Summary | 0016422: Install.php should direct people directly to manage_proj_create_page.php | ||||
Description | At the end of the an installation, install.php should direct users to manage_proj_create_page.php. This could save a redirect in some cases. In the future, we should ask users to specify an initial project name as part of the installation | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
I tend to agree with grangeway on this one. While the redirection from login page makes sense as a safety measure when there are no projects in the DB, we can save one redirect by keeping the link in the installer as it was. |

There are two reasons I did it the way it is currently done.
Ideally, we would have a checklist that would show up after administrator login that directs them to the N tasks that we see appropriate. This would be similar to filling in your profile information in LinkedIn or Facebook. You can still do other stuff, but they provide you with an easy place to walk through the steps to have a full profile. At this point, a user can login into MantisBT and not be sure what exactly they should do. Create project is a good first step there. Hope that makes sense. |

Didn't get any further feedback on this so resolving as won't fix. If you guys are not convinced yet, feel free to re-open. |
