I am new here. I have found two bugs related with the new Map feature and
after asking in the IRC, I registered myself (as "txopi") on Trac and
tryed to create a new ticket. But i have no permissions to create new
tickets ("TICKET_CREATE TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform
this operation"), so finally I decided to subscribe to this mailing list.
You need to confirm your email address with trac before submitting a bug
report. Unfortunately trac's UI for this is pretty dreadful so it's not
too clear. :(
There should be a confirmation mail from trac in your inbox -- check
your spam folder as well.
BUG 1: FF 3.0 over Ubuntu
Firefox 3.0 has no geolocation support, unless you have installed Google
Gears -- which should give you a nice big Google Gears permission
prompt. Check under the Tools menu for Gears settings in case you've
already given permission but don't remember it.
The only browsers we've found so far that do lookups but fail to prompt
the user for geolocation permission are the Mac and Linux versions of
Google Chrome/Chromium; the Windows version gives a Gears prompt.
BUG 2: FF 3.5 over Windows
Today I have tryed to send a post to identi.ca with another computer
(Firefox 3.5.6 over Windows XP) and it happens the same, my location is
made public without my consent. I have checked that "Share my location"
(at Page info -> Permissions) is blocked, but anyway my location is
showed. Why? I have no idea. I have blocked all the permissions but the
cookies (to allow login on identi.ca) but when I send the post in the
page, my location is published anyway. So I delete it again.
Hmm... did you leave the page open after changing the permissions,
without reloading it? In this case it'll probably still have the
location it already looked up when you told it it was ok to check your
location.
Note also that locations attached to any notices you've previously sent
don't disappear when you change the browser's permissions. To remove
them you'll need to delete those individual notices. (There's not
currently a way to strip locations from existing notices.)
Proposal:
I don't know if you will like to receibe a proposal from someone that is
not helping in the development of StatusNet, but anyway here it is: I
think that the automatic location feature should be controled in the
server's user configuration,
Yep, we've got some notes and possible UI mockups to this effect on the
wiki:
http://status.net/wiki/Location_fuzzing
http://status.net/wiki/Talk:Location_fuzzing
If all browsers behaved correctly we wouldn't need an extra option, but
some don't even ask (*cough* Chromium), and the ones that do ask are
still confusing enough that it looks like we need to add our own option
to disable it...
Should make it to live site within a week unless we hit a major snag.
