[GeoNetwork-devel] Feedback on GeoNetwork 2.7

Hi everybody,

I recently started to use GeoNetwork 2.7 for a new web site. I make here my feedback for the bugs that I encountered.

When I’m using Mozilla Firefox 4 for open GeoNetwork, some link doesn’t work. But if I open it with Internet Explorer
and after come back on mozilla, the links work.

The “register” link for create a new account doesn’t work. With firebug I know that the link is geonetwork/srv/en/user.register.get
but when I want to save it:
“Error, registration failed:
Sorry, registration failed, please try again later.”

Now the bug is about the new interface, Sandbox for GUI components:
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/proposals/componentsBasedGui

The “Quick links” have two positions:

  • In the footer on the main page
  • In the left on the other page
    When it is in the footer, the links don’t work.

When we search something, the result appear with a control bar on the top. This control bar doesn’t always appear.

When i put a metadata with the privileges “Featured”. It’s appear on the RSS flux on the default interface but not on the new interface.
RSS flux not implemented in that interface ?

Must I open some ticket ?
Best regards,
Stéphane

This message is returned not because of a bug but because you most likely haven't config'd the necessary params in Administration->System Configuration. Fields are:

Site->Name and Organization
Feedback->Email, SMTP Host and SMTP Port
GeoNetwork Authentication->Enable user self-registration

This needs to be documented - that is a doco task.

'Register' shouldn't appear in the banner menu unless these params are config'd - that is a bug I suspect as I can't recall why that should appear without user self-registration being enabled - it's fixed in svn rev 8032.

Cheers,
Simon
