[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1842?page=comments#action_1239... ] Chris Laprun commented on JBPORTAL-1842: ---------------------------------------- It actually doesn't happen on all the login screens. Some are modal "sheets" using javascript and these provide a cancel options. Some are separate pages with no cancel option. We should make that consistent. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1842?page=comments#action_1239... ] Thomas Heute commented on JBPORTAL-1842: ---------------------------------------- After discussing this with Chris: Basically there are 4 scenarios: - Click on the login link -> Modal login - Click on the a link that requires authentication while being on the portal-> Non-Modal login - Click on the a link that requires authentication while being on some other website-> Non-Modal login - Click on the a link that requires authentication on a fresh browser or tab (no navigation history) -> Non-Modal login Scenario 1 (modal login) has a cancel button so we are all clear Scenario 2, the cancel button would replicate the back button (javascript) Scenario 3, nothing really intuitive here, back button or redirect to default portal/default page Scenario 4, redirect to default portal/default page is probably what makes more sense We can always find usecases where this won't be appropriate (it some cases we may want to redirect to the default page of the portal that is being accessed, or try to access the page without being authenticated). But this should be globally ok for the ootb portal -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1842?page=comments#action_1239... ] Chris Laprun commented on JBPORTAL-1842: ---------------------------------------- I don't agree. A good web app shouldn't rely on the browser for navigation: it should be self contained and avoid to force users to use the back button or enter URLs directly. As a user, I don't like to be forced to use my browser controls to use an application because it breaks the application metaphor. If I make a mistake while navigating, I expect the application to offer me the possibility to get out of it using its own controls (hence having the opportunity to properly restore any state as appropriate) rather than force me to go outside of the application (use the browser controls) to go back on track. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
