Add "save a draft" pop-up to remind people to save their work?

[jywarren]

Folks sometimes draft a long post at https://publiclab.org/post, and while the rich editor auto-saves drafts (up to 20 of them) locally, that's not super apparent, and it's only in your local browser (you'll lose it if you clear your cache and session).

We could have a Bootstrap pop-up by the Publish button appear after you enter more than 100 characters, reminding you to Don't lose your work - save a draft, and also noting that drafts are stored only in your computer's browser under the ... symbol to the right (maybe in its own popup?)

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/javascript/#popovers

Something like this?

Then, once we have #3109, we could have it auto-save directly to revisions, so there's a server-side copy.

[jywarren]

Eventually, we could have the /post form automatically save as you begin to type... is that something we'd like to see, @publiclab/community-reps ?

Yes!

@publiclab/mentors @publiclab/reviewers may i know which code files need the changes.

[Dhiraj240]

@jywarren will you please tell me which file need changes?

[pdurbin]

@Dhiraj240 this is a bit of a guess but I would suggest looking at 177b72e where "save as draft" was recently modified.

[Dhiraj240]

@pdurbin Yeah, i compare it with inspect elements,thanks but may i know how you figured it out because right now i am using windows where i am getting to many errors to handle the installation and see it working on localhost. Planning to install fedora using vmware but that will need time which may stop me to fill the GCI mentor form.

[pdurbin]

My usual trick for finding the right code to hack on is to search GitHub for a phrase I see in the UI of the app, such as "save as draft" in this case. Here's a screenshot:

Okay, now i have changed the code but how can i see it working since i am facing ruby installing issues.

[jywarren]

Hi, what issues are you seeing? Could you show the errors? Thanks!

I a using windows and @gauravano this alternative didn't work. This was after running bundle install --without production mysql

[Dhiraj240]

@jywarren It would be nice if you help me or please provide some help in setting up this project on cloud9 as according to documentation it didn't work for me.

[jywarren]

Ah, what went wrong? Was there an error message?

[Dhiraj240]

Even after searching through stackoverflow the changes do not seem to work.There is some issue with a lib-v-8 version.

[jywarren]

Hmm, we've seen issues on Windows installations in #3665 -- can you share the cloud9 errors and perhaps we can help you with that? Sorry you're having trouble!

[Dhiraj240]

In that too nothing seems to process as when i edit installer.sh it keeps on processing with no end result.

[jywarren]

Would it be helpful if you could use Cloud9 instead and develop remotely on a linux machine? I'll send you an invite!

https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/home

[jywarren]

Oh darn, sorry -- read this too fast, you're already in there.

Can you paste the output into https://gist.github.com and paste the link here, so we can read your errors and help out?

[Ivilili]

Hi @jywarren can I work on this issue? I've seen that PR for this issue was abandoned

[grvsachdeva]

Hi @Ivilili go ahead!
