Use external browsers and remove internal browser #666

Closed alexsb closed 11 years ago

alexsb commented 11 years ago

Also add a menu item to the general tool-bar on whether selections should be triggered or not.

mstreit commented 11 years ago

Preference page General toolbar switch

Isn't #666 about web browsers and #912 about genome browsers?

alexsb commented 11 years ago

Yes, but both is an URL isn't it? Or do you want to start the application on a local machine?

ngehlenborg commented 11 years ago

Yes, both are URLs. It wasn't obvious to me that this is the connection between the two tickets.

mstreit commented 11 years ago

users should be able to define and change the search string via the prefs page we should store the tuples (id category, search string) in the caleydo prefs file. we need to add default search strings for genes.

mstreit commented 11 years ago

open issue: multi mappings -> we can load the first resolved id

mstreit commented 11 years ago

Sam, can you please take care of it as well?

is this ticket about moving internal web browser to external or about the search engines for genes

mstreit commented 11 years ago

Both. The primary purpose of the web browser is to get details on the genes. However, creating external links for other entities would make sense as well (e.g., proteins). So the user needs a way to specify the mapping between ID categories and the external search query where we then can just append the selected ID.

For instance, if the user selects a heat map row, he should be able to trigger the external web browser by using the context menu. For now, I suggest to query genes on http://www.genecards.org/. Any other opinions on that?

sgratzl commented 11 years ago

then this are two different tickets from my point of view, one for the external / internal stuff and one for the gene search

mstreit commented 11 years ago

i agree

sgratzl commented 11 years ago

splitted in #1221 and #1222 to avoid confusion
