Projects page

[davenquinn]

Several improvements are needed for non-standard projects (e.g., eODP, https://dev.macrostrat.org/projects/3 and New Zealand, https://dev.macrostrat.org/projects/5). The goal is to represent each project well and faithfully.

Some of the major issues, like a slow-loading map and garbled header styles, will be fixed by other improvements. But several improvements can be made to the page itself.

Some elements may be easier to address with API updates than frontend changes. In these cases, we will prefer to use PostgREST APIs.

• Ideally, individual columns should link to /projects/<id>/columns/<col_id> page rather than a general columns page. This will allow easy navigation back to the containing project. We might adopt this structure more generally with redirects in the future.
• The column map should automatically center the columns in the project in question, if possible. This is particularly a problem for new zealand
• We should be able to toggle on/of whether in process or empty columns are shown in the list (filtering the map appropriately as well)
• The map on the individual column page should show the column in its correct project (which will allow keyboard navigation among columns)
• Ideally columns could be filtered for containing lithologies, etc...but this might be better to create a unified solution for once we get the lexicon pages working

@davidsklar99 I think some of these (especially the linking problems) will be easy but some will need more thought

[davidsklar99]

@davenquinn for your first point, this already exists when clicking from the /projects/@id page. Is this change supposed to be from /columns page?

[davenquinn]

Ah, now I see you are correct. I'm not quite sure what happened – maybe I just made a mistake or there's a stray link.

At any rate, reviewing these to verify correctness and catch any edge cases would be great.

Also, ideally, if you go to /columns/<id> and it's not part of a standard project, maybe it would redirect to the appropriate project?

For your point "The map on the individual column page should show the column in its correct project (which will allow keyboard navigation among columns)". It already does, just is very slow

[davenquinn]

Ah, @davidsklar99, I figured out my issue with the first point. When I am on a project page and click a column on the map, it navigates to the bare column page, not the project.

Because that column page expects to see the columns in the default project, the map renders the default columns. (The correct view of the column itself is still rendered).

Things work correctly when the column in the list is clicked.
