Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34822
login / bug pain ...
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:08:44 UTC
So - SourceCast likes you to re-login multiple times per day (as previously discussed / denied etc. etc. at length ). Anyway this (seriously irritating problem) could be made somewhat less painful by the (nice) top right corner 'Login' thing - _but_ currently that login submission process takes you not to a re-loaded, authenticated version of the current page - but to the front-page. Thus: my daily bug examining grind looks like: visit: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=34780 [ realise I can't enter any comments & have to log in again, again ] - unfixable notice firefox (or whatever) has auto-filled in my top-secret password/account hit 'login' button: get sent to the front page I'm not interested in hit 'back' - get the same old page from the browser cache hit 're-load' - get the new, now-authenticated version. What I would like: visit: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=34780 [ realise I can't enter any comments & have to log in again, again ] - unfixable notice firefox (or whatever) has auto-filled in my top-secret password/account hit 'login' button: bug re-loads in authenticated mode
Michael, This, as with other SC features you dislike, is actually not a SC feature: it is a characteristic of the way we (Sun, OOo) have set up the environment. Because many pages are staticized (snapshot of CVS is published) and some are necessarily dynamic, including login, my start, etc., there is a fair amount of confusion. FWIW, the login expires about several hours (I forget the precise number). We have also set the destination page after login to be the user's start page. We can make it "community home," which I believe is the OOo homepage. BTW, you probably know this... You will know if you are in a staticized page if you know you are logged (say you just logged in) but the upper right indicates you are not. That disparity is an effect of the staticization; you are still logged in. To confirm, go to any issue page, like this one. You should see your username as logged in in the upper right. BTW, the experience you recount is I think a Firefox feature. It doesn't happen with my browsers (Safari, mainly). If you are curious to see how SourceCast functions independent of OOo's configurations, visit the Tigris site. See <http://www.tigris.org/> meanwhile, I'll see about changing the landing page for logged-in users. cheers Louis
Changing the landing page for logged in users is not useful to me :-) The bug page cannot be 'staticised' AFAICS since it is the result of a bugzilla 'show_bug.cgi' CGI perl script. To repeat the problem in a more simple statement: a) I am being patient and accepting that the mind-mangled login-every-time-you-use-IZ feature is a wonderful thing b) I wish to edit a bug - I don't care whatsoever about my 'front-page' or whatever it is. c) I go to view the bug; I notice I have my [hyper-secret] login-details filled in at the top right; ** At this point I want to press 'Login' and return to the same bug page [ compare with point c) ] - but now able to actually enter some useful data [ NB. this is why I went to that bug in the 1st place ]. ** Instead - I get shunted to some page I care nothing about, have to hit 'back', then have to hit 'shift-reload', now I can edit the bug - this adds unnecessary pain to my life - on an extremely regular basis. ie. the 'Login' button should be page specific, and post authentication re-load the current page. HTH :-)
mmeeks: Logout can just go back to HTTP->Referrer. Yes, that page is not staticized. Back to Louis.
I'll route this to CN for evaluation. Support: how feasible would it be make it so that instead of being sent either to My StarPage or to the staticized OOo Homepage (community home) we simply stay where we are but logged in, the page magically refreshed? I note that this is the behavior, of some other SourceCast instantiations. thanks louis
*** Issue 35086 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
this seems to be a duplicate of the earlier http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10122 Let's not quite close this, however. Louis
This is a known issue and has been addressed in some form in the past. The issue here has to do with the fact that OOo allows guests to browse the details of projects. At present this enhancement is being considered for the hudson release of the software.
IMO, Louis's October 6th suggestion would be PERFECT!
This is considered as an enhancement in the future release Hood-H2 of 2006 by the product management. Regards, Ramya Support Operations
pjanik: Michael, you have received the sources so you can fix it yourself? mmeeks: Pavel: of course not. pjanik: so this means you can't fix it. mmeeks: right. pjanik: so why they assign it back to you? Virtual dialog, back to support. Please introduce new target with that software and set it.
CN has put in some internal branding changes on the site. Can someone please verify if this is working better now?
Looks like after logging at the issue page, we are now back on that issue page. Thanks!
wow - way cool :-) thanks, it's great to have this finally fixed.
