Bugs

Go and hunt 'em! And list them to here if you find any.

• Translations don't work in Hitchwiki server

• JS doesn't find where orange cursor is on 2nd attempt when adding new place
  • 1) Click add place
  • 2) JS finds coordinates and gives you an address for the place where cursor is
  • 3) Close adding place
  • 4) Click again add place
  • 5) Now it doesn't find

• "Hitchability: Unknown • (1 vote)" - and what is this one vote in here then?

• Dragging'n'dropping orange "add place" -cursor gets disabled randomly(?)

• When adding place as an event, popup calendar of date-inputs can go too much to the right and cut out from the screen

• Country names in some languages needs some fixing

• Text area width can cut out with some browsers (Linking -popup)

• Country mouse hover popups look funny (update local graphics for openlayers?)

• You can open same card multiple times

• Cards don't close when opening new page

• When opening a place with lots of comments (eg. http://yoshi.mega2000.de/~simison/maps.hitchwiki.org/?place=3266 ), the page might be too high and scrolls down a bit. At least with opera mac.

• Not neccessarily a bug, but setting Show markers after zoom level to 1 - Contintent level is not really helpfull except if you try to crash it

TODO

• Connect userlogin to the mediawiki login
  • http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login
  • See lib/mediawiki_login.php - started something, but not connected to any functionality
  • Combine with lib/login.php and /logout/ ?

• Move ajax-called .php's to their own directory from /lib/ - it's a bit messy. Maybe /lib/ajax/

• Widget
  • /widget.php -> /widget/ - just nicer
  • Show area by country
  • Show link to the big map (permalink)

• Download
  • Downloading KML-format files from Download
  • Zipped downloads (gzm)
  • Count of markers in the world
  • Count of markers in the visible map area

• FB-connect
  • Usually makes a big difference on login amounts

• Spam protection
  • We're already saving IP's and timestamps

• Allowing users to write translated descriptions HTML/JS mostly done, just API backend TODO.

• Allow users to edit descriptions

• Allow deleting your own waitingtimes

• Clickable usernames around the site

• Loading animation when changing public transport catalog -country?

• Pagination for comments, users etc.

Ideas

• Using a Google Street view API (check license)

• Showing Panoramio images

• Showing photos added to Hitchwiki

• Adding photos to a place?

• Show links to infopages about public transportation in city

• If using FB-Connect, why not OpenID like on hitchwiki? :)
  • I know only how to implement FB-connect. But sure OpenID also. ;-) Anyway we need to look how we'll do this, maybe allowing registerations trough MediaWiki would be the best solution and then just using user-db for extra settings in Maps. -Mikael
    • Yeah, I think it's easier to stick to one user db. guaka 19:37, 13 October 2010 (CEST)
      • Got any spare time to look into a MediaWiki login api? ;-) Should be easy to integrate. -Mikael 20:29, 13 October 2010 (CEST)

• Pull data from Maps to the Wiki: public transportation, images, statistics...
