Proposal/ProjectSimpleAccountCreation
v2 v3 7 7 We received a lot of feedback about the BOINC sign-up process over the years, and most of the feedback has been it isn’t as simple as SETI@Home used to be. Now that enough of the pieces are available in the client-side architecture we hope to put this issue to rest once and for all. 8 8 9 The basic idea here is that if a potential volunteer loads the projects homepage and is not currently logged into the website they are presented with a download link. When the download link is clicked a set of cookies are stored in the browser before re-directing the volunteer to the BOINC download page. Once the BOINC client package is installed it’ll look for setup cookies from all the projects in the all_projects_list.xml file which is included with the client package. If the cookies are found it’ll attach to the most recent cookie set. 9 10 == Changes to the Project Website == 10 11 When a volunteer first visits a project's homepage with a supported browser they are presented with a 'download now' link instead of the current 'create account' link. … … 20 21 21 22 if NumberofAttachedProjects == 0 then 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 23 if exists(project_init.xml) or exists(acct_mgr_url.xml) then 24 ... do the same stuff as we do now ... 25 else 26 foreach (project in all_projects_list.xml) 27 if exists(project.cookie) then 28 add project cookie to CookiesFound array 29 endif 30 endfor 30 31 31 32 sort CookiesFound array by CreationTime 32 33 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 34 if CookiesFound.Count > 0 then 35 if CookiesFound[0].IsProject then 36 launch attach to project wizard in automatic mode 37 endif 38 if CookiesFound[0].IsAccountManager then 39 launch attach to account manager wizard in automatic mode 40 endif 40 41 endif 41 42 endif
