Opening the app from a link opens the page in a new "tab" of the app

[marc-farre]

In some cases, when clicking on a link (e.g. an email from Humhub), the page opens in the app, but in a sort of new "tab" inside the app.

It seams to happen in 2 situations:

• I'm logged to the Humhub instance via an SSO
• I'm opening a link form a different Humhub instance (excepting for links from the https://community.humhub.com/ instance for which I'm redirected to the initial form allowing me to enter the Humhub instance URL)

@PrimozRatej I've also managed to open the app several times by clicking on links in email notifications.
When I look at the "opened apps", I can see multiple Humhub apps.

Hey @marc-farre, could you please provide me with a screenshot for this?

[marc-farre]

@PrimozRatej On this screenshot:

1. is the first launch of the app on the desktop
2. is the second instance of the app, opened when clicking on a link of an email notification

It seams that:

• When clicking on a link of the https://community.humhub.com/ instance, it opens it in a new app instance
• When clicking on a link of other instances, it opens it inside the app, but in a sort of new tab or window (see screenshot of my first comment)

If you want to try, you can create an account on the https://demo.cuzy.app/ instance here: https://www.cuzy.app/try/

@PrimozRatej Thanks!
@marc-farre Can you please test with v1.0.83

[marc-farre]

@PrimozRatej thanks! It makes it a lot better!

What happen when I test:

• I was connected to instance 1 and 2, but currently on instance 1
• I clicked on an email link for instance 2
• It opened the app, but I had a blank screen
• I closed the app and clicked again on the link
• It opened the app, and this time I was prompt the instance 2 URL
• I clicked on "Connect" and was properly redirected to he content
• I clicked on another email URL, for instance 1
• The app opened directly the content (no need to click on "Connect")
• I clicked again on the email URL for instance 2 (as I've done twice before)
• The app opened directly the content (no need to click on "Connect")

So first tests weren't perfect, but now it works well, I don't know why.

After a while, I had to enter again the login / password.

Another thing: if I'm on instance 1 and there is a mobile notification about instance 2, after clicking on this notification, the mobile app opens, but stay on instance 1.
Then, if I click on the email notification link, it opens correctly the instance 2.

Hey @marc-farre about the test case, sounds to me like a cache problem, can you try to clear it?
About push notifications redirects, looking into it.

sounds to me like a cache problem

Yes, could be. Today I have no bug! I'll try later.

Hey @marc-farre, regarding the re-login, did you encounter any new problems?

Just merged the PR and released 1.0.84

[marc-farre]

Hey @marc-farre, regarding the re-login, did you encounter any new problems?

I can still have the problem in 2 situations

1/

• Open the app in Humhub instance 1
• Close the app (if you don't close it, it's OK)
• Click on a link or a push notification of instance 2
• The app asks you to enter the URL of the instance, but is pre-filled with the URL instance 1
• If you don't pay attention to the false URL and just enter the app, it opens in a new tab

Should be solved with #145

2/
The problem still occurs when the FireBase Device is not registered.

Should be solved with humhub/fcm-push#30

About push notifications redirects, looking into it.

Thanks, it works!

@marc-farre I'm closing it. Let me know when it's still open.
