<< back to Maps in Openplans

 First Phase of collaborative mapping: annotated map.

1. General Content

• The map opens in full view, same as current demos on stella + artois.
  
• All navigation tools should be made available here.
  
• All logged in users can add "notes" to the map in any location. Login details described at bottom.
  
• All types of notes are also bundled together (same as other content types).
  

 

2. View details of a note, click on a note

 

 

3. View notes details: click on add a comment or # of comments

About notes:

• Notes can only be edited by their authors (working on the scenario where anyone can edit anyone's notes now)
• Moving notes around. Add a 'change note's location' button. ***DETAIL
• Notes can be deleted by their authors, all associated comments will also be deleted.
  
• 
  

About comments:

• A comment can be deleted by its author as well as by the author of the note it belongs to.
• We should maybe have a way to inform commenters when their comment was deleted.
• 
  

4. Add a note

The "add a note" button gets highlighted.
The note can be dragged and dropped anywhere.

...mmm ******MISSING SAVING OF POSITION.    It's ok.  Saving can happen when the note's properties are confirmed after the first editting popup opens.

 

 

5. View History of map: feed

Note: this mock-up does not show that once an item in the history list is select, the map should probably re-center and zoom in onto this item, and open its associated tag.

 

6. Note tags details and options

NOTE VIEW OPTIONS AND DETAILS
 

1.

Each note badge contains:

• Title of note
• Author and date of creation
• Content (expand as needed)
• # Of comments & Add comment: links to the comment detail view
• Permalink: word and behavior TBD ******......
• Close button
  

2.

Another option for the VIEW, EDIT, HISTORY where HISTORY would record all changes made on the note. VS. #2 with no history. **** 

3.  

NOTE EDIT and CREATION DETAILS

Fields are:

• Title
• Category: Problem / Suggestion / Other, specify --opens an extra field (see below)
  Category determines the color of the note and its marker on the map.
  
• Details --main content of the note
• Keywords --will later be used with our tagging engine
• Save and Cancel
• Close button + would be great to try a resize of this window for people who want to add more or less text (totally optional).
  

A NOTE's content can only be changed by its creator. We need some place where a user's notes are recorded and can be accessed easily. This will be a good place for deleting etc...

Anyone can add comments on any note.
 

 

 

7. Login and Edit rights

• The add a note button appears regardless of whether you are logged in or not. However, it should be slightly grayed out when you are not logged in. 
• The EDIT button on a note show ONLY appear when you are logged in and autorized to edit the content of that note.
• The ADD A COMMENT button should always appear, but also be grayed out if you are not logged in.
• Clicking on a grayed out item when not logged in is followed by:
•  PSM style message appears: "Please sign in to continue."
• Login form appears, should offer options to retrieve username and password and "new user? Sign in" which would take you to the join page.
  
• Detailed behavior of this form should be same as current OpenPlans -link to previous specs and workflow
  
• When user sucessfully signs in, the operation he attempted to do happens and a PSM style message appears on top "You have successfully signed in".
