Timothy Case: is the idea behind the javascript redirect that it opens up a new tab or window?
vincew@mac.com: no
vincew@mac.com: it would redirect in the same window/tab
Timothy Case: why js instead of regular redirect?
vincew@mac.com: a regular redirect done how?
vincew@mac.com: as in redirect_to in rails?
Timothy Case: yeah good point
Timothy Case: what's the redirect for?
Timothy Case: so like
Timothy Case: why not have a link
Timothy Case: that goes from
Timothy Case: tcca-car.econify.com
Timothy Case: to
Timothy Case: goldsilver.heroku.com
Timothy Case: but really
Timothy Case: goes through userstore
Timothy Case: so that if the user is arleady logged into
Timothy Case: tcca-car.econify.com
vincew@mac.com: I don't want to put any specific code in the branch for canada since we're trying to unify all countries into the same codebase
Timothy Case: then they can visit goldsilver
Timothy Case: without having to log in again
Timothy Case: okay well if the redirect goes through the userstore
Timothy Case: hmm
Timothy Case: wait let me check something
Timothy Case: okay so the redirect is designed to support what exactly?
Timothy Case: signing in?
Timothy Case: or going from one site to the other?
vincew@mac.com: Ideally you visit car/brigades/5 and it redirects you to gs.heroku and remembers whether you're logged in or not
Timothy Case: ahh okay
Timothy Case: I think I understand now
Timothy Case: yes that could work
vincew@mac.com: cool
vincew@mac.com: so the edit brigade functionality is unescaped
vincew@mac.com: so I should be able to insert javascript there in the brigade description to do the redirect
vincew@mac.com: if you pass along the URL I should redirect to I can test it out
Timothy Case: okay
Timothy Case: so what I should do
Timothy Case: is take the gold silver
Timothy Case: demo
Timothy Case: make sure there is a part that is protected
Timothy Case: and you can't see it unless you are logged in
Timothy Case: I should send you that url
Timothy Case: and if it works
Timothy Case: we have the solution done
Timothy Case: does that make sense?
vincew@mac.com: Can you just redirect me to / and display the username if logged in or a signin button if not?
Timothy Case: yes
Timothy Case: you could do it that way
Timothy Case: want to do that?
vincew@mac.com: ok, let's do it that way then
Timothy Case: okay so I just need to wire up
Timothy Case: the home page
Timothy Case: to display user name
Timothy Case: or sign in
Timothy Case: the url
Timothy Case: will be
Timothy Case: goldsilver.heroku.com
vincew@mac.com: yup
