creating templates does not work #67

Closed m1ci closed 8 years ago

m1ci commented 8 years ago

Creating templates does not work in the API documentation, the error message is:

Could not create resource: The anonymous user can not own any resource. You have to be logged in to create a resource.

How should we handled such situations?

... I guess the same applies to updating templates.

At the bottom of the full API documentation you can paste an API authentication token. I just tried at api-dev and it worked. Does this solve the issue?

Thanks for clarification. Yes it helped. I added input field for a token in the e-link tutorial http://api-dev.freme-project.eu/doc/tutorials/getting-started-with-e-link.html#step-3-3-template-manipulation

However, I think its not clear for a user how to authenticate. The message says:

Could not create resource: The anonymous user can not own any resource. You have to be logged in to create a resource.

1) users do not log in 2) no clear info on how they should log in -> provide info that they should get token and provide it in the input field at the end of the page 3) the input field for the token is hard to find. I would rather add token input field next to every API resources where authentication is needed.
