I think there's a problem with this, that is that we cannot have a popup inside a popup. Does anyone have any other ideas of how to present this information?

Either way, it's not too urgent, as we can always get this information from the Configuration management screen.

For 2.4, I think a solution would be to not show a popup when we click on the directive button, but to instead show the popup content in a subsection between "Node Summary" and "Hardware" (or elsewhere).

The advantage to that solution is that all the information on a new node is display the same way.

What do you think?

What do you think?

• Remove the column "Directive" from the table of pending nodes
• Add a tab to the detailed view of a pending node, along side "Node Summary", "Hardware", "Network", etc to contain the same information

If so, I agree, and I think this is a good idea. This would ideally be in the same tab position as the "Reports" tab for accepted nodes, since the content will be similar. It could be called "Configuration policy".

That was not corrected in 2.4, so we still have the bug.

I propose to move the last comment as a new feature request, and as a bug correction for that one, to simply:

• remove link for groups and directives
• add a link for the rule name, that will redirect to the rule (and so the user is able to see the rule (even in a new tab so that he does not loose its context)

It's clearly not ideal, but I don't see what we can do that is not disruptive for 2.4.

Works for me. Please go ahead :)

I don't see that as a blocker for 2.4.0 as it's a long time pending bug, so I will do it but we should not wait for that one for 2.4.0~RC2 (nor final).

OK, but can you please create the user story you suggested and link it from here?

I'm leaving this assigned to you, there is nothing I can do here.

The other user story is #3060

here is the pull request : https://github.com/Normation/rudder/pull/53
