Make it possible to add local support groups on map #9

Closed noverby closed 1 month ago

noverby commented 2 years ago

In Denmark (and maybe in many other countries) local support groups are organized as Facebook groups. It would be useful, if it was possible, to add them to the uasupport map.

At this moment you're able to add "Organization" account with all the members being either "Manager" or "Volunteer" but that is not something like facebook group, rather just a way to structure organizations like non-profit associations. Creating a copy of facebook (messaging, sharing, etc) is not that easy. I mean, it is easy to implement but drains a lot of resources (mostly because of realtime DB for messaging and file sharing).

If we can add the uasupport organization to the map, with a link to a Facebook group, then it would be perfect. I didn't mean that everything should be synced between uasupport and FB.

Maybe we can just add Facebook support groups as an option in Aid Center? Then you can add an address and a link to the Facebook group.

I've added a separate section for support groups, there is an option to select the language and there is no location (FB group has no physical location). It should be deployed soon.

@burnpiro In Denmark they actually usually have a location, because they are organized around specific cities/towns.
