Missing redirect on mapper frontend, if no project is specified

[DanielJDufour]

Describe the bug
I go to http://fmtm.localhost:7050/mapnow and none of the tasks I created appear

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'http://fmtm.localhost:7050/mapnow
2. View the empty map

Expected behavior
I would expect it to zoom to the project(s) I created. Or maybe give a list of projects to select from.

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [e.g. iPhone6] iPhone SE (size using Chrome dev tools)
• OS: [e.g. iOS8.1] MacOS
• Browser [e.g. stock browser, safari] Chrome
• Version [e.g. 22]

Additional context
When I add a 1 to the url it works: http://fmtm.localhost:7050/mapnow/1

I'm still learning how to get started, but I think if someone goes to this page for the first time they might need some more help.

I was temped to say this is a documentation issue, but on second thought this page should not be accessible.

We have two things to address here.

Mapper Manual

• @manjitapandey the mapper guide is out of date now.
• https://docs.fmtm.dev/manuals/mapping/#step-2-access-the-mapper-frontend
• The two ways to access the mapper page:
  • Click on a project card on the home page, while on a mobile device (the developer experience for this is not great currently, as the developer is on a non-mobile device and its based on the browser UserAgent. Perhaps there is a way to address this).
  • Mapper is sent a direct link via other communication channel by their project manager (e.g. WhatsApp).

/mapnow page

• This should only be accessible with a project id in the URL.
• The nginx proxy rule (that directs to the mapper frontend) might need tweaking.
• We should have a not found page, or similar, if the user goes here without providing an id. Or alternatively, just redirect to the home page.

Thanks, You guys totally make sense. I will again proofread the documentation and update wherever things needs modification.

I was thinking mapper frontend is a bit technical term for general users to read on documentation. I think we should change the term to more general term like mapper's page or mapper's view. Welcome to any sort of suggestions.
