usrse / usrse-map Goto Github PK

We'll be piloting a organizational membership over the next year+. One perk will be to add a pin to the map to mention them, similar to the regional groups layer. The PR that handled this can be found at #102.

Need to figure out a new way for the map to get the input data from the membership information

From PR #102
In presentations I often show the membership map to visually show "where our members are located" and the change over time. It would be great to have the ability to toggle the regional groups on and off to be consistent. Outside of that (which seems like a lot of work), should we just have a separate page that only insiders know where it is?
Any other ideas?

The current strategy uses sized circles (markers) to indicate RSEs at a location. When the numbers are too large for this, we can use more of a heatmap. See here for an example.

The sheet that we export from is "Locations export for website" but often it doesn't automatically populate from the first, despite the formula being there. In practice this means:

• the PR here is empty, we close and delete the branch
• we open the sheet, and pull and drag down the last cell to populate a new chunk of rows
• we go back to the first sheet to fix names, e.g., CA needs to be California, and otherwise we need ,
• we then click the Actions tab here to re-run the job

The PR should open again, with changes that time, and then you can approve or close and delete and branch and continue tweaking the sheet and running the action until it looks good.

• try using mapbox
• should be updated with an automated task (run once a week?)
• locations should be derived from institution using lookup
• automated task should alert user to locations not found
• style should share usrse header, and simply link back to site
