At the moment the "View all" button on the Homepage directs to https://playfulprogramming.com/page/.
On my first Visit I wasn't aware that I can filter Articles. I was simply browsing all pages although I would have known the tag (but not the title). In fact, I found the filters by accident & spent a minute to find them again.
I suggest merging the collections view & the pages view somehow.

[-][Feature Request]: Make the user aware of the fact he can filter.[/-][+]Change "View All" posts pages to search page[/+]BamaCharanChhandogi commentedon Apr 10, 2025
Hi @PatchGopher ,
Which
View all
button are you talking about?jessi-z3 commentedon Apr 12, 2025
I believe this is in reference to post page 1.
I believe it expected behavior when clicking View All next to Recent Articles that you see the list of articles by most recent.
Entering a Search query or clicking View All for Collections displays the filters.
I think we could garner support for adding the filters to the Recent Articles (posts) pages, since it sounds like that is the goal here.

I think this is now ready to move forward @crutchcorn.
The view all page is already sorted by the most recent articles, so I will just add the filters to this page.

I may have gone down the wrong path here....
Seeing this comment, I thought that the feature requested was to add the filter bar to the posts page.
Did you just want the link changed to go to the search page?

EDIT: To expound on above, I noticed that the collections "View All" button linked to the search page with relevant parameters, but the articles "View All" button linked to a different page. My assumption was that I needed to redesign this page to have the filter bar with the required functionality.

@ckhackshaw I'd understood this as removing the post pages entirely, and having the posts "View all" link go to the search page filtered to articles, similar to how the collections link works (calling buildSearchQuery with "posts" instead of "collections"). That way it wouldn't need to reimplement the query/filter behavior.
Also, the current
/page/[number]
URLs would not be compatible with filters, as right now they're statically generated. So I don't see how this is possible without the end result being a duplicate of the search page either way.Sorry to make you change your PR after starting it...

@fennifith that's what I was thinking, something didn't feel right when I was making the changes and so much was going to end up being reused. It felt like the search page without the ability to search.
I'll make those changes.
