Public Links

[diemmarkus]

Is there a possibility to provide public links (without requiring login) to the datasets?

cheers,

We changed public links to requiring mandatory login. The idea was that this would work to further motivate people to register on Scriptnet. Since registering is a really simple process, adding two kinds of public links - public to everyone and public to registered users, by my point of view would only result in adding unnecessary complexity (just a little more complexity, one could argue, yet still unnecessary) to the platform. @bgatos

ok - I have moved the downloads up to the text (since I want to give potential participants the possibility to play with the data before they need any subscription). follow-up question: how do I delete links from existing subtracks?

[sfikas]

I'm not sure I understand the question. Did you try deleting the 'public link' using django admin?

[diemmarkus]

maybe I am just blind - but I do not find a way to remove the links in the django admin:

[sfikas]

Try going first to django admin 'home', then go to the view of all public links, then select it and choose delete.

aj - thanks for the hint : )
is it hard to add a delete button where we create links? (I guess there will be a lot of public links in a few years)

Good point! This goes to the todo list :) #100
