nurpawiki - issue #60

UI makes it hard to get in to Nurpawiki when logging in for the first time


Posted on Oct 1, 2008 by Happy Lion

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Grab a user who's never used Nurpawiki 2. Try to have them click on a todo edit link (or any other that requires login) 3. Observe how they're stumped by the login screen. Everyone has forgotten about "admin" and no password at this point.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should be clear to the user that he tried to do something that requires a login. He should also be instructed what to do.

Perhaps there should be an automated procedure for auto-generating a password for the admin account or that the user would be requested to set up the admin password. Admin password currently defaults to empty which most users won't figure out based on the empty login screen alone.

Mostly fixed in r433 and r434. Next thing would be to improve Tutorial wiki page.

Or make the user responsible for setting their own admin password on first login.
