Pull Request: https://github.com/CAcertOrg/cacert-devel/pull/2 |
|

As there are collections about how to work with certificats in the Wiki for different browsers and with different approaches, I think it would make a lot more sense to place a link to the wiki instead then to describe it in the software. Additionally this would be more or less a handbook for OTHER software projects. If those other projects change how they handle certificates we would have to change our software just to maintain a handbook for them, not because the software itselfe would have to be adapted. |

After the discussion in the software telco about the text I created a fix and push it to https://github.com/INOPIAE/CAcert/commit/5dc9fb148fb2f996bee22e45513a2953f66a2dce |

Test instructions: 1. If you are not logged in the menue should show a menue entry funding with a link to the current funding projects. 2. After the creation of a client certificate the final page should show text about how to find information to install your certificate with a link to the wiki. 3. On the same page there should be a link to the funding page 4. The donations page should show an entry for funding with a link to the funding page. |

When I was not logged in, the menue contained a link to a funding page. When I clicked the link, I got the funding page opened in a new window. -> ok I logged into an account and created a new client certificate. When the process was finished, I got a page that contained a link to installing information for the certificate in the wiki and a another link about some funding (both contained/"hidden" in the text - I did not find it on first glance) When I tried the Wiki-Link, the according wiki page was opend in the SAME window. There was no direct possiblity to get back to the final-certificate-creation-page, using the "back"-option of the browser got me back to the start of the certificate creation process -> not optimal I completed another certificate completion process. When I tried the Funding-Link the funding page was opened in the SAME window. There was no direct possiblity to get back to the final-certificate-creation-page, using the "back"-option of the browser got me back to the start of the certificate creation process -> not optimal It would be a lot better to have both links opened in a new page as it is when one is not logged in. This is especially true as one would miss the other information about the certificate and the other link. This is not tragic as one can find the same information and page by going going to "view certificate" and clicking at the specific certificate that one had just created. However this may be disturbing and unintuitive for new users. -> ok but not optimal |

|
The change request for opening the links in a new window has been applied to the bug branch and ported to the testserver. |
|
|
I created a new certificate and saw again the text with the two links. Both links opened a new window with the according content (see last test done by me). -> ok When not logged in there is no change to above test. -> ok => OK |
|
|
Te link to the Wiki is correct. But on that wiki page there is missing a hint, that you have to import the certificate into your email client after you exported it to your local drive |

I just rebased the bug-1379 to the current release branch. So, we could continue work on this issue... |
