Custom Editor Options

[zlavergne]

I'd like to discuss a new feature that will allow Project Managers to add a custom editor endpoint to a project that will be added as an additional option in the dropdown list:

The plan is to add it as a "Custom" option to the editor options in the "Settings" section of the edit-project page.

Yes, I think that makes the TM much more flexible. Maybe we just want to show the possibility to add those custom endpoints only for project managers, that have the "Expert mode" switched on.

Probably we'd need three fields for it.

• Name
• URL
• Notes

While the notes should be displayed, when users select this editor before hitting "start".

I think this is good as long as it still allows the PM the ability to only allow specific editors. In project creation there is already the check-boxes to display/not-display editors in the drop-down. So this custom would also need populated there.

@xamanu Sounds like I'm heading in the right direction. I've got the backend set up and just to clarify - right now, I'm doing one "Custom Editor" per project that a PM will then be able to toggle between mapping and validation.

@russdeffner are you saying that we should do sanity checks to make sure the URL they're adding isn't already an option as one of the baked in editors?

@zlavergne - that, but more along the lines of... if I only want mappers using the custom editor or JOSM, that I can still do that in Settings.

@russdeffner I'll try to have a screen capture of how this will look in a few hours but that's the plan 😄

This is in by now. Many thanks!
