Metapackages page should show forums info #345

Closed GoodClover closed 2 years ago

GoodClover commented 2 years ago

Problem

The metapackages page will show "No packages avaliable" if a metapackage is not avaliable on CDB, but is on the forums. e.g. computer from https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=9567 dosen't show in https://content.minetest.net/metapackages/computer/

Solutions

Show a "More content from the forums", the same way as search results do.

I'm not sure of CDB internals, but I presume this would have to be based on normal search, rather than analysis to show what forum post mods actually provide the meta-package.(the fact CDB can even do this with mods on CDB is already amazing) This must be made obvious!

This is already the case. I believe computers isn't shown because it's discarded. Editors and authors can mark topics as discarded to indicate they're old and not worth being on ContentDB. But this may not be that useful for users

OK, so the actual problem here is that the forum topic didn't have [computer], so ContentDB can't find it.

I can't see a bug here, and showing forum topics by naively filtering the forum list doesn't make sense. I've edited that topic to add [computer]
