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

Frontend¶

Layout¶

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

Menu¶

• Rename admin to settings?

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 tool tip
• Click to set point for GeoNames result
• Map focus top to narrow when in entity view and multiple points are "selected"
• Click on intersecting polygons (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 visually 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. We need a better solution.

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¶

Network¶

• Show places instead locations
• Check missing links e.g. source

Performance¶

• Refactor types (update at entities)
• Entity Mapper: refactor sub selects, get_by_class
• Remove update from insert in save functions
• Delete multiple
• Better debug info (don't reset infos after redirect)

• Place links e.g. https://dppopenatlas.oeaw.ac.at/actor/view/44788
• http://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/

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
• 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, ...)
• List fields: make buttons instead of comma separated 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 JavaScript/CSS: http://exploreflask.com/en/latest/static.html#manage-static-assets-with-flask-assets
• Anonymous names
• Run tests from command line and write to install
• Installation script and/or Debian packages
• Multi instance capability #924
• Annotate text
• Analytic capabilities
• Image gallery - restructure directory structure, thumbnails creation, options to adjust sizes (only width?)
• Second place for events (correspondence, journey)
• Show membership at appears first if available
