View of all images for a given region in maps

Description

• [ ] UI Planning, where and how to display. (Can take help from the gallery template)
• [ ] Implementation

Maybe I can start with the implementation part first and UI can be discussed simultaneously.

Thanks!

Hey @jywarren, for this problem, we want to create a new page for showing all images or want to add a section on the existing page?

Also, if you could share a rough sketch, that would be great.

We would be utilizing map location for showing images, that cool right?

Hi! Which item was this from originally, can we link back? It may be the one where we wanted a layer to be made available that shows (in the new view only page) all other images regardless of map, with lower opacity, behind the current map. This may also be useful on the edit map page but either way it could be done as a read only map layer.

Would it make sense to do this within Leaflet Environmental Layers? cc @ananyaarun

Hmm, could it be something like images on map markers type of view?

[grvsachdeva]

Image a map with the markers. And, # of images written on the marker head. And, clicking on the marker will open the images page for that location?

In LEL at the moment we just display pop up markers for each layer selected. There are no specific images for particular regions. We could do this in LEL as well but I guess UI would be a question.

Actually ideally we'd like to show a true DistortableImage of each image, as the UI. And have a popup attached to each that leads back to the map where it's from (the popup is just like the current LEL popup, but we'd want a full DistortableImage instead of a marker). Does this make sense? Then you'd see the images distorted onto the base map, but just in a layer behind the active map.

The idea of lower opacity would be used to indicate to the user (via design) that those images cannot be edited, but are "in the background".
