adopt-a-drain's Issues

Submit email subscription request to govapi servers when drain adopted

The City of Oakland uses GovDelivery to manage email lists. After a user adopts a drain, we need to make an HTTP request to the GovDelivery govapi production servers to subscribe that user to a mailing list that will be used to send reminders about cleaning drains.

The easiest solution would be to automatically subscribe the user. However, it would probably be better to give them the opportunity to opt out of the email list.

Currently, when you click on a drain icon, a dialog appears that allows you to name the drain and optionally adopt it. Perhaps a checkbox that defaults to checked could be added that indicates you are willing to be signed up to a mailing list.

Contact me for more details on the private API endpoint and URL parameters.

FYI, if you submit an invalid topic ID, the response will be

({"message":"Topic not found."})

Analytics

Is our google analytics code loaded yet?

Support Google Maps satellite view

Request from City:

Is it possible to give the user a choice between viewing the map in “map” (what it’s currently showing) and satellite view?

Terms of Service are still the ones for Honolulu

The TOS in app/views/sidebar/_tos.html.haml are still the ones for Adopt-a-Siren. They should be replaced with a City of Oakland TOS from Nicole.

"Unauthenticated" page refers to Honolulu

app/views/main/unauthenticated.html.haml refers to Honolulu. Is this page actually used in the app? I've never seen it rendered.

Google Analytics and Kiss Metrics references need updates

The code references a Google Analytics account for Honolulu. In application.html.haml:

_gaq=_gaq||[];_gaq.push(["_setAccount","UA-32915849-3"]),_gaq.push(["_setDomainName","sirens.honolulu.gov"]),_gaq.push(["_trackPageview"]

and also

  var _kmk = _kmk || '5777639af0958fe4f5ee441531f98fe4823dce2c';
  function _kms(u){
  setTimeout(function(){
  var d = document, f = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],
  s = d.createElement('script');
  s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = u;
  f.parentNode.insertBefore(s, f);
  }, 1);
  }
  _kms('//i.kissmetrics.com/i.js');
  _kms('//doug1izaerwt3.cloudfront.net/' + _kmk + '.1.js');

Reset password notice

Needs to include site name or url in the notice- it doesn't indicate who it's from when you ask to reset password.

Not able to get to login form

Previously, when you chose the "I've already signed up" radio button in the sidebar, the sidebar would change from a signup form to a login form. This no longer seems to work.

Oddly enough, I'm seeing the same incorrect behavior at http://adoptahydrant.org/.

Train city staff

This seemed as good a place as any to track this.

Nicole asked that she and the Environmental Services Staff be given training on the system and access to the backend. She also asked to be trained on how the backed notification system works.

Using https prevents jQuery from loading

If you access the site using https, Chrome will silently refuse to load assets such as jQuery that are hard-coded to be loaded from another domain using http. This is to avoid loading mixed secure and insecure content. The result is the the sidebar is unstyled and the Google map does not appear.

I use the HTTPS Everywhere plugin on Chrome. Since it detects that Heroku supports https, it makes Chrome automatically switch to https.

The easiest fix is to load the assets using https. This will be a bit slower, but Chrome won't complain about mixed content if the page is accessed using http, since that is an upgrade.

The best fix would be to load assets using the same scheme as was used to access the page.

Email template refers to Honolulu

app/views/thing_mailer/send_personalized.html.erb has lots of references to Honolulu. Would we even use this feature to send emails, or will the City of Oakland send all the emails?

Not sure why the replacement markers aren't showing up.

Per the commit pasted below. Are the assets being referenced from a different location?

Multiple adopters needs to be removed

City staff are adamant that no drain can be adopted by more than one person - we need to roll back this feature - here's the commit where Mick changed this in our code base when porting from the boston version which is limited to one user per feature.

Terms of Service refer to Massachusetts

Maybe this is something that got missed in the customization of our fork and the Honolulu siren fork. I'd be surprised if either of us were using the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the agreement with adopters.

"Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to any conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute with the City relating in any way to your use of AAS shall be brought exclusively before a state or federal court sitting in Oakland, CA, and you irrevocably waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts."

Signup Issues

Couldn't create a new account. It freezes on the homepage after clicking "sign up"

Add PWA contact info at bottom left of page

Request from the City:

At the bottom of the page below the openoakland and City of Oakland logos and above “Send feedback,” add a sentence that says: “To report a problem to the City of Oakland Public Works Agency, call 510-615-5566, email [email protected], or visit www.seeclickfix.com/oakland.

Terms of Service popup not working at adoptadrainoakland.com

Although it works when I run the app locally, the TOS popup doesn't appear when clicking on the link at http://adoptadrainoakland.com.

Data on existing adopters

Nicole has data on the roughly 60 people who have adopted a drain pre Adopta. We should make a decision on whether we ask them to sign up after the app goes live or if we just add them to the users table.

I wasn't clear if the city had collected an email address from the adopters. By signing up, we would then have an email address for them. The constraints on the users table may prevent us from auto signing them up just based on the data that was collected previously.

Remove home phone from sign up page

Nicole asked that we remove one of the phone number fields to make it quicker for people to sign up. Unless we really need a mobile phone number because we think we might want to send people text messages (we would need to get them to agree to this, since some people have to pay to receive text messages), maybe we could replace the home phone number and mobile phone number fields with just a phone number field.

send_personalized.html.erb still refers to sirens

send_personalized.html.erb has an amusing mix of siren and drain information. For example, "At 11:45am this morning the Drains will be tested. The test involves a 45-second steady tone on all the Drains." I'm not sure I want to be around when the drains are being tested with tones.

I had originally added this to issue #21, but am pulling it out separately.

Change main title and remove logo

Requests from the City:

1. At the top of the webpage, change the title from:

Oakland Adopt a Spot
[Maintain a Drain]

to:
Adopt a Drain
Part of the Oakland Adopt a Spot Program (with a link to www.oaklandadoptaspot.org)

2. Remove the “Adopt a Storm Drain” logo (again, just to stick with consistency)

Change feedback email address from Nicole to someone else

Now that Nicole is no longer working for the City, feedback emails should probably be directed to a different email address.

app/main/index.html.haml

Needs a better follow-up experience

After you adopt a drain it would be really helpful if there was some follow-up screen that tells you what's going to happen next. As it is it's not clear at all what the adopter is responsible for and what action they should be taking next.
