I am trying to create a participatory mapping site where users can draw pts, lines and polys using Leaflet draw.

Is it possible to create a pop window where users can add a title or description of the feature they draw -or- after they draw, click on the feature and add a label or description?

Absolutely. I added this functionality to an application by creating a popup on the shape when the draw:created function fired. Here is a quick run through of how it works.

map.on('draw:created', function (e) {
     var idIW = L.popup();
     var content = '<span><b>Shape Name</b></span><br/><input id="shapeName" type="text"/><br/><br/><span><b>Shape Description<b/></span><br/><textarea id="shapeDesc" cols="25" rows="5"></textarea><br/><br/><input type="button" id="okBtn" value="Save" onclick="saveIdIW()"/>';
     idIW.setContent(content);
     idIW.setLatLng(latlng); //calculated based on the e.layertype
     idIW.openOn(map);
}

function saveIdIW() {
     var sName = $('#shapeName').val();
     var sDesc = $('#shapeDesc').val();

     var drawings = drawnItems.getLayers();  //drawnItems is a container for the drawn objects
     drawings[drawings.length - 1].title = sName;
     drawings[drawings.length - 1].content = sDesc;

     if (idIW) {
        map.closePopup();
     }
}

Here is an image of how it appears: enter image description here

    @Thomas, it would be best if you posted a new question. One showing your code progress so far, and where you are having difficulties. That way the community can review and respond.
