Events & Blog tags direct to wrong page

[jules32]

@samanthacsik when you get a chance, would you be able to double-check how the clickable tags at the top of specific blogs/events work for Events and Blog categories?

If I click on "Events" or "workshops" tags from this link: https://openscapes.org/events/2022-09-13-tidepool-digital/index.html

I'm taken to the main Connect page

.

Compare to clicking on the right nav-bar for "workshops", which does go to the correct place:

This might be something with Netlify? I can help dig into that if that is the case. Thank you!

Hi @jules32! I was poking around a bit and realized that clicking a category at the top of an Event (regardless of the tag) directed us back to the "Upcoming Events" listing on the Connect with Us page and filtered any Events that appeared in that listing by that category (rather than sending us the actual Events listing page and filtering all Events posts). It was more obvious when I chose a category like MENTORSHIP:

which directed me to the Connect with Us page and the filtered the Upcoming Events listing for just the post(s) tagged with MENTORSHIP (there happened to be only one):

I checked out the YAMLs of both blog.qmd and events.qmd and noticed that categories was set to true in the blog listing, but set to numbered in the events listing. I'm not totally sure why they were different (and tbh, I don't know what setting categories: numbered actually does). But updating the it to categories: true in the YAML of events.qmd seemed to fix things!

Going to open a PR now :)

Ah, thanks Sam! So that also explains also why you're taken to the home page (openscapes.org) when you click on a blog tag, since the blog listing page is embedded in the home page. Would there be a way for it to take you to

https://openscapes.org/blog.html#category=how-we-work

rather than

https://openscapes.org/index.html#category=how-we-work?

...And would we want that? It might be more where people would expect to end up

Oh great catch, I didn't realize it was happening on the blog as well! Okay after a bit of fiddling, I ended up removing the following two lines from the blog.qmd YAML:

sort-ui: false
filter-ui: false

Neither of these options were included in the events.qmd YAML.

Both options are true by default, and I think I may have copied them over from my own website's listing page without thinking much about what they do. I think settingfilter-ui to false may have something to do with the behavior we're seeing (i.e. being brought to the "mini" listing rather than the filtered full listing page), but I'm not totally sure. Regardless, I don't really see a need to set either of them to false on blog.qmd, and removing those options seems to fix the issue.

We fixed the issue with Blog! woo! 71051ec20605cabef153e3f55c902f0806524e17

Still not with Events though, here is a PR where we were working and testing, then closed when didn't fix. Netlify deploy links still live there: https://github.com/Openscapes/website-new/pull/73
