Provide a list of collections for site visitors

[thelovebug]

Currently there is no way of knowing what collections are available for site visitors to view.

Suggestion that on the user profile there is a sample of recently updated collections, with a link to the full list of collections.
This is similar to the existing recently updated media, and a link to all media

Yes, I've also noticed that the collections that a user may have are nowhere to be found but on the page of a specific file. It would be very handy to list a user's collections on the userpage or somesuch.

example.org/u/collections/acollection shows the page for the collection (and is only linked from a file's page), but example.org/u/user/collections returns 404

Yup, that's me :)

The branch location should be stable, but for the avoidance of doubts I've also attached the (git format-)patch to this bug log. Please let me know if you have comments.

Okay, going to look at this, very soon.

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

Elrond kindly reviewed my patch and provided feedback on IRC.

I've implemented the requested changes, namely:

• drop the atom feed
• drop pagination support

I've now updated my Git repo at ​http://git.upsilon.cc/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=mediagoblin.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/feature/browse-collections by rebasing the old change on top of master and adding 2 separate commits for the changes Elrond requested.

A valid git remote add URL should be ​http://git.upsilon.cc/r/mediagoblin.git , but then you should merge the branch feature/browse-collections

[Elrond]

Okay, great work by zack!

Merged it!
