Ordering or search of datasets of a group brings up 'no results'

[shevski]

1. go to a group, e.g. ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/group/data-explorer
2. Order by anything, e.g. choose 'popular' and click go
3. "sorry no datasets found" message appears instead of ordering the group datasets in wanted order

In fact, this is the wrong bug. Search doesn't seem to work *at all* in groups

Tried to search ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/group/data-explorer?q=&sort=views_recent+desc

Bug 1: no results Bug 2: the text display covers the order by box

I have disabled the sort order of group datasets in phase 2 as it is totally broken - I'll re-add it in phase 3

Also the comment you made you added bug2 - text covers order by box -PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS - all it does is make the tickets really hard to deal with - if this becomes a habit I will close all such tickets as INVALID as it makes trac unusable for developers - THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT - cheers

@aron,

can you watch for feature creep in tickets and let me know if it happens - thanks

Hey, I only mentioned bug 2 here because I'm pretty certain this already exists as a separate ticket. Have definitely reported it before, but i think someone else created the ticket - so just wanted to remind that this hasn't been fixed either yet.

What's the best way to do this in future?

@ira,

It is much easier to work with tickets that only cover one thing - If something is found then the easiest thing is to add a new ticket. If you feel it's related to another ticket then you can add that to the new ticket eg related to #1234

If tickets need combining it is easy for us devs to do it. Basically adding something to a ticket is generally a bad thing. Sometimes it's fair enough if something is missing for a new feature being reviewed etc - but even then a new ticket is generally not a problem. Small tickets are nice to work on as we can close them quick etc. The old [super] style tickets have been banned as they generally lead to owners becoming demotivated and unproductive.

It's always nice if you can find if a ticket already exists but I don't mind you opening a few duplicates if you can't find the ticket - for the demo you can probably just skim the tickets in the milestones as there aren't too many - but as you know I try to review them quite often.

Also please don't reopen really old tickets just add a new one If it's been closed in the last month or so then feel free to re-open if you're sure it's not just waiting for release - you can always check with the last owner of the ticket.

hope that makes sense

@aron,

can you re-add the dropdown and sort the overlap issue not sure which template it's in

[aron.carroll]

Done in 8769233. I think the overlap issue was fixed for the dataset search a while ago. Let me know if it remains.
