Plots2: Standardize presentation of results on tag pages (Research Notes)

[TildaDares]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

@cesswairimu I'm breaking up the tasks in #9510. Are these changes okay?

[TildaDares]

@xdshivani I'm waiting on a reviewer to approve this and when they do you can work on it.

[TildaDares]

@RuthNjeri Can you approve this?

[RuthNjeri]

Thanks for opening this up @TildaDares,
For the texts, we encourage using the translation method and adding the text in the en.yml file... have a look at this example issue.. https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/9249

[RuthNjeri]

Once you update it to used the translation method and have the text within the en.yml, the issue should be good to go 🚀

[TildaDares]

@RuthNjeri I've made the changes. I'm still going to have to create another issue to replace the files that use tag.show.no_results_found

[RuthNjeri]

@TildaDares can that replacement also be done by this issue? I am concerned that if there are files using the old tag.show.no_results_found and it is removed, we might not display the correct content for the users as we wait for those files to be updated...

Alternatively, we could keep the previous no_results_found and have the notes one as notes_no_results_found then after all the changes have been made, we can update the en.yml file with the nesting you have specified for the notes, wiki, or even questions in the future...

What do you think?

[TildaDares]

@RuthNjeri I think the second option is better. This way we don't have to change code that uses no_results_found.

[TildaDares]

@RuthNjeri I've made the changes.

[RuthNjeri]

Thanks, @TildaDares, I think anyone interested can pick it up...

For the emoji on the text, is there a text/symbol for that emoji? Since it will be on a text file and rendered by the HTML tag

[TildaDares]

@RuthNjeri I'll change that now.

[TildaDares]

@xdshivani Do you still want to work on this?

[cesswairimu]

Thanks a lot @TildaDares for opening this :tada:

[TildaDares]

@DR-FREKE You can work on this.

[DR-FREKE]
