Aaron Mulder commented on GERONIMO-1900: ---------------------------------------- I agree with Dave's analysis. Also, I don't like the fact that the patch has a hardcoded port in the redirect URL, or that it wasn't made from the Geronimo root directory. I think we should forget about the console and if the user opts to install the plugin, just load up the plugin installer and do the install right then and there and then redirect the user to the example page. > Sample app links on welcome app are broken by default > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1900 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1900 > Project: Geronimo > Type: Bug > Security: public(Regular issues) > Components: usability, sample apps > Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Aaron Mulder > Assignee: Aaron Mulder > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.1 > Attachments: logo_head_570x86.gif, welcome-2.patch, welcome-3.patch, > welcome-4.patch, welcome.patch > > It would be nice to take users to a page that would prompt them to install > the sample if they click a link to it and it's not present. However, > automating this would require us to be able to construct a link into a > portlet, which does not seem easy. > For now, the welcome app can include pages at the locations where the sample > apps will be bound, with text to the effect of: > This sample has not yet been installed. To install it, visit the > (URL)console(/URL) and select the Plugins page, click the Search for Plugins > button, and select the (NAME HERE) sample to install. Then visit this same > URL again to view the (NAME HERE) example. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
