Make tag-search page into a better default topic landing page #1913

Open davidmegginson opened 9 years ago

davidmegginson commented 9 years ago

Every HDX tag is a potential topic landing page (as we found with Ruby on the weekend), e.g. https://data.hdx.rwlabs.org/dataset?tags=health for datasets with the tag "health"

A few low-effort changes could improve the usability of those pages considerably, so that the community can easily cluster around tags/topics without our creating a custom page every time. The following would apply only when a search is for a single tag and nothing else:

I can enable this on my side whenever you want.

Have to figure out how this fits in with the browse page. Going to leave it in the backlog for now.

Due to my miscommunication, the /topic/XXX -> /dataset?tags=XXX redirect does exist now, in stealth mode. Example: https://data.hdx.rwlabs.org/topic/gender

Note that this is a client-side redirect (the user sees the new URL in her browser address bar), not a server-side redirect like https://data.hdx.rwlabs.org/ebola ; I suggest leaving it as it is for now, since it doesn't affect anything on the site, and it's available for rapid use if needed.

Moving back to backlog.
