Admin Map Creation Improvement: Marker tooltip hover quick actions

Open DevinWalker opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

I like the idea of having a tooltip hover effect that would show quick edit options. Right now you have to click the marker, preview the infobox, then click the pencil icon to edit it. That's 3 clicks. The same goes for trashing and editing the marker icon itself. Quick hover edit icons would be:

  • Edit - pencil
  • Marker icon edit - marker icon
  • Trash - trashcan

Here's a quick concept:

@DevinWalker I like the idea of reducing clicks to get into the icon editor, but that is the only 3-click process. Editing text and deleting are 2 clicks (as of now, it might have been more before).

I suggest leaving the marker click interaction as is, but add an icon to jump straight into the icon editor, which would make all possible actions a 2-click process:

If you still wanted to do the hover tool tip, you could place the same three actions in the tool tip:
