SERAC: filter by contributor

[AntoineMarnat]

We got a request per email: a Mountaineering club wanted to use SERAC for their RETEX. For their own purpose, they want to be able to extract the reports that are related to their club only.

Request: filter Xreport by user.

Implementation: few possibilities (they can be combined)

• add a filter by user on the Xreport page, like the multicriteria filter for the outings.
• add a link on the user profil page, between "outings" and "contributions" on the left. Possibility to show it only for profils of the type club/association.
• add a private link "my Xreports" in the upper right menu, between "my contributions" and "my friends".

The choice should take care of privacy of users.

I would go for the third solution : a private link ( and even maybe a check between the logged user and the requested user over the API ).
What do you think ?

On API side :

• URL must stick to the outing model : /xreports?u=123456
• For a start, we can be cautious, and allow this url only for the logged user, and moderator

On UI side :

• Until the access is restricted to user own's xreport, just add a link for logged users on https://www.camptocamp.org/xreports : see my xreports. You have quite the same link on /outings "See my outings".

@cbeauchesne : I do not see a "See my outings" button for logged users on /outings. I only see a link to /outings?u=123456 on the profil page /profiles/123456. It corresponds to solution 2, it may be visible only if you are on your own profil page.

I just had a look, xreports may only be linked to the author - if he does not wish to remain anonymous. Not to a generic user, like outings. For the request we are dealing with, of a Mountaineering club, this is a problem: member of the club should be able to associate their xreport to the profil of the club via their own account.

if he does not wish to remain anonymous.

For the anonymous reports, there is nothing we can do: we do not save original author.

I understand a little more the request. They want to be able to add more than one users to an xreport. In their use case, it will be the reporter, and the club's camptocamp account. Right ?
