More useful infos/links in Data Access Password dialog

[JoKeyser]

Hi, I hope this is still OK to post DRDR issues here? (At least to me, it's more convenient.)

A small but (to me) annoying issue is that when I get a Data Access Password, it doesn't give me the URL I need as well, namely davs://WebDAV.data.donders.ru.nl. I think anyone who used the system before would be grateful to have this readily available for copy & paste.

Worse, it only offers a (rather too general) link to http://www.ru.nl/donders/. In case somebody needs help, it would make more sense to refer them to http://www.ru.nl/donders/research/data/user-manual/transfer-data/.

Here the screenshot of what I call the dialog. The link behind "Please visit the following page" points at www.ru.nl/donders/, which is rather useless.

Thanks for your consideration!

Hi Johannes,

We have moved the issue report to a more official help desk, email: datasupport@donders.ru.nlmailto:datasupport@donders.ru.nl. Please report issues to this email in the future.

(I am c.c.ing this issue report to the official helpdesk)

Come back to your issues:

Yes, I think your suggestion of having the url (davs://webdav.data.donders.ru.nl) is handy for newbies. However, different client uses different prefix (e.g. davs:// is not universal). So I suggest to put some text like “connect your SSH-enabled WebDAV client to webdav.data.donders.ru.nlhttp://webdav.data.donders.ru.nl”. What do you think?

The useless link you mentioned in the second issue is known to us; and the fix is expected in the next release (in a week).

Cheers, Hong

Hi @hurngchunlee , thanks for cc-ing, okay will send it there directly in the future. Great that the help-link is going to be solved.

About webDAV: I didn't know the prefix isn't universal... that's a bummer. According to the docs, davs:// is needed for Thunar, while Cyberduck and Cadaver want https://. So if there's only these two cases, I would suggest that the text should say (with left-alignment, to make clear that only the prefix changes):

"Depending on your WebDAV client, login at https://webdav.data.donders.ru.nl (Cyberduck, Cadaver) or davs://webdav.data.donders.ru.nl (Thunar)"

I don't think mentioning SSH would help here, it's too technical for most people to understand. Maybe also make the URLs non-clickable, so that nobody accidentally opens it with their browser.

I like this proposal.

Looking at the present help link with the https://data.donders.ru.nl/collections?help syntax, I could not find the configurable help item. Also in https://github.com/donders-research-data-management/rdm-ontology/blob/master/external_urls.json the specific URL seems not to be listed.

That suggests that there is a hard-coded URL in the code.... yep.

https://github.com/donders-research-data-management/rdm-web/blob/292b944826e00964678700ed46a8124f59bec145/front-end/src/main/java/nl/ru/rdm/frontend/web/view/page/RDMPage.properties#L96

which is line 96 in rdm-web/front-end/src/main/java/nl/ru/rdm/frontend/web/view/page/RDMPage.properties

has the hard-coded URL. @hurngchunlee can you file this as an issue with Paul?

PS I searched the rest of the code and could not find similar hard-coded URL issues.
