903000 - Include more information in project remixes

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[Matthew Schranz [:mjschranz]]

Right now when a user remixes a project our server returns minimal data.

1) The actual Popcorn Data
2) The Name.
3) Original project Id
4) Original project makeid

I'm wondering if we should be including more though. Recently we landed the code to carry tags over from one project to another. Do we want to also include things like the projects description, it's thumbnail?

I wonder if we should do something similar to title?

Carry everything over, but for anything that doesn't make sense, add something in the spirit of "remix of " + title? Not sure where that is going to make sense when applied to things other than title, but we can think about how we can apply the concept.

Also, what's wrong with including description and thumbnail? If we can just include it all, we should.

I think we should include description and thumbnail.  We need to implement Kate's thunbnail/description stuff from thimble that makes this more obvious, then users will change as needed.

Yeah, should include thumbnail and description on a remix if we are not.

Hey Laila,

Sure thing!

As a quick head start, this ticket is mostly addressing how much information is returned from an existing project when it is remixed. https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn.webmaker.org/blob/master/routes/api/remix.js is where we set that data server side. Thumbnail managed to be patched in at some point already but description is still missing so we should add that in.

Let me know if you need any help.
