Can't login to nightly download

Ruth Hoffman-2
FYI -
I just downloaded and started up the today's nightly download package
using the README instructions -  and I couldn't login to Webtools.
Please see attached.  Hate to beat a dead horse - but this stuff should
work according to the README file - at a minimum, for the nightly
download. What gives? IMHO - Better not to have a nightly download than
to provide one that doesn't work as advertised.

Regards,
Ruth

Re: Can't login to nightly download

The problem is with the new default theme (Bizzness Time) there is no  
login link in the header, and the main page of webtools does not (and  
has not historically) required a login.

Part of the reason for this is for new/demo users: the main page of  
webtools recommends a username and password to use to try out the apps.

My opinion is that we should add the login link back to the header as  
it should be, but there seems to be a large group that would rather  
just change the main page to require login, and not add a login link.  
I don't know why that is, but I think it's a bit silly, and is another  
frustrating part of the new theme that has caused so many problems.

RE: Can't login to nightly download

Dan Dodd
Ruth makes a valid point of the first impression of OFBiz. We want more
helpers in all areas from simple user testing to experts in every
category. If we send them away because some simple item is broken we are
losing potential contributors. The very thing we need.

We want to make an easy onramp for people who are not experts in the
OFBiz framework or Java but in their area of expertise; be it medical
IT, telephony, product sales, CO-OP or a myriad of other fields. These
can select an area of interest, discuss real issues and then pitch in
and help the experts test and brainstorm.

I read the REAMME like a good old-school Unix user and didn't quite get
it from just the README. My OFBiz was running for 2 days and I thought
it was still compiling (you can stop laughing now)  when I finally
pointed the IE to the correct url and it came up as expected.


PS
I really like a login link when I go somewhere and I'm not logged in. My
vote is to keep it. I saw we had much discussion on this but it is worth
another look.

This is a known problem. For now you have to log into another application and then switch to Webtools.
Not sure if a Jira issue has been opened for that though...

My vote would be for each of the applications to work the same - not to have different requirements for extra buttons, etc.  If that doesn't work for everyone, then we need to have someone in the community fix the theme to work in the old way - which always seemed odd ....

Ruth, these issues definitely need to be fixed - and thanks for bringing them up.

Cheers,
Tim
