#375 black screen preventing authentication

[Scott Cain]

Karthik reports:

Also, when i installed gbrowse2.38, I got a black screen for the
authentication page and I had to revert to GBrowse2.23. Is that fixed now ?

So, could the authentication problem that was fixed in 2.26 have come back?

Hello

This one seems to be easy to fix :

in file Bio/Graphics/Browser2/Render/Login.pm, line 115
(version here :https://github.com/GMOD/GBrowse/blob/f6181397d2fa91e3ef342c32f83988028603160b/lib/Bio/Graphics/Browser2/Render/Login.pm)

replace :
-onMouseDown => "GBox.modalDialog(event,'url:?action=plugin_login',380)"
with :
-onMouseDown => "GBox.showTooltip(event,'url:?action=plugin_login',true)"

Hi,

the same problem occurs when you're no logged in and tried to reach a protected source.
In this case, I have failed to find a solution.

Hi,

I have foud a way to suppress the problem that occurs when you're no logged in and tried to reach a protected source.

in file Bio/Graphics/Browser2/Render.pm line 1891
(version here https://github.com/GMOD/GBrowse/blob/master/lib/Bio/Graphics/Browser2/Render.pm\)

change the $action value :

1890 } else {
1891 $action = "GBox.modalDialog(event,'url:?action=plugin_login',380)";
1892 $output .= $self->render_login_required($action);
1893 }

now GGB 2.54 login pop-up are fully functionnal (both CGI and FastCGI environnment)

Hi,

the way to suppress the problem that occurs when you're no logged
in and tried to reach a protected source DOES NOT work with IE 8.0 .6001.
It works with Firefox 19.0
