Get rid of "port" field in account setup form
Feature request
User level: Beginners
Description
The port number in the account setup form is superflous in most cases and only complicates the form.
It should be possible to pass the port number in the "Server URL" field as it's done in browers: https://example.org:8081
.
Benefit / value
Account setup form is easier to grasp
Risk / caveats
Users that need a special port number might not know how to add it
Sponsorship
Are you a developer willing to implement this feature?: no
Can you sponsor the development of this feature or do you know someone who can?: yes, 20€
The separation of the "port" field is actually quite useful and by default its "443". If you open your NC instance in the browser you don't need the port number, but using this addon it's required.
Most (new) users might forget the port on the initial setup and nowadays (thanks to Let's Encrypt) the default value is almost true in every case.
