[Feature Request] users should be asked to enter important information after (first) login

[j-ed]

When a user logs in for the first time he should automatically be asked to enter

• his email address, which is required to receive a password reset link.
• his display name, which is used for display purposes.

Due to the fact that other apps might require initial data to be entered too, like the Roundcube app which requires email account credentials, it would be good to provide a generic plugin interface to request that kind of data.

@j-ed great point! We can add that to the first run wizard. Do you want to contribute and try to take a stab at it? The first run wizard lives at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/tree/master/firstrunwizard, you can let me know if you need help. :)
We don’t really want to offer a pluggable method for that though because then apps can just clutter that up. Email address and display name already covers most.

@jancborchardt I would like to try this one as my first junior job. Are you agree ? Do you have advices for me (thing to do OR not to do) ?

[jancborchardt]

@ryno83 cool! First I would say check out how different other web services do that, like Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Google, etc. Then make a mockup (Pencil is good for that) and accompanying description of how you would design it. Does that work for you?

You are also very welcome in our IRC channels #owncloud-design and #owncloud-dev in case of any questions. :) – cc @owncloud/designers

@jancborchardt I think it should be keep simple than look what i did until now.

If the user select "Don't show again" and click "Close" or if he complete the wizard and click "Finish", the wizard will not show up again. But if the user only close the wizard, it will be show at every logon. The numbers on the left (in circles) will only be there to display the pages of the wizard (current one in gray)

I thought reuse the jQuery ColorBox. Should I ?
Any suggestions, comments will be very appreciated.

@ryno83 @owncloud/designers Maybe we should include this into the first run wizard? ;)

@ryno83 Looks very good. Nice improvment. Just one thing, the new password shoud be typed two times, in case if misstakes.

[ryno83]

@MorrisJobke @owncloud/designers I think so !

[ryno83]

@enoch85 I agree with you !

[jancborchardt]

@ryno83 nice work! Just a few things:

• As @MorrisJobke also said, we should combine this with the first run wizard. Or rather, build it in there directly (instead of core)
• Basically you can boil it down to one screen which is a combination of the first run wizard and the personal detail fields. Some things can be removed:
  • The first screen is not really of use since it just introduces the concept of a wizard. I’d directly start with the second where you put in your info
  • The Notifications settings are pretty well set by default, so I don’t see a need to show them here.
  • Similarly, the password shouldn’t even be changeable here as it’s not important – you just logged in with it. We only need to ask for things which are not there already. ;)
• Add the profile image adding! That’s very important for sharing.
• Also let people know their remote sharing url (like username@example.com/owncloud cc @schiesbn)
