Ticket #67 (WontFix)Mon Oct 23 16:26:09 UTC 2006

Log in links do not allow "back" or a return to the previous location

Reported by: Andrew Hodgkinson (6) Severity: Minor
Part: Web site: Hub (single sign-on mechanism) Release: 2nd public site release
Milestone: 2nd public site release completed Status WontFix

Details by Andrew Hodgkinson (6):

Hub only supports explicit return-to locations presently. This means that the “log in” link and similar mechanisms tend to return to the tasks control panel, not an originating page, except for the explicitly set cases.

In future, it might be better if Hub could examine, say, the HTTP referer header (if set) should an explicit return path not exist, when logging in.

  • Severity changed from Enhancement to Minor

This is quite important for Typo with the level of Hub integration present from Changeset #111. The “You must log in to add a comment” link gives no history of the article being viewed so the user has to navigate back to it manually, one way or another. Raised the severity to “Minor” from “Enhancement” because the usability wrinkle, in this case, is sufficiently large to be considered a bug.

  • Status changed from Open to WontFix

Typo was in fact the only application left that had a manual login route into Hub, using the login_hop mechanism in Hub to attempt to store a return path. The integration of Typo 4.1 with Hub implements a new articles controller method which is not cached and requires login; this means Hub redirection falls out in the wash transparently. Meanwhile, the everyday article reading page can still be cached, providing a distinct performance improvement over earlier versions. Hence, all in all, this doesn’t need to be “fixed” anymore.

See Changeset #193 (huge!) and Changeset #194 for Typo 4.1 details.
