ability to keep track of favorite people. seems we may also be desirable to do this for offers.

Clarifiying, we would want user to have the ability to have 3 favorites, offers, requests, and people/orgs. I think a simple star or bookmark icon next to each listing/person is understandable.

Where would we want stored favorites to be viewable @herestomwiththeweather? I think on people's individual Profile page would be desirable. Also, this should be profile and not publicly viewable.

getting help from @shpytalenko

[shpytalenko]

ok, so you need abality to add people and offers to your favorites from list, and then show all your favorites on profile page. is that right?

[herestomwiththeweather]

a person views her personal activity on the main dashboard page (e.g. /groups/1). it is easier for a person to find her favorites here than navigating to profile. the purpose of favorites is to keep track of things, and i agree with amy that they should not be shared, so there is no reason to put them in the profile.

[shpytalenko]

ok, i got that

[amykirschner]

Sounds good.

[shpytalenko]

where on dashboard i should put view with favorites on main section or in sidebar?

[herestomwiththeweather]

if the idea is to keep favorites for reqs, offers and people, then it seems like a place for favorites would be under the respective requests, offers and people tabs. right now, for requests and offers, there are "active" and "all" links. a "favorites" link could be added adjacent to those. (note it seems the "active" and "all" links will go away soon due to #406).

[amykirschner]

What about putting it in line to the immediate right of categories|neighborhoods in each tab?

categories | neighborhoods | favorites

[shpytalenko]

that's work,but also a nice place to put favorites in each tab( offers, reqs, people) in sidebar. Up to you/

[herestomwiththeweather]

@amykirschner sounds good although a consequence of #468 would be arranging "categories, neighborhoods and favorites" in a vertical dropdown instead of horizontally.

[amykirschner]

@shpytalenko we currently don't have a side bar in those views. Which sidebar are you talking about?

[amykirschner]

@herestomwiththeweather thank goodness you catch these things!

468 is great but doesn't have a champion in the short term. When we get there - deal with replacement of favorites then?

[herestomwiththeweather]

the current implementation of this issue has no dependency on #468. the implementation may have to be tweaked later, though, depending on where the favorites are placed.

[herestomwiththeweather]

Now assigning #468 to me. I plan to have it checked in soon.
