879318 - One-Click shortcut to add makes to the front page/feature

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webmaker Graveyard :: MakeAPI, defect)

Description

[Chris DeCairos (:cade)]

Might include a UI refresh for the table (to hide columns that are not used and taking up space.

basically, this will be a set of checkboxes that add the necessary tags to feature something on the front page (by filter)

This needs discussion on the specific tags we're going to use. cc-ing those who would be interested in knowing, please add any I miss.

examples based on what I see on mofostaging:

front page :: recommended - "webmaker.org:recommended" AND "webmaker.org:featured"

front page :: featured - "webmaker.org:featured" (maybe a NOT for "webmaker.org:recommended")

teach page :: recommended guide - "webmaker.org:recommended" AND "webmaker.org:guide"

teach page :: featured guides - "webmaker.org:featured" AND "webmaker.org:guide" ( NOT "webmaker.org:recommended" ? )

I'm pretty sure the "NOT"s will require some filtering by the consumer of the API or and API update.

I think that we should leave content that is filtered by the teach page and other galleries as raw tags - this allows anyone to create content that could be filtered on those pages.

Thus MakeEditor only requires have the ability to add "webmaker.org:featured" AND webmaker.org:guide".

A question: should we allow the MakeEditor to also append raw tags?  So if we want to manually tag sets of content, we can?

we can have less strict filters that operate on raw tags, and still use app tags to pull in stuff we really want to feature at the top of pages.

The tool has the power to do that already :D

So does this mean that we would be changing all tags to have some sort of domain-specific prefix?

Comment 6

[Chris DeCairos (:cade)]

I think the basic agreement is to use "webmaker" as our app tag prefix, and I can look into the webmaker.org repo for an idea of what tags we can use here.

WIP.

I set this up to add something to the front page with one click. we can also have a button to add something to /teach.

This can also be adapted to allow for specifying position on the page through sticky tags and priority level tags - see Bug 881699
