Remove Alternate Accession IDs Links For E-GEOD
Context
The EMBL-EBI website has undergone changes, resulting in the unavailability of pages for accession codes starting with E-GEOD. This has led to a 404 error when attempting to access these pages. Despite this, the client still renders links for the Alternative Accession IDs for E-GEOD. This issue has sparked the need to update the client and unlink the E-GEOD alternative accession IDs.
The Problem: Unavailable E-GEOD Accession IDs
The link for Alternate Accession IDs E-GEOD-73072 returns a 404 error when accessed. This is evident from the following URL:
As a result, it is essential to address this issue and update the client to prevent further confusion and potential errors.
Solution: Removing URLs for E-GEOD Alternative Accession IDs
To resolve this issue, we propose removing the URLs for the E-GEOD alternative accession IDs. This will prevent the client from rendering links that lead to unavailable pages. The solution involves unlinking the E-GEOD alternative accession IDs, ensuring that users are not misled by the presence of links to non-existent pages.
Alternative Solution: Hiding the Alternative Accession IDs Values
Another possible solution is to completely hide the Alternative Accession IDs values by removing the row from the page. This approach would eliminate the need to display the text value, thereby preventing any potential confusion. However, this solution may not be desirable, as it would remove valuable information from the user interface.
Feedback and Implementation
To move forward with the solution, we need to gather feedback from Deepa and implement the chosen approach. This will ensure that the update is effective and meets the requirements of the client.
Solution Implementation Steps
- Get Feedback from Deepa: We need to reach out to Deepa and discuss the proposed solution, ensuring that it meets the client's expectations.
- Implement the Chosen Solution: Once feedback is received, we will implement the chosen solution, either by removing URLs for E-GEOD alternative accession IDs or by hiding the alternative accession IDs values.
