Add links to resources in the Help window

[Aurelie-Jallut]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When you first discover uMap, you don't necessarily know that there's a great newsletter, a magic forum, etc. adding links to these resources would help users.

Describe the solution you'd like Add for example :

Where can I find help?

• uMap documentation (videos, articles, tutorials, faq)
• The uMap OSM Forum (tips, resources, requests for help from the user community)
• Newsletters (news, tutorials, tips and tricks)
• the Tchap channel for discussions with the team and the uMap public sector community
• CNFPT e-communities

Describe alternatives you've considered we have to define what we want to have by default / by instance

Additional context At the top of this window, we can keep links to simple actions related to a first discovery of uMap : Welcome to uMap, what do you want to do?

• Name the map
• Save the position
• Add a marker
• ...

@davidbgk @yohanboniface what do you think ? :)

[davidbgk]

We were talking about that yesterday! Especially to avoid getting flooded on the contact email, probably with an additional footer link to the OSM forum for general questions?

[Aurelie-Jallut]

The help button seems very appropriate no ?

[Aurelie-Jallut]

something like this for the osm instance 1- long version

2- short version

[Aurelie-Jallut]

and for service public :

1- long version

2- short version

[Aurelie-Jallut]

We could :

• add a button use un template

another ideaq :

• A feature to show/hide all tool labels
• When arriving at a map with no data, display the default help window

[yohanboniface]

A feature to show/hide all tool labels

I even remember a discussion where we considered a scenario where clicking on the "Help" button would reveal all the tool labels (instead of opening a dialog where we repeat the button but with the labels)

[yohanboniface]

BTW, I'm curious about what do you think users really need when starting a new map ?

[yohanboniface]

Very simple first version:

For now:

• only one list so to keep the configuration simple
• we did not but the lines so to make consume less vertical space (mobile…)

What do you think ? :)

[Aurelie-Jallut]

@yohanboniface I missed this notification ;( thks for this :)

I'll see if I can make suggestions directly in the CSS.

For the content, maybe we could remove ‘Card properties’ (to make it lighter)?

(The text I suggested was to link the titles and button labels.)
