Can't add new items to my List

[ryanmerkley]

When I try to select new items to add to my list, they don't show up on my List. I tried logging out and back in, but it doesn't work. I can select the check boxes in the item selection, but when I return to the list, they aren't there.

@mattl I think this might be the same issue I had. Because I’d already “completed” photos for all those items, I couldn’t add them to my list.

We need a new view to show you completed items.

Already opened an issue for 4.0: #295

I think we should hold off until we have our design session, because I’m not sure how this fits into the current user flow. Users can already see “completed” items by looking at the gallery. So how do we make sure this new view doesn’t overlap/is a valuable addition?

I think for now we should resolve #198 and #239

Which will make sure you don’t add something you’ve already completed, and make sure you don’t run of new items that can be suggested (at least for a while)

It seems #198 and #239 have been resolved. Does this work now @mattl?

@perpetuatingcuriosity can this be closed?

@mattl: I just tried adding some items and this seems to still be happening.

If I upload a photo to an item, this item can still be suggested to me (i.e. “Creative Commons needs a picture of a car”). If I try to add “car” to “My List” a second time, it doesn’t show up.

Not sure if this was resolved, but in a previous issue (was this #239?) we thought it was because “car” is already associated with the user in the db, only it has flag marked completed. So that “completed” item, is never returned when the user’s list is requested, and to the user it looks like adding items isn’t working.

I think there are a few issues to think about:

1. Do we want to suggest items to a user more than once if they’ve already responded to that item?
2. Do we want a user to be able to upload more than one photo to the same item?

I’m thinking the answer to 1) is: probably not. We can provide multiple alternatives for the user to find an old item again. Eventually users will be able to search to find items, and we can provide a list of items the user has already uploaded to. They also have the potential to run into these items again in the Photo Feed.

Ultimately if a user is specifically looking for item suggestions, they probably don’t want to see the same thing twice if they’ve already responded to that item.

2. I think users will want the opportunity to upload multiple photos to the same item. Maybe this is a feature for further down the line, but it’s probably important to think about it now?

Meanwhile I think we need to be able a list item to a user more than once, i.e.: I can have 1 “car” item flagged as completed, and 1 “car” item flagged as incomplete in my list simultaneously.

What do you think @mattl? Does that sound accurate or is there something else going on?
