Bug #1296
closedRegistry: Need to login before the form is filled
0%
Description
There is a request for putting login first. The reason for the request is that
it might be frustrating for a user to fill in the form and then realize at the
end that username and password is needed to create or modify the document.
One possible change is to specifically notify the user in the beginning that a
username and password will be required and asked for on the next page.

Also, once login is established first, then the stylesheets can be smart about
which of the records a given user can edit, and only make the editing controls
available if the user has editing rights.

This functionality is already implemented for ESA skin and should be extended to all the other skins. So these are more of configuration changes rather than codebase changes

Fixed for skins which use the registry (NCEAS, ESA, NRS, OBFS, SPECNET, LTSS). Changed registry workflow to redirect users to login page prior to displaying form, to prevent data loss. NCEAS and ESA use custom skin-login.xsl templates within their skin folders, the other skins use common/login.xsl to redirect logged in users to registry form.
