Looks like the launch of this new feature is imminent.

comment:2 by Don-vip, 12 years ago

It's live :)

comment:3 by stoecker, 12 years ago

If this is now official I think integrating OpenStreetBugs plugin and this system into core JOSM is a good idea.

comment:4 by Don-vip, 12 years ago

I agree but we need to be careful, because notes is not exactly the same as OpenStreetBugs, and OpenStreetBugs instance is still active AFAIK.

We should only integrate the parts of OpenStreetBugs plugin that are relevant to Notes, and add support for its new features (e-mail contact).

EDIT: There is not yet a complete documentation but I have asked for details here.

EDIT2: The API is described here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Map_Notes_API

Ticket #8675 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.

comment:6 by Manu1400, 11 years ago

I suggest to create a new JOSM plugin for support for OSM "notes".

comment:7 by Don-vip, 11 years ago

It is planned to do it directly into core, but this requires some work.

comment:8 by anonymous, 11 years ago

it would be sufficient to have a layer for notes in JOSM - most of the time the work can be done without it, but when the comment gives exact position, it is cumbersome to add the node at the right palce.

It's 3 months already.

How long can this possibly take?
Just take OpenStreetBugs plugin and replace the URLs and have a working variant we can use.

The fact that it "is planned directly in core" discourages making a plugin and makes everybody just sit and wait.

If it is so easy, then provide a patch. A simple Google search with "openstreetbugs api" and "Osm notes API" would show you, that these are two different things.

Whether it is a plugin or in core, the work is the same. Someone needs to write the interface. Currently nobody does this, so no progress.

If you need that feature, find someone who implements it or spend money to pay for implementation. But don't wonder when you find that such a task is worth more than a number with four digits.

It really should be that easy.

A simple Google search with "openstreetbugs api" and "Osm notes API" would show you, that these are two different things.

They are mostly very similar. Yes, they are no longer identical as they were originally planned, but predominantly they are changes in the parameter naming in the URL. The concept stayed pretty much the same.

Can you say what needs changing in the code other than going through all of the places where the URLs to talk to OSB are constructed and update them to the new schema?

Compared to all of the other things going on in josm, this is a pretty minor task. So hopefully someone is willing to fix this pretty important and useful feature...

Ian Dees and me worked on this today. We copied the OSB plugin code and went from there. Ian did some refactoring to take out the hackish practice of using the Node class to display notes on the map. As of now, note display works and adding comments as anonymous works.

The biggest issue is authentication. JOSM doesn't seem to have an easily accessible way of sending an authenticated HTTP request from outside of core. I came up with a hack of subclassing OsmConnection in order to give myself a proxy to call the protected addAuth method. This is working for basic auth but not for oauth and I'm not sure why. The oauth header is being added but the server is not recognizing it for some reason.

Our code is on GitHub. My initial attempt at doing auth is on a branch that may or may not survive:

comment:15 by bastiK, 11 years ago

Great! Glad to hear you got rid of the Node class hack. :)

As JOSM is probably the first external user of the Notes API (?) the problem with OAuth could in principle also be on the server side.

edit:
Should have read the wiki first: OAuth seems to work with this site: http://osmlab.github.io/osm-note/

The http header reads:

For those of you watching this ticket, I did just put an initial version of the notes plugin out there. It has basic functionality but still needs work. Because of #8875, it needs josm-latest plus some manual tweaking to use OAuth. Please see the wiki page for more information: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Notes

comment:17 by extropy, 11 years ago

Awesome. Works like a charm. Not using OAuth.

Thank you so much.

comment:18 by extropy, 11 years ago

Non ASCII chars are not rendered correctly.
See http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=56.965657&lon=24.16492&zoom=18&layers=MN

Looks like new String(bytes, "UTF-8") is missing somewhere.

Hmm that's odd. I actually tested it with some chinese text before I published the jar and thought everything was working. The note you linked to displays fine for me too. As far as I can tell, I should be getting an appropriately encoded string back from JOSM in the first place. Can anyone else confirm this?

Yes, it's garbled for me, too, when checking Hungarian entries.

Status: newassigned

For some reason everything worked when my locale was set to en_US.UTF8 but when I manually changed it to hu_HU.UTF8, things did indeed break. The fix was changing some code I copied straight out of the OsmApi class in core. I'm not sure why it broke since I'm pretty sure core doesn't have this problem... But regardless, please give it a try and make sure it is working. If so I guess I will close this ticket since the powers that be created a new Notes plugin component for trac so future problems can be filed as new tickets.
