Add Kitely grid URL to Start Viewer Pop-Up

Post by Sherrie Melody »

Since the plug-in is no longer available, it would be nice to have the grid URL included in the Start Viewer pop-up screen (the window that opens when you click Enter World).
That's the only extra piece of information needed to log-in to a Kitely world, as long as the person is using a viewer that has a grid-manager.

I know that the url is provided elsewhere (and I have no problems getting in myself). It's just that with the grid URL included in the pop-up, users semi-experienced with other grids will have all info needed without having to go to another web page.

Hi Sherrie,

We debated whether it was wize to do that as modern viewer versions have Kitely as a preconfigured option in the grid manager so directing people to select Kitely seemed more user friendly than providing them a grid URI that they then need to know may not be required, or if it is required will not know where to enter it in the viewer login section. Instead we opted to include a link to this help page: https://kitely.atlassian.net/wiki/displ ... ual+Worlds

It would be interesting to test how the different options fare but we'd need to set up more advanced site analytics in order to be able to track actual mouse movements on our site - we're currently just using Google Analytics.
