Data Marshal loaded client side links are being blocked by Browser.

[newbreedofgeek]

Current "View Data" logic talks to the Data Marshal and gets back the URL and then does this to open a new browser window with the link. https://github.com/Itheum/data-dex/blob/stg/src/DataNFT/MyDataNFTsMultiversX.tsx#L249

This method was used so that we can "stream out" data. i.e. it downloads the file if possible.

But this seems to appear as a popup blocked.

Need to work out another way to do it.

Not possible to change the way the marshal streams out data via a popup.. so now we show a nice UI message to user to allow popups.

@fuzzyduke pls check and close

The below is seen as expected during the process however, while the popup is blocked should the below continue to be seen with the user acknowledging via button click. Currently the message is seen for a brief period and then the popup disappears.

Clarifications I got from @fuzzyduke:

He means that the instruction screen regarding popups should stay on screen until the user allows popups or closes the window themselves rather than just staying on screen for X seconds.

Unfortunately this wont be possible @fuzzyduke

• at the moment, once the Data Marshal URL is loaded in a new tab, the progress model will close automatically. But this is fine as the data stream has loaded.
• if the user has blocked the popups then it's a bit more complex as user needs to go into browser settings and unlock it.

Maybe what we can have is some extra text on the progress model that links out to a "Not seeing data FAQ" page on docs.itheum.io

Let's aim to do this and then close this ticket.
