working on this in https://github.com/Representable/representable/tree/email-verification

Currently, users have no way to edit their submission retroactively in my entries page.

Describe the bug
Email verification was in settings/base.py and so locally I wasn't able to sign in due to email verification issues.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Login locally or try to create an account
2. See error

Screenshots

Issue replicated locally for 08544 zipcode:

Adding this here so we can keep track of issues!

• w/ updated interfaces
• video version of User Flows

1. entire flow --> longer sequences as promo
2. specific feature flows for embedding in help pages, etc

We need a way for people to privately report potential vulnerabilities and track them. This could be in a form or similar.

The form validation system is janky. If the user makes a mistake with the form, there are some bits of inconsistent behavior:

• If they forgets to fill a field, that field will be validated by the browser and it will force to user to take a look (desirable).
• If the user makes a mistake with the map, a custom message will appear (desirable), but if they try to submit it, all sections collapse (undesirable).

Describe the solution you'd like
Form validation should be redone from the ground-up, according to the new form. This includes showing a list of errors at the beginning of the page (on page refresh), expanding sections with errors, describing errors, etc.

First, we should have some custom validation for these things on form submit. This is client-side validation, done through a JS listener. Additionally, we should also ensure that any validation that should happen in forms.py happens there. Currently, the only possible validation is for kinks in the polygon, which works great. Howver, we may want to add more descriptive messages for map errors, address fields, etc.

Describe the bug
Numerous errors appear on the front page because of missing CSS. Introduced by PR #108

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Go to the front page and check console.

Expected behavior
No errors should be triggered.

• Add another section on the front-page below state-selector for organizations.
  “Are you the leader of the organization?”

• Add different coloring/signaling to showcase that it’s different from the user flow so normal users don’t get confused.

• Clarify that you’re only doing this if your organization is not here.

• Clarify that this is only for organization leaders.

On entry page, "Toggle census blocks" could be changed to "show census blocks" for clarity.

• Show names + addresses + new reasons
• Closer zoom

Describe the bug
If you enter in an invalid phone number on the new entry page, there is no error message and it's unclear where the error occurs (goes back to search part of page)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Draw entry map
2. Include an invalid phone number (+61 on my australian number did it for me)
3. Press submit entry

Expected behavior
Highlight the phone number part of the form

Describe the bug
Refresh issues with the entry page, blurring, prefilling out text and map from before - need to look more into this.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
create a really big polygon
submit
the page will likely reload because the polygon is bigger than the limit in terms of storing the boundary in db?
the page reloads with everything blurred and the polygon already drawn on the map

Expected behavior
it shouldn't reload bc of memory issues - maybe need to increase db limit per entry
if reloading happens because of other errors, then the blurring needs to be removed

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

A few users mentioned that they want a tool like the one that can be used on Zillow. This would make it easier to draw borders around natural structures (e.g. lakes/parks/etc)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users are confused about filling the form and the form state. This is particularly important for adding new fields.

Describe the solution you'd like
The form should contain collapsible sections a la Typeform that guide the user. The form should still be easy to look at with all sections open.

Additional context
Discussions with partners. Mentioned in Roadmap for MI2.

Right now we can link to an individual submission (/submission?map_id=...)

An individual submitter should be able to download their entire submission (map area + survey responses) in a format that they can freely share, such as a PDF. The point is to allow people to download/export their human-readable responses.

This is not in reference to bulk access or app-to-app access, which is covered in #52

• Show new data in a clear way.
• Remove the deprecated search bar.
• Zoom closer to communities.

remote: ! The GDAL, GEOS and PROJ binaries and BUILD_WITH_GEO_LIBRARIES functonality are now deprecated.
remote: ! An alternative buildpack to enable GDAL, GEOS and PROJ use is available here - https://github.com/heroku/heroku-geo-buildpack (this buildpack is very large though - 2x size of previous)

User feedback: "What is the lighter blue area to the west of my polygon and how can I get rid of it?" Replicated issue below with screenshot.

Add analytics to track user flows.

Describe the bug
If the form submission fails for any reason, the map does not highlight the right census blocks.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Fill entry form.
2. Write text for phone number (example).
3. Submit.
4. Check map. Map will only show user poly, but not census blocks.

Expected behavior
Map should show both user poly and census blocks.

Screenshots

I found this in the bug tracker. Is this still valid? @lauren-johnston

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
The campaign select field is prefilled and hidden from users who are using a special campaign specific link to add entries

Feedback: "Contribute" sounds like we are asking them to donate. "Partner with us" unclear that it is for orgs. Potential response: make one "get started" button -> triage people from there to a new page. Main user flows: 1) draw community 2) create organization and maybe 3) create campaign to collect submissions. Need to discuss best way to triage people by state as well.

Need to add logic when users add submissions to check if they are part of the org they are submitting to (by comparing with the whitelist)

I edited the Site field (/admin/sites/site/) but that doesn't seem to have worked:

It's becoming increasingly clear that each state should have its own home page, e.g. representable.org/michigan. This will make it easier for us to capture partners and users who are interested in drawing communities.

Received feedback on 5/6/20 that exporting to shapefiles/geojson is crucial.

• video will be made after entry changes (touchbase w/ Preeti 4 content)

Describe the bug
On the map page, hovering over a community makes the community outline temporarily bolder and then removes the outline when the user stops hovering. (This is a very small bug but I just wanted to document it while I remembered!)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to public map page "/map"
2. however a community
3. see how outline disappeared

Expected behavior
Outline remains after hover. Seems like the review page works this way and the outline remains.

Screenshots

Received this feedback. Modifying the text will allow for additional flexibility on the part of the user as they enter their location.

When I took out Andrew's stuff in issue #69, I left the entry deletion form as it was. Unfortunately, it seems that the way the post request works is not well thought out and you need to press twice to make it work.

Adding this to document feedback from 5/6/20.

• We need to include a blurb at the end to encourage people to download/print their maps.
• Clarify that either them or the organizations need to submit the info to the commission.

Describe the bug
When searching for a starting location on the entry page, there isn't any signifier that the search went through without pressing next.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Search for community (press enter)
2. nothing happens lol

Expected behavior
automatically go to map page

Add call to action, map, and contribute/draw COI map button and preselect appropriate dropdown button --> Default campaign of the organization

support viewing the app in arabic

Because the requirements.txt contains Geo libraries that need to be installed separately via brew etc., testing fails when done via Github CI. I tried to create requirements_test.txt to get around this but ultimately this is only a temporary fix to get around the problem.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users need to be able to add more specific information about their community's interests.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think this request can be split into two parts:
A) they want some kind of community-identifying questions before asking for a map entry
B) they want their specific questions to be those community identifying questions
At minimum, I think they make a good point about part (A) — it might help people to think about their community first in order to think about the geography of that community. Part (B) might have some value too but I think we can figure that out later
-- @indraneel

Describe alternatives you've considered
Discussed using tags, other issue categories. Ultimately, it seems like free form text is the best way to gather COI submissions.

Additional context

Describe the bug
census blocks only load for michigan, pennsylvania, virginia, and new jersey on review page

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to representable.org/review
2. zoom out

Expected behavior
Census blocks + legislative lines off by default, toggle on shows for all states
(future: state by state map views? which would toggle census blocks based on the state)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There's currently no way to specify a data collection period for an organization.

Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to be able to set the scope of data collection and create a custom entry page link for it. Furthermore, we would like to simplify the campaign model to a very basic feature subset for now:

• id: uuid for campaigns
• name: name of the campaign
• state: the state of the campaign
• description: description of the campaign
• organization: organization hosting the campaign
• is_active: is the campaign active
  Additional context
  See campaign spec doc.

Describe the bug
Too big of an area for polygon for upper michigan parts - maybe make the area particular to a state?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
make a really big polygon
