Related content should be moved below content area

[jamalex]

Right now, it distracts users from the main content. Also, there's no need to show the section if there are no related items.

Hi @jamalex, I had a more thorough click around, and I still cannot find any related content. Some examples are:

• The Annual plan template (has 1 related content item)
• The "Fill Two" resources under Teaching and Learning Material > P4 > Maths (each has 5 related content items, I believe) I'm not sure why this is the case... Please do let me know if I got the metadata wrong for this, as well as the organisational information. Thanks!

PS: Also, when opening videos I don't see any metadata (description, or organisation). Will that be displayed too?

[jamalex]

Hi @noemigerber! I do see related content on some items, e.g.: http://kitchen.learningequality.org:60130/learn/connectteaching/teaching-and-learning-material/teaching-and-learning-aids/flashcardvegetablesiilores/ (note that I just updated the demo server now, so the flashcards now have titles/related content)

For the two you mention here:

• The metadata file for the "Annual plan template" is named WCHAnnualPlanTemplate.pdf (1).json; you'll need to remove the " (1)" part so it's properly matched to the PDF file.
• I don't see a metadata file at all for the "Fill two" file at the moment.

I've opened #2607 regarding metadata on the video player.

[jamalex]

Fixed in #2610.

Hi @jamalex, thanks for the update. Yes, I see some related content too - it looks great!! I think it's a really useful feature, so thanks to you and @rtibbles for suggesting it! I hope the users in South Sudan will find it useful too! Thanks also for the update on the metadata, that's very strange. I noticed the following though (in the online demo):

• I have gone over my metadata files, and don't see any with a (1) in their titles. BUT I also noticed that all the metadata files that I re-did (to correct the incorrect "related-resources" line - about 20 items) do not show any metadata now (i.e. not even title or description). Is it possible that something went wrong while re-importing this content? What I mean is: I deleted the old metadata files (with the incorrect related content line) from from Google Drive, and replaced them with files containing the correct related content. These files have the exact same name as the old incorrect files (since they need to exactly correspond with the file name). So, in on Google Drive, there are no duplicates of metadata files, and therefore no metadata files with (1) in their title. Is it possible that, when you re-imported all content and metadata files, the system automatically renamed the correct ones and added a (1) to the file name? That's the only explanation I can think of, since I can't see any (1)s, and I therefore can't correct the file names either... What do you think? And how can we solve this?
• It seems that only the videos show organisational information. That's very odd, because the formatting of the metadata information on organisations is exactly the same for the PDFs... Why, therefore, is the organisational information not being shown for any of the PDFs (even though the description displays perfectly fine)?

It's very strange that you can't see any metadata for the Teaching Channel 'fill two' resources. I did prepare the metadata for all 5 resources that are related to the "fill two decimal game" video, and the video itself (available on Google Drive). Do you have any idea why this might be?

Another thing I wanted to add to the list of questions I sent you @jamalex: @66eli77 mentioned a few days ago via GitHub (in #2486) that he didn't see organisation information in the metadata I sent - which is strange because I've been including it in all metadata files. Could you please let me know where it is missing (do you have a quick way of viewing that?)? Since I've been including it everywhere, I wonder if I've made a mistake in the formatting of the metadata... I'm holding off with creating new metadata files until we work out these issues, since I want to avoid creating new files with mistakes that will later need to be edited. Please do let me know what I can do from my end to work out where these issues are coming from!

Hi Noemi I attached the metadata file I'm using with this email for your comparison. I noticed in the videos.json file, not all videos have organization.

Best, Eli

@66eli77 Won't appear on github, unfortunately. I think we need to take a look at the files that @noemigerber has been making on Google Drive to determine what's going on here.

[rtibbles]

@noemigerber A preliminary look from me, seems to suggest you are making the metadata correctly. I will be checking into the content importing later today to see what the issue is here.

[noemigerber]

Hi @rtibbles and @66eli77, thanks so much for looking into the metadata issues. It's good to read in #2641 that you seem to have located the problem. Thanks also for letting me know that it looks as though I'm making the metadata correctly. In that case I'll continue making more metadata files and update Google Drive as I go!
