, in general, automatically opening a link in a new tab/window is a
bad idea, the exception comes when people are filling in a form and
there are links to pages that contain information which will help them
fill in a form.
There are mainly two advantages of this approach. First, it makes less
likely for people to accidentally lose the information they were filling
in. And, second, having both the form and a help page open at the same
time can make it easier to fill in the form.
However, opening these links in new tabs also has disadvantages, like
taking control away from people or making it harder to navigate through
pages when using a mobile phone.
So this is a compromise solution.
We were using the word "registered" in English as an equivalent of the
Spanish word "empadronado". However, the term "registered" is very
confusing because it might be understood as being registered in the
CONSUL website.
In the message, we're saying "cannot participate" in order to make the
message consistent with the message regarding the required age.
Due to the way Madrid handled postal code validations (see issue 533),
by default we were requiring everyone to validate against the local
census *and* to specify valid postal codes.
This could be useful in some cases, but in other cases, the census
validation will be enough and there'll be no need to manually define the
valid postal codes. Besides, some CONSUL installations are used in
organizations or political parties where the postal code validation
doesn't make sense.
By using real XML responses developers will be able to understand better
how the integration works (the data flow), and the correspondency between
`remote_census` settings and their place at a real XML response.
As `stubbed_responses` methods were removed from the model layer now the
stubbing part should be managed from the test environment code so also
added a new helper module `RemoteCensusSetup` that can be used anywhere
where we need to call the web service.
