solutionlocale.ca's Issues

Add a page on site, or md file on github, that lists our open source tools and packages

FAVICON

Your site is neat but it lacks a little favicon :)

Have a way to "temporarily close" places

As more drastic lockdown action are happening, some business choose to close for the time being, and some of them where already in the directory. We have to add an option so moderator can temporarily close / hide said businesses.

Anyone can make us some tests?

I must admit, I'm not one for tests, although I'd like to, I do code without tests... And its a real shane. So if anybody can tackle this, that'd be awesome!

I guess some propre seeds would also be required too then.

Show categories as multi level when filtering, rather than all of them.

Make it so that moderators can modify places addresses

That way we don't need someone with database access to clean up the ocasional Algolia's weird results... ! ;-)

Prevent spam in public submissions

For now, we moderate, and don't see many spam but we probably should be ahead of the problem. Honetpot package or Google's captcha ?

Suggestion - Show category in listing

It is not obvious what kind of place we are looking at just by the name. It would be nice to actually show what category the place is related to without much trouble and would be a great addition without being too cumbersome

Adds a filter to get all places that do postal delivery

Would call it distribution postale.

Suggestion: open the API to create new place

The API is cool. We are thinking about using the API to show specific region (lanaudière, laurentide, etc.).

Some region feels a little empty on solutionlocale.ca for now, so we would like to be able to create new places from the API, sharing the place with everyone instead of storing it on our side.

We can always redirect people to solutionlocale.ca to create their new place, but an API would be nicer.

Deleting a place does not cascade, we should see for an eloquent event and act accordingly

Add region and place name to page title to have better SEO scores

Search for places

We have to be able to make a quick search in all places. Not especially for visitors, but for our moderators who need to edit places really.

Add category filter in the "all" page

Surfing this page would benefic from category filter.

Randomize or alphabetically sort places on public listing

Adding new users from admin interface

Registration is closed, so we should be able to add new users from the backend to facilitate new addition of moderators to the team.

Add a filter for Categories

At least for top-level categories: Alimentation, Santé et hygiène, Maison et télétravail, Transport, Services à la communauté, Animaux

A way for public (or places owner) to suggest modifications

Maybe? Maybe not.

Force at least one mean of contact

Curently, telephone numbers, email or website url are optional. We want to force at least one of them for a submission to be acceptable.

Provide view option for a compact list

Ideally, the list would be sortable.

Provide custom filters to Places list

Request is by default sort alphabetically and add 'Newest first', 'By City'.

Extrapolate RCM from municipality

We want to be as local as we can, so we'd really like for each place to be associated with its RCM (les MRC, pour les francophones!).

At first we thought that Algolia Places was returning the information, which it does, but really incoherently. But someone pointed out this dataset from Élection Québec that have postal code and RCM informations.

The idea would be (probably) have an Event that, on Place created that takes postal code and pull the RCM info to the field in the Places table... And an artisan command that would go over existing Places to update the information.

Add parent relationship to categories

Based on the list of new categories, add a parent relationship capability to categories.

There is no list of closed place for moderator to go back and reopen if neccesary

Suggestion - Merge with https://achetelocal.com

I've had a similar idea to yours about right when you started solution-locale and your project took off while mine stagnated since I don't have as much free time available to develop many features.

I had plans to add filtering but school came back around and I do not think I will be able to add it before the month of may and since then solution-locale may be well on its way.

I would like to know what are your plans the efforts in upcoming weeks and months are like and if it would be mutually beneficial to merge my knowledge with yours from https://achetelocal.com

Add an option to hide address

Some poeple don't want to enter their full asdress as the business isn't publicly available (online store for example). We have to add a way to prevent the address to show if wanted.

Automatically add old form data when redirected back because of errors

Title says it all. Curently the form is partly using the old() helper.

Provide moderators a list of possible doubles in the database

For now, it's easy for them to just look for doubles, but as we're getting more partners in with their own source of places to add, we're facing a potential problem with hunting and correcting doubles.

Some functionality that scans the database to present possible cases to moderator would be great.

My very own, albeit old, package for string similarities might help!

Link moderators to regions

Linking users to specific regions to moderator would ensure they don't moderate regions they don't need to, reducing risks of trouble... But especially, if reduces the amount of stuff on their screens, makes them less anxious! :)

Add a link to the map when not on index page (ie: regions, etc.)

Display places on a map

The current Algolia Place autocomplete returns to us a latitude and longitude when entering a new place to the database. We do save this information, but now, we should be making something out of it !

Maps, anyone?

Pre-fill RCM data with previous form choices when redirecting on error

Backup scheme

Let's use spatie's backup package and be safe quick.

Address autocompletion with Algolia Places causes trouble

The returned payload from Algolia Places isn't standardized. For some reasons, some times it gives you some specific fields we use (like address, or city), and sometimes it doesn't.

We need to address this, either by letting the autocomplete go and opt for more granulated fields, or find something that works better.

Pro of using Places: gives us corrected adderss information when it recognizes the address correctly; gives us latitude and longitude of said place so we can put them on a map later on.

Cons of using Places: causes problems ;-)

Provide map view

Delivery zone should stay empty if they did not choose a delivery option

Force uppercase on postal code when creating a Place

https://solutionlocale.ca/places/ajout

When creating a Place, we should force uppercase on the postal code field. It would make the data render under the same structure.

A command to normalize data

Akin to #53 , but we might want to have a command that would run once in a while to normalize all address data we can.

Geocodeio (already in the project) could, for example, help us normalize city names. But we have the limitation of the number of API calls, we'd have to heavily cache data... And maybe even add a field to the place model that tells us if it had been normalized so we don't go over it too much.

Create a docker file for the project

If there is actions to do before running the Docker, please update the README.md file.

Add a notice to the URL field in submission form

We have to add a notice that says that an URL / website address can be a Facebook page address, as people don't seem to realize it :/

Validation of PlaceRequest seems to return same message two time

We'll add some variety to it.

Regenerate slug on name change

API to access the database

The idea is to have the project as open as possible, and as such, we want to open the data in the form of an API.

It's not high on the priority list, but it's there!

Add a field so people can give some feedback / notes to moderators to see when submitting places

Multiple places with same address are up one another in the map

I'm not sure how we'd solve this, but this sometime explains the incorrect number shown on clusters.

Add a new field for Facebook link

Curently, URL is there for whatever website they want. People are confused sometimes (😕 ), so we'll add another field specifically for their facebook page addess.

Make sure to validate places URL that need to contain HTTP

Curently field is free to enter url as one want, and we need to force HTTP(s) if it's not entered on place submission.

Count on places seems to always been one over

For example, at the moment, in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, total count is 8, but checking the couny by category gives us 9. Clicking on "produit d'épicerie", who's supposed to be at one entry, shows nothing.
