Temple Hints - Show all link going to wrong view.

joemartel

I click on the Show All in Temple Hints and it is linking to the wrong view page and showing record hints (which is a different widget)

@joemartel I already reported this:

"Show All" links for hints don't work

Thanks for the feedback @Alan E. Brown and @joemartel - the Hints is a toggle between "Records" and "Temple" and defaults to the last one you were in. If it comes up on Record Hints when you select Show All in Temple Hints - just select the temple button on the top left of the column to get the Temple Hints and vice-versa for Record Hints.

@Mary T Wilson Yes, we know how it works. But to any reasonable viewer, it is broken. If there is a Show All button on the Record Hints widget, then clicking that button should show all the Record Hints. You shouldn't have to adjust any toggles on the page you land on in order to see what you clearly intended to see.

If you look at the URL that is associated with those Show All buttons, they look like https://www.familysearch.org/en/home/tasks/?show=record (or show=temple for the Temple hints widget). Clearly the presence of that show query parameter indicates that the implementation was intended to set the Records and Temple toggles accordingly so that you would immediately see the specific list of hints anyone would expect to see when they click the Show All button. It's just plain confusing that that isn't happening.

If you toggle back and forth, it comes up with a notice:

Show all your hints

There are hints available, but none match the filters above. Change the filter setting to see all matches.

It takes another click or two to get back to a list. This page does not work well yet.

@Alan E. Brown and @joemartel - just a quick follow-up - a ticket has been opened on this.
