More user links

[pgiraud]

The user names may appear at different locations in the UI. Let's add "to profile" links there.

For some things it is nice to see the task manager profile of the person, for others it is nice to go direct to their OSM page, so it might be nice to have a 2 part link with one part of the link going to each page. The alternative to this is to somehoe have the task manager profile page display the relevant information from their actual OSM profile so the information can still be gotten in a single link click.

The relevant information would be, when they registered their account, and also how many edits they have, and finally a link to their edit history. 9 times out of 10, when I look at someones profile from the task manager, this is the information I am looking for to see what kind of a mapper they are. With the current system of links you have to click once to get to their profile page, and then a second link to get to their osm page for the information outlined above.

One simple way to do this would be to have something like an ifram on their task manager page that loads their osm profile page right there.

This is closely related to pierzen's #326 to see how long a user has been contributing to OSM.

My desired format:

• user name displayed as @username for easy copy/paste and @-mentions in comments
• embedded link to TM2 profile http://tasks.hotosm.org/user/username
• [?] link to OSM profile http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/username
• [?] link to OSM messaging http://www.openstreetmap.org/message/new/username
• [?] link to TM2 direct messaging [not feasible? discussed in Direct TM2 message #466]

I am using username but maybe uid is preferable as in #325.

Examples:

• Comment left by @username
• Marked as done by @username (OSM profile | private message)

[pierzen]

both uid and usernames should be showed. I receive TM messages where I am mentionned.

Whe I receive a message like the one below, there is probably one of these uid that corresponds to @pierzen. But not intuitive enough.
Hi @2286814 Current instructions for this project by @226516 read:

We show uid for referrential integrity (username may vary). But to help the reader identify rapidly the contributor, we should show both uid and username.

[althio]

Hi @pierzen, aka dear Mr user @226516

I meant:

• show only username as in @username
• use uid in links but do not show @uid

I don't think displaying @uid is useful as long as the permanent link using uid is provided.

Parts of our discussion are linked with #377.

[pierzen]

Right, if the uid is used in the link and the username is showed we take care of both aspects.

Regarding the original statement of user name being clickable in more places, I am almost finished with a branch that adds clickable names on the project activity and task activity lists.

Username should be clickable also in the projects list 😉

@pyrog i am out of town for a conference this week, so having to do edit in browser. Are you able to test a quick fix for this? ethan-nelson@12bda15
