Working on Tag Search

This week I tweaked the remix partial a bit, in preparation for there being no remix show page. I still need to finish the javascript so that you can click on it and have the same effects as when you hover. I've written out a skeletal version, I just haven't debugged it yet. It seemed important to put the tags on the partial, although I think I may also add a visual list of the tags associated with each remix. That way the user doesn't have to find the "tags" option (which is inconsistent with the rest of the site, where it's called "add tag") in order to view the remix's tags.

 

The partial still needs a little work, but mostly this week Atalie and I were trying to fix various parts of tag searching. I went through the tag and search code we have in the master branch and was able to fix a few things that way (in the edge branch, where we're working), but for the most part the code already looked pretty similar. After that I added remixes into the tags controller, though they were still as broken as worlds, now they at least had the potential to work. Then I wandered through all the community engine tag code I could find, and was able to fix a bit more, such that instead of the problem was no longer that the controller couldn't find "Taggings" at all, but that the MySQL query was slightly wrong. Atalie worked on it further, from this starting point, and was able to fix a lot of it, such that now the tag results pages load. We're still displaying the wrong collections of tag results here and there, but we've identified several specific things to fix that will probably correct this or at least get us in the right direction. Overall, tag search is much closer to working again.
