ability to generate a report via a modal form that includes the current map view

[jywarren]

People often want to annotate a location with some text, for example if it's a pollution site. We should make something that opens a form you can add text to, and has a configurable function to submit it to a remote URL!

This could be partially broken out as a separate leaflet-form library at some point...

Good reference here - https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-20-2017/compile-screenshots-and-urls-for-aerial-images-of-harvey-damages-in-a-spreadsheet-for-reporting

It could also include the layers that are being viewed during the report!

Hi @jywarren

Can you elaborate these points : 1.) Form or something like that should open on map and then we add some text and automatically take latitude and longitude , AND the layers currently selected , right ? 2.) And which remote URL should we use ? 3.) And where to use this information collected ?

Thanks !

I think we should think about a default URL where it could submit - maybe to publiclab.org/post?title=_&body=__&tags=_ for starters? But think about it as a general purpose form.

Does that make sense?

Okay makes sense .

Can you help me break this issue into steps ?

[jywarren]

Yeah - perhaps the first thing would be to make a listener and a button, where the button can be pressed to run a given function where:

function onFormOpen(parameters) {

and then run a second on:

function onFormSubmit(parameters) {

so that you can access parameters.location.latitude, parameters.location.longitude, and parameters.location.layers, maybe?

So before all that, maybe some general purpose function to return the layers, although Leaflet may have a standard way to do this?

How's that for a start?

Hi @jywarren ...should we write this code in plots2 after we integrate leaflet-environmental-layers ? or inside <script> tag in index.html for now ?

[jywarren]

Let's start by writing it into leaflet-environmental-layers, because perhaps other people will want to integrate such a function into their own pages. We can provide template HTML to make this work, but make it flexible enough to adapt to other websites too. What do you think?
