We need to allow users to manage their entry details

[timlinux]

Problem

Currently there is no way to:

• edit your record details
• move your record marker
• delete your record

  Proposed solution

For editing or deleting their entry, the user should be sent an email with the following wording after initially creating their point:

Dear {{ user.name }}

Thank you for adding yourself to the user map at {{ url }}. If this record was not added by 
yourself, read on below for more information on how to remove it again.

Please note that the following information in your user record will be freely downloadable 
by anyone visiting the user map page:

* Your name
* your longitude
* your latitude
* the date you added yourself 
* your role (user, developer, trainer)

If you are concerned about your privacy, we recommend you edit your record (you can 
do so using the link provided below) and generalise the position of your point (for example 
to the centre of your nearest town / state or province or country).

Deleting or editing your user record does not require a user name or password, only that 
you click on this unique (for your user record) link below:

http://{{ url }}/edit/{{ user.guid }}

If you have ever forget your special link above, you can request this message to be 
resent to you by using the 'I forgot my edit link' option on {{ url }}.

Thank you for taking the time to register yourself on our site!

As the email outline above implies we need a few more views:

• /edit/<guid> - When the user arrives at this view, the map should be loaded as per usual, but an additional button should be available under the [ + ] and [ - ] buttons that when pressed will zoom the user to their map pin and pop up the user's record so that it can be edited.
• /delete/<guid> - When the user is on edit view (see above) the trash can icon, when clicked should invoke this view and (after prompting the user to make sure they really want to delete themselves) cause the user's record to be deleted. On successful deletion the user should be redirected to the normal user map.
• /reminder/ - Will pop up a form asking the user to enter their email address which when submitted will send the user a repeat of the email as above (if the email exists in our db) and then show a message in the dialog saying email sent, or show a message saying email is not valid.

@timlinux, Can you give opinion which attributes can be edited?

[akbargumbira]

For now, I set email attribute as uneditable input. Otherwise, we have to send confirmation to new email. These 2 possibilities are ok for me.

[akbargumbira]

Since we don't check that email has been registered/not when add a user, then email is not unique. For reminder feature, I only fetch the first data returned from query. Should I send email to all data returned from query? or the email should be unique?

[timlinux]

Hi

We should definately make the email unique - good catch!

And to confirm, yes all fields should be editable except:

• id
• guid

Tim
