Below is a post I made in the WME Beta forum and I think it is more appropriate to discuss it here. Please take a look and provide your feedback.


SUGGESTION: I just noticed something that is fundamentally missing from the new UR Comment Tool.
Once a UR is marked by an editor as "Solved" or "Not identified" it shows the comment tool with the following information:

Closed on: [MONTH] [DAY], [YEAR]
by [USERNAME]([USER_LEVEL])

It doesn't provide the information if the UR was marked as "Solved" or "Not identified".

I think it should provide that information possibly in the following format:

Marked as [Solved/Not identified] on: [MONTH] [DAY], [YEAR]
by [USERNAME]([USER_LEVEL]).

I hope this make sense to others too.

Cheers,
HM.
UrComments is a script i wrote to help reply to UR trough the entire UR process and not the new UR window. I do some adjusting to the new UR window so it fits the screen but i have not added or removed information to / from this window. I am in hope that Waze changes this window on their own and i can remove the part of the script that redraws the UR window.

you might want to direct your suggestion waze.

feel free to try this script, all of the information is in the first post.

I will give it a spin.

Cheers,

Thinking about this more, since the UR window is the same on the production editor as the beta i don't know if the beta forum is the right place either.

The information you are looking for is still being saved. i noticed that i can use URO+ to hide URs that are either solved or not identified.

What should I do with this?

HuckD
update to the the latest version and this should not happen on startup. you were only getting that message when UrComments beat URO loading.

I know something like this has to be going on because I see some of the same URs pop up over and over, they're trying to reach out for a solution, but just can't figure out how to get back to us.
we tried that with the 4 day reminder instructions, we immediately started getting complaints from drivers that they do not get the messages on their app. We also tried instructing them to click the link waze gives them in the email, last time i checked that link went to the map with the UR layer turned off and did not open the ur directly. refer to this for an example https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/User:Rickzab ... structions

last night i came up with a way to generate URLs that go directly to the UR with the window open. but have not had a chance to discuss with the team the idea of sending our own links with the initial comment much in the same way the 4 day reminder works. i also want to update the link i use for the reminder to open the UR and the text that goes along with it.

it could be, but we have a google hang out we have been using to discuss the script...

we have 2 files going in google docs,

one is a master list of comments where we have been adding and removing comments along with editing and voting on the wording.

the other is a file full of grammatical changes. "Volunteer responding, text" is probably going to become "Volunteer responding - text". other comments that are run on sentences are going to be fixed. some wording that is not 100% will be kept in favor of having shorter comments.

i have yet to have time to go over the grammar changes and copy them back into the master list and then onto the script.

that is a possibility; but during the LA raid i got reports one after another about people thinking they were sending 200+ messages but were instead clicking done. the script made it was to easy to mess up one after another and i had to make a snap decision. i figured doing it this was would get people used to the new procedure. i will add making it an option to the request list.

i also agree and making this an option is on the to do list.

the function of the "done" button is the same as clicking the x at the top of the ur, which was the same workflow before the new Ur window. so i didn't think i was restricting the use of the editor.

if you are so inclined you can delete or comment out lines 1209 trough 1213. if you do please make sure you once and a while check that you are on the current version as changing the script sometimes stops auto updates.

Thanks PesachZ exactly what i was going to recommend!

AlanOfTheBerg i had to make some changes to the custom file in order to support multi languages, at that time i moved some config into the comments files. if you are still having issues let me know what the error message says, as it should say what is missing. if the message doesn't say what is wrong and that it is missing altogether you most likely have a syntax error; missing or extra " or , is usually the cause.

Going into settings, only first 3 boxes are checked. Clicking (4 day Follow Up) does not include the URL. After setting the first 4 boxes to checked, clicking 4DFU now includes the URL.

I asked Jesse to see if he saw the same behavior on his computer, and 4DFU continued to include the URL with the first 3 boxes checked. It wasn't until he removed the 3rd button that it stopped including it.
i can not recreate this, i tried in firefox and chrome. is anyone else having this issue?

Please do not edit the main script, install the custom comments script then edit the comments there. the comments with numbers after them are the ones used for auto insert, such as
"Incorrect turn", //6
