Active Communities Tab

Provide multiple views of Communities.

Product Backlog Description

As a user viewing the Communities home page, I am shown All Communities (I can see) by default but can opt to show only Active Communities (any community updated in the last X months).

Specification

• Very similar to sub-tabs in People. Active tab has one style, other tabs have another style. Each tab, including the default tab, has a @name on the view.
• The My Communities portlet appears on both tabs, but is outside (to the right of) the tab “frame”.
• Both tabs get the letterbox/searchbox combo.
• Two tabs: All and Active. The former is the current Communities view. On the latter, make the tab name have an onhover which explains the policy for “Active” by saying: “Communities last updated in previous six months”.
• Active means, filter out all communities that weren’t active in last six months
• All is the default tab. Clicking on Communities should redirect to the view for All (as it currently does.)
• If possible, use a cookie to make the choice of tab “sticky”, as we do in calendar views. That is, if you click on a non-default tab, it sets a cookie saying you prefer that view. Later, when you click on Communities, before doing the redirect, see if there is a cookie choosing a non-default view. If so, redirect there.
• Tres made a previous stab at all this, but with a UI that wasn’t right. Get with him to find out what parts he did and what might need to be ripped out.
