Redmine Bug #7220 (Resolved): ORCID links in View Service output don't open in a new tabhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/72202017-10-20T22:22:07ZBryce Mecummecum@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Generally, external links on the View Service page open in a new tab, utilizing the HTML5 target attribute. I just noticed that the links to ORCID profiles do not. This was my mistake back when I added the feature. We should fix this!</p>
<p>Note: This applies only to EML documents at the moment.</p> Task #7218 (Closed): Merge revision 10194 into the next release branchhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/72182017-10-13T00:36:17ZBryce Mecummecum@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I could just Slack this but I thought I'd do an Issue since it's after-hours and I didn't want to send an email. I made a change, revision 10194 back in March and it looks like it never got merged onto a branch for release so the bug it fixed is still affecting Metacat installs. I think the reason it didn't get merged is because I didn't know we cherry-picked commits onto branches to manage release but I know this now!</p>
<p>Jing, could you please merge this sometime so it gets deployed during the next deploy cycle?</p> Bug #7149 (Resolved): Private metadata is indexed as isPublic=truehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/71492016-10-28T19:22:20ZBryce Mecummecum@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Jesse just pointed out this strange behavior to me. With Chrome, I get a "Failed -- Needs authorization" error in my download toolbar when I click the Download button on this metadata doc. I expected to be able to download the file this way and not to receive an error.</p>
<p>To reproduce:</p>
<p>- Log in to <a class="external" href="https://arcticdata.io/catalog">https://arcticdata.io/catalog</a><br />- Browse to <a class="external" href="https://arcticdata.io/catalog/#view/arctic-data.1580.1">https://arcticdata.io/catalog/#view/arctic-data.1580.1</a><br />- Click the "Download" button in the row for "Metadata: Passive acoustic data from A2 in the Bering Strait" <br />- Observe the download fails and that, at least in Chrome, you see a "Failed - Needs authorization" error</p>
<p>To check that this was a problem with MetacatUI instead of something else, I used my token and the R client to get sysmeta on the object (successful) and bytes (successful). So something's up.</p> Task #7095 (Closed): Improve error message for: User tried to update an access module when they d...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/70952016-08-26T23:14:49ZBryce Mecummecum@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>We get this error all the time when doing various (apparently illegal) operations:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>User tried to update an access module when they dont have ‘ALL’ permission!"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is there an easy way for this error message to become more useful? It's a message that gets leaked out to non-developer users and I would argue that it's a confusing error message that doesn't give enough information for the user to fix it.</p>
<p>It could be improved if it said which access module was the culprit and which object(s) was trying to assert access over.</p>
