Description of need:
After a year of using iNaturalist more and more intensively, I realise that there is a missing feature in the navigation.
In my opinion, from any observation, it would be very useful to have a link to “my observations of this species (taxa)” (as is already possible from Taxa URL, although I confess I only saw it after I started writing this suggestion).
It seems very simple from an IT point of view. We just need to think about how to integrate this in a sober, aesthetic and discreet way.
Feature request details:
Here is the button available from taxa URL (in french) :
(I just saw it as I was writing this message)
With a link like this :
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=any&taxon_id=*{taxa_id}*&locale=fr&user_id=*{user_id}*
From my point of view, this button could be added from any observation.
Here is a suggestion :
(I’ve mixed up English and French on this screenshot, but it’s so you can see better)
PS. : I hope this suggestion has not already been made : my level of English restricts the exhaustiveness of my research
Thanks @thomaseverest for the link to this extension , which I didn’t know about and which I’m going to try out.
However, my browser is Firefox, and I have to admit that I’m pretty loyal to it.
What’s more, the functionality isn’t what I’m suggesting.
From what I read, it adds the number of our observations on the taxon pages, but no specific link on the observation pages.
Shows the count of your observations of a taxon on the taxon’s page.
@sessilefielder , perhaps should you add this functionnality on the observation’s page ?
Exactly!
Indeed, You can have this link for each identification.
But I wasn’t expecting to see it here: it would be nice to have this link on the observation itself, for the species identified by the community.
BTW, the extension does provide a link to see your observations of a given taxa. See the “view yours” button under the “total observations” section on the example on the image. If I click that link it takes me to my observations.
Yes, @thomaseverest did show me this feature
But as I was saying, it only concerns species (taxon) pages, not observations pages.
On the latter, the link to “my observations” is available from the identifications, but not from the page as a whole.
It’s better than nothing, and I’ve discovered this feature which will be very useful to me, but I think that a global link from the page, relating to the “community taxon”, would also be useful, as in the screenshot I’ve provided.
