Description Andy Grundman 2009-08-10 09:29:00 UTC

Because multiple query screens are used.  We should probably do something that redirects the browser to MySB in this case.  Any ideas Matt?

Comment 1 Weldon Matt 2009-08-10 09:34:52 UTC

CC-ing Seth on this one.

I don't think there will ever be plans to add app installation options to the SC Web UI, though I'm curious for Seth's thoughts on this.

My vote would be to redirect clicks on the "app gallery" menu item to the mysb.com "app gallery" page (in a new tab).  Second option would be to remove the app gallery as a menu item altogether.

Seth?

Comment 2 Andy Grundman 2009-08-10 09:38:36 UTC

Sorry I wasn't clear.  This is *NOT* the App Gallery, but App Setup, i.e. you go to Pandora without an account and get the "I have an account" option, etc.

Comment 3 Weldon Matt 2009-08-10 10:32:10 UTC

Oh ok... same solution though, basically, redirect to the "my apps" page for login in a new tab.  I think this is acceptable for now.

Comment 4 Seth Schulte 2009-08-10 13:43:00 UTC

Agreed. I think the best (or at least most expedient) approach is to link to mysb.com to the relevant app to complete this. 

The only thing I might add is some sort of messaging in SB Server that tells the user they need to complete the app setup before they can use it (and then provide a link to mysb.com that opens in a new browser window/tab).
