Permalinks for individual boxes #16
Comments
Each box should have a unique identifier assigned (random or procedural) that can be easily shared with others. Within the popup for a given mailbox, a text box showing the permalink URL for that specific box should be displayed (likely at the bottom, below the "save" button. "Share" button functionality noted in separate issue: #31 |
We already have a unique ID which is the outlet ID, currently this is displayed when clicking on a collection box (both surveyed and unsurveyed). After digging into this feature a bit though it is a little more complicated than initially expected due to the way vector tiles work. We would likely need a backend solution to query a feature. Not completely out of the question for now but we have the lat/lng URL hash now that sort of solves this issue. |
I agree that the lat/lng URL hash gets the job done. |
Such as:
http://spot-the-box.us/#{Outlet_ID}
I'm just thinking of a use case where someone says, "can anyone verify if this box is still there?" with a link to that box on the map. When visited, the map zooms to that box (and perhaps open the Popup).
And users would need a way to discover the permalink. I think the most appropriate place would be within the Popup.
