At location button to dashboard sidebar

[nstjean]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

📋 Step by Step

• 🙋 Claim this issue: Comment below. If someone else has claimed it, ask if they've opened a pull request already and if they're stuck -- maybe you can help them solve a problem or move it along!

• 📝 Update the file sidebar/_dashboard.html.erb in the plots2 repository (press the little pen Icon) and edit the line as shown below.

See this page for some help in taking your first steps!

On line 20 remove this:

plots2/app/views/sidebar/_dashboard.html.erb

Line 20 in 46af803

<br><br>

And add in this code in its place:

<div style="margin: 2.2rem 0;">
  <a class="btn btn-lg btn-outline-secondary blurred-location-input" submit_to="/profile/tags/create/<%= current_user.uid %>"><i class="fa fa-map-marker" style="color:#c40;"></i> Add your location</a>
  <p style="font-size: smaller; margin: 0.3rem 0;">
    Add your location to see work near you<br>
    <a href="https://publiclab.org/location-privacy" target="_blank">About location privacy »</a>
  </p>
</div>

It will look like this when you are done!

💬⏰ - We encourage contributors to be respectful to the community and provide an update within a week of claiming a first-timers-only issue. We're happy to keep it assigned to you as long as you need if you update us with a request for more time or help, but if we don't see any activity a week after you claim it we may reassign it to give someone else a chance. Thank you in advance!
