Custom Query (2152 matches)

Good user interfaces provide feedback to users. We should provide more feedback about the success / failure of actions using message flashing (see ​http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/flashing/).

We already do some of this (slightly poorly), e.g. on adding an authorization the app says: "X authorization added".

Implementation

• Standardize this process and add section to html for this purpose.
• Already done in other OKFN apps e.g. yourtopia.net, wheredoesmymoneygo and commentonit
• Testing: suggest keeping this very simple

Estimate

• Cost: 0.5h (html etc) + 1h to do some integration

This has been noted twice in the last couple of weeks.

Checking around my guess is this is due to someone logging in to www.ckan.net and ckan.net. Google generates openid based on the RP (requesting party) which is the requesting domain url unless the openid.realm is set. See:

• ​http://groups.google.com/group/google-federated-login-api/web/the-most-important-technical-issue-in-using-the-google-accounts-api?pli=1
• ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3549953/how-to-get-unique-identifier-from-openid-google

To fix this we should set the openid.realm (not sure how atm).

If this is not possible an alternative is to make sure we redirect all users to a single site url (perhaps using ckan config option site_url, or doing this in apache).

Cost: 1h

It only passes "q", but the whole query must be serialized.
