Ok, I reviewed this plip and these are my findings:
PLIP 126 framework review #3 by Danny Bloemendaal, 2009-01-27
=============================================================
review steps
------------
the bundle was reviewed on OSX 10.5.6 doing the following:
* bundle checkout, buildout etc
* manual function tests to verify things work as intended
notes and observations
----------------------
I reviewed this plip from a UI perspective of course. So I started by
creating a folder as
admin with a Link in there. Published both items. In another browser I
visited as an anonymous
user and opened the folder. Both the navtree and the link redirected
me to the target url.
As admin I also visited the folder and the navtree links me to the
Link object while the folder listing
redirects me to the target url.
I checked what the default setting is for this redirecting and
"Redirect immediately to link target"
was not checked. Then how is it possible that it does redirect for
anonymous and for admin in the folder
listing? In my opinion, if you offer this option then it should not
redirect when unchecked.
Checking the option doesn't seem to change anything for anonymous and
logged-in users without edit permissions.
It keeps redirecting. The only change I notice when checking this
option is the portal-like info message in the landing page
for the Link object. So it looks as if this feature is not working at
all or I am missing the entire point
(which is also bad because I'm doing what I actually do best: being a
dumb user)
Seeing this and at least thinking about the intentions I begin to
wonder why this isn't implemented as the comments option. There you
have a site setting for the type if you want to allow commenting or
not. If allowed you can still overrule this for each instance (you can
either user the site's default or control locally). I also am not in
favor of the Info message. I'd leave it out. If the site admin or the
site designer decided to do automatic linking, then you don't need to
show this decision in every view page. I'd put in the edit form
instead where it belongs. It's a setting after all.
Conclusion
----------
It seems to not work so for now (until someone explains me what I'm
doing wrong and if so why I misinterpreted the entire functionality): -1
