[opensource-dev] More login channels (with missing background images on the login screen) (was: Is there supposed to be a login web page for the development viewer? (An SL screenshot, maybe some text, like the regular viewer has))

[WolfPup Lowenhar]

Actually the ‘Community Developer’ channel for open source before Snowstorm started was Snowglobe and had a static image if I remember correctly. And now even open source that is working on the LL viewer uses the same developer channel as LL. I just wish the pick would cycle like it does in the release version with the grid status api as well, ‘cause I miss those.

When I log in with the development viewer there is no login web page, just a little question mark.  The part at the bottom where you enter your username, password, etc. works fine.  Is there supposed to be an SL screenshot, maybe some text, like the regular viewer has?

 

This should be working now. Apparently we changed the channel name and/or page logic at some point and didn't ensure all of the resources were in place for the "Second Life Development" channel.

Thanks! Looks like more needs to be done, though:

When I build from bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development, the resulting viewer tries to access http://secondlife.com/app/login/?lang=en <http://secondlife.com/app/login/?lang=en&channel=> &channel=LindenDeveloper&version=2.5.0%20%280%29&grid=Agni when loading the login screen.

VIEWER_CHANNEL in indra/cmake/Variables.cmake has been changed from "Developer" to "LindenDeveloper" in ef7a1b4d86a9 <http://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development/changeset/ef7a1b4d86a9#chg-indra/cmake/Variables.cmake>  (so quite some while ago).

"Second Life Development" is only found in  <http://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development/src/d472ad8a5c6f/BuildParams#cl-34> BuildParams as snowstorm_viewer-development.viewer_channel and snowstorm_viewer-development.login_channel. But I guess that is not used for anything but TeamCity builds.

Maybe the page should display some nice image even for unknown channels? If not, at least LindenDeveloper and maybe also Developer should be added to get some background image, too. And wasn't there once a "Community Developer" channel or similar?

Cheers,
Boroondas
