Disable slideshow view on search results

[rschwab]

A patron landed on this page with a slideshow view: https://digitalcollections.library.ucsc.edu/catalog?f%5Bancestor_collection_titles_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Carol+Foote+photographs+of+the+University+of+California%2C+Santa+Cruz&f%5BsubjectName_sim%5D%5B%5D=University+of+California%2C+Santa+Cruz&f%5BsubjectPlace_sim%5D%5B%5D=University+of+California+Santa+Cruz&locale=zh&search_field=masterFilename&sort=system_modified_dtsi+desc&view=slideshow

Similar to translations, there is no way to change this in the UI, so the patron was stuck.

Background

Patrons should not be seeing or having the option to see the slideshow view at all. They should be viewing search results and browsing in grid view:

Earlier in the project, we decided to remove the dropdown that would allow patrons to switch between different view formats, see related work.

Requirements

• look for any remaining pages that allow you to set the slideshow view. This is clearly removed from the main search, but may be hiding somewhere on the site. it also may not.
• If a user comes to the site with grid view selected, change the selected view to normal for them, as we do not use or support slideshow view.

Implementation notes

• a before_action that looks for the view=slideshow param may be enough to resolve this issue whether someone has it set or not. Be sure to set a browser to view=slideshow before disabling it though, as it seems to look in the cookies or otherwise stick in the browser somehow.

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] The only view should be grid view!

Interestingly I just hit the URL that the patron shared with Teresa (i.e. the one at the top of the ticket) and I'm no longer seeing the slideshow view in production. Chinese or Japanese language text, but no slideshow view!

Hi Rachel, The Chinese or Japanese language text translates to view slideshow. Please test the same in staging and it should work. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Sneha

Staging looks good. Here's a screenshot of the same page in staging: https://digitalcollections-staging.library.ucsc.edu/catalog?f%5Bancestor_collection_titles_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Carol+Foote+photographs+of+the+University+of+California%2C+Santa+Cruz&f%5BsubjectName_sim%5D%5B%5D=University+of+California%2C+Santa+Cruz&f%5BsubjectPlace_sim%5D%5B%5D=University+of+California+Santa+Cruz&locale=zh&search_field=masterFilename&sort=system_modified_dtsi+desc&view=slideshow

And for comparison, here's how things look in production:

In cruising through other content in staging, I haven't had slideshow view pop up once :)
