Re: Turning on source code browser

[Bobby Ninan <bm...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I have been trying unsuccessfully so far to view my Git repository in
Apache Bloodhound's source browser. I am using Bloodhound
0.8.0dev-r1534486. Under the Administration (Global Settings) >
Repositories, I have added a Git repository "foo" in the directory
"/opt/git".

When I login as admin, I do see the Source link. However clicking on it
takes me to the RepositoryAdmin wiki page. When I login as a non-admin
user, I do not even see the Source link. Can you please tell me what I may
be missing here?

Thanks for your time,
Bobby...

Either sounds good to me,

 1. The iconic link would be okay, if, as mentioned, we can determine an
intuitive icon.
 2. Make the name link point to the browser and use an icon-cog to navigate
to the edit page. If we make that change, we should probably make similar
changes for other Admin pages such as Ticket Components, Ticket Milestones,
etc .. It would be strange to go to the Repository Admin page and click on
the name of a repository to have it link to the repository, but on the
Ticket Components page have the name link to the edit page.

If we go with the icon-cog mentioned in (2), another feature to consider
would be having icon-cog links from the Repository Browser index page
directly to the Admin repository edit pages when the user has the
appropriate permissions.

Arrow link is not accurate , something better has to be chosen , of course
. I was trying to suggest something similar to the iconic download icon
next to attachment links

To the admin panel to configure repository attributes

I thought of an icon to save some space ... but anyway ... it's just a
quick suggestion .

Nowhere else in the UI do we use arrows as links I think.

What does the Name link currently go to?

I prefer either the name or something similar to link to it, or show a
normal link: "View source".

An iconic link close to repository name [1]_ ? The arrow may be replaced
with something more obvious , or apply inverse logic to make text link
point to the browser and use icon-cog to navigate to repos admin panel .

I think that adding a link to the repository in the browser is a reasonable
idea, I'm just not sure where we could place the link.

Thank you for your feedback. The implementation of trac:#11351 will
probably provide a better indicator in the case that an invalid repository
directory is specified. I hope to implement that at least by Trac 1.0.3,
but possibly it will make it into Trac 1.0.2, and should be integrated into
Bloodhound shortly after.

Re: Turning on source code browser

[Bobby Ninan <bm...@gmail.com>]

Your suggestion on navigating to /browser/<reponame> was very helpful. I
found that the problem was due to my incorrectly specifying the repository
directory. When I specified the directory as "/opt/git/foo.git", I was able
to navigate the source browser successfully.

Thanks,
Bobby...

yes, because you are in admin area, therefore by clicking on that anchor
you'll navigate to repository admin panel

What do you see when you navigate to /browser/<reponame> ?

Maybe we are lacking on offering a link for users to go straight to
repository browser from corresponding admin pages . If you feel this is the
case please create a new ticket .
