Let User Edit Location Marker Info

Hi @ianstrack,

Yes, that is possible. As I linked in the other article (here is the link again) you need to ensure your registered users have special capabilities. This can be done with a user role management plugin.

In any case the user needs to be registered. And the editing happens within the WordPress admin interface. In a future version of OUM I’m planning to provide a way to edit locations directly from within the map.

Best regards,
Daniel

This feature is kind of a big deal to have if this is being used as a crowd-source mapping utility. Let users edit/update locations and/or let other users flag outdated/wrong/bad locations with notes that get sent to admin/editor when flags are submitted. Other plugins may have a flag feature (craigslist type) where admin can set X# of user flags on a location before the status is changed back to unpublished. So this type of thing is a very basic feature required to maintain quality control of data accuracy up to date info.

The edit/flag location ability is what would set this plugin APART (big selling point) from the 100 other map plugins where people can submit locations.

One option is to allow original user to update original location they submitted is to send a token expiring link to the email address they specified when they submitted location. So this way they don’t need to login to the site… they can choose when submitting location if they want to be notified of updates to the location via email, receive invites to update the location from admin, etc…

The flag location option would be useful for locations where people who originally submitted them have not much interest in maintaining location updates… so this way other users of the map can simply flag them to let admin know of needed updates or if listing is bad/wrong.

Yes, please do not mark this as resolved the solution has not been made yet. I can hire some guys off Fiverr or we can work together to make this happen. Just let me know what I can do to help. My website is houstonoutagemap.com Thanks!

Hi @wordmax and @ianstrack,

I agree that this feature is a great idea and users will benefit from it. That is why it already has a high priority in my requests backlog. So this will be one of the very next features available.

@ianstrack I’ve resolved the support request because I provided an answer to your question. This is the way the support forum is supposed to be used. I will keep you and @wordmax updated on the progress of the feature.

Best regards,
Daniel

With regards to the request for “Flag/Report a location” there is a quick solution on how to do this.

That looks promising. Will try it out. What is the purpose of the remove existing content from bubble?

“Hint: To remove the existing content from the bubble add this line at first:”

2 cents… on the open user map site decrease the frequency of those pop-ups “so and so just bought” it’s really distracting… and after about 20 seconds, really annoying. I guess that’s a Freemium thing…
