An invalid logo_url entry in table data_resource prevents the data resource
page from loading. The visible effect is that it appears to be loading for a
long time, eventually resulting in a white page just containing the framing
elements (header).
An example for this was http://data.gbif.org/datasets/resource/1430/, with a
logo_url entry of
http://www.bioversityinternational.org/networks/euforgen/news/Bioversity-big.gif
. In a web browser, the link results in a "page not found" error displayed
within the holding institutions web frames. Deleting the URL from the
data_resource table fixed the effect, but it can re-occur for this and other
datasets (and possibly publisher pages) unless the error is caught in the
portal application.
Suggestion: as the logo is in no way critical to the display of metadata
content, a logo link not resolvable within short time should be abandoned,
proceeding with the rest of page load.
