missing icons

[dalekunce]

lots of icons are missing. Need some guidance about how to add icons into the UN OCHA font.

In /GeoAngular/app/config.js, you'll see an object that maps ECOS disaster types to UNOCHA icon names.

Using the demo UNOCHA .html file in the fonts directory (view here), you can map additional UNOCHA icons to ECOS disaster types.

One issue is that the types coming out of ECOS are not consistent - they sometimes are delimited by a semi-colon, sometimes by a comma, and sometimes by themselves. The mapping we have in the screen shot above is based on what is actually coming out of ECOS.

@dalekunce (couple questions in the notes below that maybe you can help with)

• the missing icons are just for disasters logged in ECOS? or for other things as well?
• it's weird that 'new disaster' interface has entries in the disaster type list that are category dividers but that they are selectable:
• complete lists of the types and categories are here
• you can select more than one type, so occasionally a delimited list coming out of ECOS makes sense. no idea why some would have a semi-colon and some a comma. was there data import(s) that may have somehow caused inconsistencies? who do i ask about how the data on type is stored in the db when a new disaster is created through the salesforce interface?
• just one icon displays for a given disaster regardless of how many types have been assigned?
• @apollolm if the delimiting character was consistent could the value used in the lookup be trimmed before checking the config object (so it just uses the first one)?

@danbjoseph

• some sectors are missing icons as well
• I guess we need top level 'placeholder' icons as well
• intern task to associate all the right icons
• need to ignore the list and just use the first disaster type, it will get to complicated otherwise
• only one icon will display on the map
• we can only ask @apollolm questions for one more week

@dalekunce

• ignoring the list and just using the first disaster type involves adjusting the code beyond just adding to the config file?
