Create, publish, and share maps by combining layers from anywhere on the web.

googlecrisismap's Issues

Make the inspector dialog draggable.

Currently the inspector dialog covers up a lot of the map, which makes it hard 
to see the context of your edits.  It would be nice to be able to reposition 
the dialog by dragging its title.

Administrative script to expunge a user by ID

Occasionally, we need to delete all references to a user given their ID.  Would 
be nice to have a script to do this.

Migrate models to ndb.Model

See https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/ndb/

The models in model.py should inherit from ndb.Model, not (as they currently 
do) db.Model.

Make it easier to copy the URL out of the share dialog on a touch device

Currently, trying to copy the Share URL of a map on a mobile device is 
extremely difficult (e.g. the keyboard pops up once the URL is touched, 
covering up the URL box, and long-press doesn't seem to work for selecting the 
text).  See if it's possible to provide an easy button that just copies the 
share URL to the clipboard, or some other mechanism that's easy to use on a 
mobile device.

Ensure gzip encoding is used when delivering content to mobile phones.

Mess with HTTP headers and do some testing to make sure we're getting the page 
and JS files to mobile phones as efficiently as psosible.

Tests for the admin scripts

What steps will reproduce the problem?

We developed a script at GHC13 open source day (to resolve issue 19).  There is 
no framework for testing scripts, 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

We wanted to include a few tests for our issue in the framework, but this is 
not easy given the way the scripts are developed (other components are in 
python classes with corresponding test classes; the scripts are not).  We did 
some adhoc testing, but this is a fragile approach - other changes to the 
googlecrisismap could invalidate our script.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

N/A

Outgoing GeoRSS feed to allow others to subscribe to map updates

For many use cases (e.g. media outlets embedding a map, crisis mappers looking 
for data), it would be useful for others to subscribe to map updates, so they 
can make announcements about new layers and information becoming available. 

We could offer a georss feed for each map, that includes the name of each 
active layer for a map and some additional metadata (to be determined).  As a 
map gets updated with additional content, the outgoing georss would be 
correspondingly updated for map subscribers to consume.

Default View Layers

The "share" link has to be updated when the view and layers change. Is there a way for the share link not to change when you change the default view?

Add TMS Support to Crisis Map

TMS, or Tile Map Service, is a specification for accessing tiled geo-referenced 
data. This spec has has been adopted by various data providers (e.g. 
publiclaboratory.org) for serving their imagery data. Feature request is to 
support TMS-encoded tiles, and make TMS an available layer type in Crisis Map 
editor dialog.

Add 'x' to clear query in layer filter

Add an 'x' icon to the right of the layer filter box in the panel that clears 
the query by setting it to the empty string. This should update the list of 
layers so that none are filtered out.

Compute folder-level viewport for folder zoom links

Currently, a folder with no defined viewport will have no zoom link, so that 
it's only possible to zoom to individual layers with viewports defined.  There 
is no 1-click way for users to find a folder-level viewport within which to 
toggle sublayers on and off and see the resulting overlays toggled.

We should compute the union of all descendant layers' viewports (or maybe the 
union of currently enabled sublayer viewports) and always display the 
folder-level zoom-to link if at least one descendant has a viewport.

Layer editor dialog doesn't close when layer is disabled

When editing, enable a layer, click on "Edit" link, dialog pops up, disable 
layer, dialog should disappear.

Add analytics event logging to the layer filter

Log an anonymous user action when a user types into the layer filter box.

To avoid logging an action on very character typed, only log an action after 
some delay, e.g. 500ms (0.5s).

Download links trigger the "Unsaved changes" warning

If you've made an edit, then clicking on a "Download KML" link causes the 
"Unsaved changes" warning box to pop up.  It shouldn't pop up, since you aren't 
actually navigating anywhere.

Cluster function

Currently when two or more events are mapped to the same location, the older 
markers are covered up. 

I would like to see a cluster function which allows all markers at the same 
location to be viewable

Remove ScreenOverlays from KML

ScreenOverlays are used within KML to provide attribution and other 
layer-related information, such as legends. In many cases though, the 
ScreenOverlay presents usability issues, esp. on mobile devices. Often the 
ScreenOverlay doesn't add value. Add python code (e.g. remove_screenoverlay.py) 
that strips the ScreenOverlay(s) and reserves the data as an overlay-less KML.

Example KML ScreenOverlays": http://www.osdpd.noaa.gov/ml/land/smoke.kml
Example of ScreenOverlay affecting usability: http://goo.gl/maps/bEkDU (turn 
off NOAA logo and legend at the bottom)

Prompt for confirmation when the user deletes a map

Right now, it's a little too easy to delete a map (just one click), and there's 
no UI for undeletion yet.

Can I still use googlecrisismap in my own app?

Hi,

I'm working on creating my own map app, and interested in using google crisis map as my base map and then putting more layers onto it. However, I'm not sure whether I can still use this googlecrisismap as a part of my own map app?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Remove 'Your list of maps' for non-admins

For non-administrators, the only link they see on the left panel in the map 
list is 'Your list of maps'. Clicking on this link takes them to the same view 
of the page, which is essence, means the link does nothing and would be 
confusing. Request is to remove this link for everyone but non-administrators, 
for whom the link makes sense given the difference admin options (Administer 
goe.com + Published maps (goe.com))

Map doesn't refresh after you edit a layer's min/max zoom fields

When you edit the Minimum zoom or Maximum zoom fields, the map should update to 
reflect these changes (e.g. causing the just-edited layer to disappear from the 
map if the current zoom level is no longer within the zoom range).

Add administrative scripts to locate maps and/or layers that satisfy some criteria

Arose from looking for any layer that referenced a particular URL (one that 
included 'lance-modis'; I wrote the routine below, but it would be nice to 
generalize to a function that would accept a callable as an argument.  The 
function would search the maps and/or layers for those where the callable 
returned true, and then return the results as a list of (mapID, layerID) pairs. 
Then a handful of utility functions that could be used to e.g. look for a 
particular string could be added.

all_maps = Map.GetAll()
all_maproots = []
for m in all_maps:
  all_maproots.append(json.loads(m.current_version.maproot_json))

for m in all_maproots:
  print m.get('id', '<no map id>')
  layers = maproot.get('layers', [])
  print '%d layers' % len(layers)
  for l in layers:
    if 'lance-modis' in str(l):
      print ' -- layer %s (title %s) matches' % (l['id'], l['title'])
    else:
      print ' -- no match'

In legend tab only that layer legend should display which has been selected. 
But instead of it shows all the layers legend of that folder.

Script to delete invitations to a map that haven't been used for 90 days

When map owners invite others to collaborate on a map, that enters their 
guests' email addresses in the map's records until the guests use their 
invitation.  After 90 days, we would like to delete their invitations.
