Description Boris Bokowski

2011-04-27 23:28:09 EDT

I have implemented the following:

- third-party website makes a link available:
 orionhub.org/add-extension.html#http://somesite.com/extension.html
- user clicks on the link, the resulting page asks for confirmation whether 
 http://somesite.com/extension.html should be installed.
- upon successful installation, if the extension has a post install URL, the user's browser gets redirected to that URL.

Since we don't have "create patch" implemented yet, I will be committing and pushing my changes. We can always revert should I have introduced new security problems :-)

Susan, do we have any page that is similar to this one? I wasn't sure how best to style it, the page needs more spacing between the various (text) elements, and probably a bigger font, but I didn't want to invent something new all by myself.

I hacked in an outer div with appropriate margin and opened bug 344171 for a better fix later.  We'll be making the spacing consistent in a visual polish pass and part of this will be ensuring that the classes do it for you.
