Kosovo label on the map

[tovari]

We need to display 'Kosovo' on the map and also add a specific disclaimer.

The typography should be somewhat lighter than the normal country names (e.g. font light version, or grey)

The map disclaimer text:
The name and boundaries of Kosovo are consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the ICJ's Advisory Opinion on the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in Respect of Kosovo.

@frozenhelium, What are the display options for disclaimers? Can we show based on map view, zoom scale? Can we specify text in the disclaimer box based on the page url (e.g. showing it only on the map on the Serbia page)?

@tovari Should Kosovo appear only on the map embedded in GO or should it be available on all places where the default GO Mapbox Style is used?

I'm asking this because, by default, in the GO Mapbox style, we ignore any non-independent territory for admin-0 label.

Kosovo is filtered out because it's independent=false

If we need this across all maps, we should change in Mapbox Studio.
If we need this only on GO, we should ideally change on our GO Frontend code.

@tovari @davidmuchatiza another question — is this only the case for Kosovo or should all non-independent admin0 labels show up on the map?

[tovari]

@geohacker, Kosovo should appear on all maps, so it could be added to the Mapbox Style.
We still need to investigate, if this should be applicable to other independent=false territories.

[geohacker]

Ok! I've added Kosovo with a slightly different style on Mapbox Studio style as well as opened a PR for the go-frontend maps IFRCGo/go-frontend#2863

We should probably work on getting the map styles matched up across the board but that's another ticket.

[esario]

Still open as PR IFRCGo/go-frontend#2863 is not approved.

@tovari Just making sure about the behavior here

• Kosovo should not appear in the list of countries (since it is dependent, independent=false)
• Kosovo label should appear in the map with slightly different style

Quick question, are there other similar dependent region that we should show in the map?

I think we should add an option to force view the label for dependent country in the admin panel instead of using hard coded id in the client. @tovari Let us know if this approach works. CC: @batpad @samshara @udaynwa

Also regarding,

What are the display options for disclaimers? Can we show based on map view, zoom scale? Can we specify text in the disclaimer box based on the page url (e.g. showing it only on the map on the Serbia page)?

Yes it should be possible to changes disclaimer for a specific country page. It should also be possible to show different disclaimer based on the zoom level and current view as well.

Yeah we might want to add a label_always_visible=True or so. But I'm not sure if this is a very common scenario.

[tovari]

correct @frozenhelium.
There will be other cases, but we need to discuss about each of them with IFRC Governance, what is the IFRC view. So, more special cases will come for sure (Western Sahara, Crimea, other disputed territories potentially)

Also, if I search for Kosovo, I'm shown a list of (old) emergencies where the country = Kosovo. If I try to open any of them, I'm shown this error:

We looked into this. Kosovo is responding with a null value for the bounding box. A quick fix would be to add the bounding box using the GO admin panel for Kosovo.

[szabozoltan69]

Ok @udaynwa , and what values should I use for Kosovo bounding box? Is this ok?

[szabozoltan69]

@udaynwa I've set a boundary box for Kosovo (via db).
The GO Admin has some issues about editing boundary boxes. Not clear why those RichText fields are there; in the old Django 3.2 there were no such fields.

This issue does not show up now after fixing the bbox in Kosovo.

[tovari]

The Kosovo label is still not visible on the map.

[frozenhelium]

@tovari it's now visible in the staging (v7.3.12)!

Please note that for now, we've switched to directly using the labels from mapbox style. So, it might have other regression which we'll test and verify. It also means that whenever anything is changed in the style, it'll be reflected in the GO.

Both Serbia and Kosovo are selected when hovered on the map, till a certain zoom level.

@davidmuchatiza I think, this needs to be fixed from mapbox studio
