A collection of ideas that haven't made it into an own ticket yet.

Frontend¶

Layout¶

• Generel upgrade using frameworks/libraries e.g. for making it responsive
• New project website when new layout is finished (openatlas.eu)
• New screenshot when new layout is finished (e.g. craws.net)

Maps¶

• Show new marker when entering coordinates
• Search function for existing entities on map
• Show type-tree instead only type name i.e. details on the map, maybe with a tooltip
• Click to set point for geonames result
• Map focus top to narrow when in entity view and multiple points are "selected"
• Click on intersecting polygones (look at medcem project)

Dates¶

• If the first year wasn't entered in a date form the rest is ignored (e.g.comment, second year, ...). Give a visual feedback for the user that this information isn't saved in that case.
• At actors forms viusally combine begin/end places with begin/end places
• If an entity is updated filled out dates are not visible at first because they are hidden. A better solution for that would be fine.

jsTree¶

• At type overview, custom tab: if only one or two hierarchies are displayed it looks confusing
• How to remove nodes from jstree (e.g. remove self from selection)

Forms¶

• Disable save if JavaScript is disabled
• Places, add if not existing in same form (residence, first/last). Implementation could be a simplified add_place ajax form to not leave the current form.

Backend¶

Upgrade to Python 3.6¶

• Ordered dict not needed anymore (built in)
• os.scandir with python3.6 change to: with os.scandir(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER_PATH']) as it
• https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3-raven (next Debian version)
• Refactor path constructions for other operating systems, see https://realpython.com/python-pathlib/

Unsorted ideas¶

• Check hardware acceleration
• HTML emails (use strip tags for templates w/o html)
• Show infos on first page of admin (settings, overview of users and logs, ...)
• Rename admin to settings
• List fields: make buttons instead of comma seperated string
• Types, make build_table_form before and use on submit
• Option to delete a type with all subtypes and links
• Refactor system_types and view_class
• Check at update if right class and system_type e.g. sources
• Asset and bungle js/css: http://exploreflask.com/en/latest/static.html#manage-static-assets-with-flask-assets
• Anonymous names
• Run tests from commandline and write to install
• DOI
• Installation script and/or Debian packages
• Multi instance capability #924
• Annotate text
• Analytic capabilities
• BibTeX, record meta information for literature, http://redmine.craws.net/projects/uni/wiki/Graphical_User_Interface#Sources
• Image gallery - restucture directory structure, thumbnails creation, options to adjust sizes (only width?)
• Second place for events (correspondence, journey)
• Show membership at appears first if available
