Redirect to the login view when login is required#1733
Conversation
When the `UMAP_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS` setting is False, we return the login url through a JSON response. We lost that ability in #1555. The JS part was not following that link in that particular case and lead to more errors because the map was not saved (hence, no `map_id`). For now, the current work on the map is lost because of the redirection and we have a confirmation dialog to quit the edited page with unsaved changes. Maybe we should display a custom message instead of a brutal redirection? Like: you’re not logged in, do it in a separate tab to keep you work? (A bit ugly…) Sidenote: we might want to use the `redirect` pattern/key in the JSON response that we already use for deletion and clone for consistency.

Thanks for the issue. I wonder: if the login is required, maybe we should login first before allowing the creation of a new map? 🤔 |

Humm, but with this proposal, the data is lost, no ? The tricky part, that was done before #1555, was:
There is an usage where users see a "prebuilt" map with remote data, so they can browse the data AND optionally save it later. Those users are not logged in. This is in use in the ANCT instance.: from the deveco app, people search for companies in their territory, and if they want to see it on a map, they are sent to uMap. |

We iterated on this with @Aurelie-Jallut and I should have report this here. We plan to add a modal window to explicitly state that it's in playground mode with data loss if no account is created/logged in. |

Two questions then:

🤔 It's not clear to me that I shouldn't go there by reading this message. Should we explicitly state that "You won't be able to save your edits"? |
