Get rid of "port" field in account setup form

Open cweiske opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

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

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.
