add heritage tree nomination form/link

Open emillipede opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

AS A/AN: user

WHEN I: see an amazing tree

I WANT TO: have the option to nominate the tree as a heritage tree (maybe through a button in the sidebar)

AS A/AN: SM public landscape

I WANT TO: encourage community members' participation in and awareness of the heritage tree program

right now, the city's nomination process isn't well known and less than user-friendly. it requires modifying a PDF or sending a letter. an easier nominations process might encourage more participation in the program (https://www.smgov.net/Portals/UrbanForest/content.aspx?id=53687092939)

until we have a webform, we could just link to the city's heritage tree program website

I can make a web form for this. These are my ideas for how it could look based on the pdf form:

  • There can be a link on the bottom of the sidebar
  • The link causes the form to open within the sidebar. - fields for tree species, location, and measurements can be implicitly filled in based on whatever tree was selected, and won't be on the form - is there anything in the tree data that describes the tree's 'condition'? (see the pdf form) - the only fields on the form are heritage tree criteria, explanation (which will be a rich text field), and applicant information
  • when the user submits the form we can either send a formatted email or a modified version of the pdf form (harder) to [email protected]. it looks like they only accept the pdf forms?

hey @isabelle-wagenvoord Last night, I realized we can use a google form, which automatically generates an email and requires next to no code to add to the site. I just put one together https://forms.gle/kgUiNhhHwmPxHYew9

I'm so sorry I didn't sooner think of this option.

I'm sorry I didn't think of it either! 😅 I was worried because the code for the form and generating the email was going to end up being convoluted. Anway, I'm sorry this was taking so long for me to work on-- I didn't realize how overwhelmed I was going to be. I'll open a PR to add the link.

so that the heritage tree nomination section's hidden for existing heritage trees, please update the index.html

thank you @isabelle-wagenvoord !
