Plots2: Idea: powertag pages for activity (`activity:foo`) can use the "value" of their key:value pair

[ebarry]

Please describe the desired behavior.

This is a feature idea for convention for powertag pages for Activity:foo to

1. have their lead cards default to the "value" of their key:value pair
2. have their lead images be pulled from the "value" wiki page of their key:value pair

For instance, view https://publiclab.org/tag/activity:microscope to see that the lead card could have a link back to /microscope, and the lead image be pulled from /microscope.

Additional context (optional)

Thank you for reading!

We currently have this card pull from a page that's redirected to, which is a similar situation. So, we can look at these lines of code:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/8715803d0336c45e854bf0d12375547a3f458624/app/controllers/tag_controller.rb#L76-L82

We can add a condition which detects if it's a key:value powertag, like:

elsif tagname = params[:id].match(':') && node = Node.where(slug: tagname)&.first
    @wiki = node # skip powertag prefix to find wiki page

...I think? This might take some reworking, but it's worth a try!

This has been marked as a good candidate for becoming a first-timers-only issue like these, meaning that it's simple, self-contained, and with some extra formatting, could be a great entry point for a new contributor. If you're familiar enough with this code, please consider reformatting or reposting it as a first-timers-only issue, and then ping @publiclab/reviewers to get it labelled. Or, if this is not your first time, try to solve it yourself!

Thanks to anyone who might be able to reformat this as a first-timers-only issue 💚

So, if I get it right. This card:

should look exactly like this one:

Please, correct me where I am wrong!

HI @Karska-dev ,
Thanks for working on this one!

This situation is where there's a power tag in the form key:value where value already has a dedicated wiki page.

In your example, you are showing the tag page for the powertag activity:translation. There is a page publiclab.org/wiki/translation, so the activity:translation card should:

1. pull the preview text from publiclab.org/wiki/translation, same as publiclab.org/tag/translation does.
2. display a "Learn more" button that links to /wiki/translation instead of "Add a description" button that leads to an editor for creating a new wiki page.
3. pull the lead image from /wiki/translation same as /tag/translation does
4. Remain labelled on the card as activity:translation
