backend problems

Can I please ask everyone to provide hyperlinks !!! in your bug reports whereever possible. You can link to any and all pages of the OpenEthnographer backend. Makes it much faster for anyone reading your report to confirm and triage the issue.

This is not a pagination issue.

When you filter by a Discourse tag like #ethno-poprebel, Open Ethnographer will show you all codes appearing in #ethno-poprebel topics; plus their descendant codes, if those descendant codes themselves appear in #ethno-poprebel topics.

Conversely, if a code does not appear in a #ethno-poprebel topic, then it is not shown; and also its descendant codes are not shown, even if those descendant codes do appear in #ethno-poprebel topics.

That’s why you see only four Z … codes when applying the “Discourse tag: ethno-poprebel” filter: only those for are applied in #ethno-poprebel topics directly. In case of the other Z … top-level codes, only some descendant code appears in #ethno-poprebel topics. (I just confirmed this by temporarily applying code Z Institutions - Category temporarily to a #ethno-poprebel topic; it then appeared in the list of codes filtered by Discourse tag #ethno-poprebel.

There are two solutions:

  • The immediate solution: as a workaround, apply each of the top-level Z … codes directly in a #ethno-poprebel topic. This only needs to be temporarily, as long as you are working with the code hierarchy.

  • The proper solution: we have to solve the issue that I just created for this problem. Since there is a workaround and there is no POPREBEL IT budget left, please don’t expect this to happen during the POPREBEL project (except if … very urgent?). But it’s a valid point for future improvement, so I have put it on our roadmap.

Are you referring to the issue reported by SZdenek here? In that case, I answered that below his report already.
