create admin view to monitor flags
Techbot opened this issue · 3 comments
There are some example views with the module and a recipe book somewhere.
pair programming required.
There are basic Views visible on the /user/* pages. If the user has paragraphs and nodes flagged, these items will display, with their ID.
The 2 main things missing from the Views right now
- an indication of which node the flagged paragraphs are on
- the flag name (machine name)
Without these, a list of flagged paragraphs aren't that useful.
1 Isn't related to Flags, as such. I might have found some hints.

2 I can't find anything online about flag names and the language is confusion - on the Create flag form it is called "label". In the data base I think it's the flag_id (not to be confused with the entity id). When we were looking at how to access the flag machine name, @Techbot opted for an SQL query 5201df2
I think using the Flag Assign User https://www.drupal.org/project/flag_assign_user contrib module and printing the links in the template overrides resolves this issue as best we can right now.
The Flag Assign User provides a form where the admin can assign or unassign a flag for a specific user.
In the flag template override file, we print some handy links to the form and the flag ID and paired with the list of Missions on the /user/ID page, admins can manage the missions for users (and for testing)

This all gets quickly out of control if there are multiple missions flagged, or multiple users. There is no way to see the current status of a user's flagged item (whether it is flagged or not).
