funded issue links are long and clunky

https://gitcoin.co/funding/details?url=https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/343

this could easily be collapsed to

https://gitcoin.co/funding/details/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/343

requirements

• make it so that the above link format works
• maintain backwards comipatibility
• update all external facing links for bounties to go to the new link format

@owocki -- Possible solution for this issue:

1. New URL route for Bounty -- Create a new method which will be similar to the existing bounty_details in dashboard. Just a slight modification to the way we fetch the GitHub URL from the request. We just need to replace by https://github.com in the request path
2. Maintain backwards compatibility -- The existing bounty_details request will simply redirect to the new URL in the expected format
3. Update all external facing links for bounties to go to the new link format -- Fixing 2) should automatically handle this

good thoughts :)

I took a look/almost finished it... I think. But when replacing this in the js files and extracting orga/user, repo and issue number - right now I just followed/copied the existing patterns so there is one api url/github request for each. Or is this info already saved somewhere that I missed?

not that im aware of.. but you could parse it in the python view and then pass it down in the template (as opposed to having to re-parse it in the JS file)

@lazaridiscom i like that URL structure :)

@step21 are you still actively working on this? happy to have someone else take a look at it if you've gotten pulled in another direction
