Provide Popups for pins on map #20

Open Groschenroman opened 5 years ago

Groschenroman commented 5 years ago

When clicking on a pin on the map it should show a Popup bubble with the following information:

  1. Name of the site (should this link to the website?)
  2. Address of the site / location of the site owner
  3. Link to the sites result page (showing the list of infiltrating Google tools)

  1. Name of the site (should this link to the website?)

my suggestion is: only onmouseover, or in the map would be too packed

  1. Address of the site / location of the site owner

when clicking on the website, this should trigger the same effect on searching the same name on the search bar

  1. Link to the sites result page (showing the list of infiltrating Google tools)

I feel the interaction on the map page should all trigger the same visualization (the simplest is playing with the column on the right), for example:

clicking on an icon would have the same effect of writing the name on the search box. is this a good idea?

In my opinion, filtering and selecting are to separate actions with different aims.

If users click on a marker on the map, they probably want to have more information about this location – and it is very likely that they're just poking around on the map. So there is no need to reduce the list in the sidebar to display only a single item because it removes the "browsing" effect in this case. What I did now is to highlight the item in the list and scroll it into view focus but keep everything available to look around.

If on the other hand a user is searching for something very specific and starts typing in the input field there is no arbitrary browsing whatsoever. So it's good to reduce the list to search results.

Additionally I added map icons to the items in the sidebar list that highlight the corresponding marker on the map and center the map at the selected location.
