Feature Request/Idea: Allow alternative dataset metadatablock views and edit forms via plugable components

Open PaulBoon opened this issue 6 months ago • 5 comments

Although you can configure custom metdatablocks (via the TSV file load) there is not much control over the display or input elements for that block besides external CVOCS. The use-case that drives this request is the addition of a small geographical map near the coordinates display for our custom geo-location metadatablock. The visual feedback for the coordinates in the metadata will help in reducing erronous input. Even better would be to also have that map on the edit form, and thus possibly also allow the user to specify the coordinates directly on the map instead of typing numbers. For instance, by clicking on the map or positioning a marker.

Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?

@PaulBoon you don't happen to have a live example of this, do you? 😄

@pdurbin I have some screenshots from dev environments: The first one is showing different maps, one for points and one for areas (boundingboxes) on the metadata tab, custom block section that has these coordinates. Image

The other one shows all location coordinates (point+box) on a wide map at the top of the Dataset page.

@pdurbin The map features are now available on our Archaeology archive here: https://archaeology.datastations.nl/
