FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

For more documentation, please refer to https://docs.ushahidi.com

Create a Post

Here are the steps to submit a post and learn more about the fields:

Step 1: Add Text

Add the content of your post, e.g I love the crowdmap elephant

Note: We added a 'markdown' cheat sheet to help you with basic post commands:

Step 2: Click on the Camera and add a photo (from your photo files), if you have one to share

Step 3: Add your Location (optional)

 If the place you are trying to add doesn't already exist in the location, you can add it, and it will be saved in our crowdmap place database.

Step 4: You can add a post with the option of adding this post to a map.

You can add the post to maps you own, or maps you follow

 

Step 5: Private settings can be changed. You can share the post with "public" or "private". (optional)

Note: a private post not posted to any maps is only viewable by the post owner. A private post posted to a map is viewable by any owner and collaborators of that particular map.
