Can't access 'COL: releases' which is only sometimes on left menu #1346

Closed jar398 closed 4 months ago

jar398 commented 5 months ago

I was able to find the 'COL: releases' list once tonight, but subsequently it never showed up again. It should be just below 'Downloads'. I cleared cookies, no change.

Could be a browser issue, haven't checked a different browser yet. I'm using Firefox 116.0.1 (64-bit) on Debian.

The effect of this is that I can't figure out how to access, say, COL22. It doesn't even work as a search term.

Tried two browsers on MacOS.

Safari 3.1.3 MacOS 10.15.7 COL: releases does not show up at all.

Firefox 121.0 (64-bit) on MacOS 10.15.7: COL: releases shows up the first time I visit checklistbank.org. But after I download a subtree of COL22, it has disappeared. If I refresh the page, I see 'COL: releases' for about half a second, and then it disappears.

There are various ways to access the list of COL releases.

1) If you are NOT logged in you'll see a COL: releases item in the left menu. It works for me on both Safari and Chrome. When you are logged in it disappears though. @thomasstjerne maybe we should put a link to the CLB home page or keep the menu item for everyone? The menu becomes a bit cluttered though if we keep this as a first level item 2) you can go to the dataset search and select "COL working draft" in the released from field for filtering: https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset?releasedFrom=3&reverse=false&sortBy=created 3) you can go to the COL project page and hit the releases menu item

We have changed the menu and integrated the COL releases as a button in the dataset search page
