User-facing consequences

1. Users might find it inconvenient or confusing due to:
   • Misalignment of the button on the first visit.
   • Missing 'Show More' button when revisiting, which limits access to all resources.

Additional information

@MisRob The issue #4838 (Hotfixes - Import from other channels - The 'Show more' button is not centered) was assigned to me. While working on it, I noticed there were additional related problems, so I opened a new issue to address them. As I'm interested in contributing to both, I started working on resolving these issues together to ensure a complete fix.

Hey @jayesh9747. I will assign this to you. However, It will be great if you can solve #4838 first an then come to this later.

[jayesh9747]

@AlexVelezLl, thank you for your advice. I will definitely follow the path you suggested. Once again, thank you! I deeply resonate with your answer.

@AlexVelezLl @MisRob

I'm working on this issue where the "Show More" button misalignment and missing on revisit happens. It works fine in the local development environment, but in production, it's not working properly. I thought it might be an API response issue, but the response should be correct and consistent in both environments.

I've attached some console screenshots.

Local ENV:

Screencast.from.04-01-25.10.39.25.PM.IST.webm

Production ENV:

Screencast.from.04-01-25.10.46.00.PM.IST.webm

In there production Enviorment there api resone have showmore Object but there is no show more button.

Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and suggest how to tackle it?

[AlexVelezLl]

Hey @jayesh9747! Could you provide more context about when is this happening? I am being able to see the show more button in the prod env, so perhaps is an edge case.

Hello, @AlexVelezLl,

Whenever I go to:

https://hotfixes.studio.learningequality.org/en/accounts/#/ and sign in.
Open a channel, click Add > Import from channels > African Storybook Library (multiple languages) > Afrikaans > Level 2.
The first time, the "Show More" button was visible. However, when I revisited the same resource page, the "Show More" button was no longer shown. Additionally, only the initial 25 resources were displayed, and no more were loaded.

I have shared a demo video above. Could you revisit the same resource page and check whether you're able to see the "Show More" button?

[jayesh9747]

Also provide differnt browser(brave) demo vedio

Screencast.from.07-01-25.09.00.26.AM.IST.webm

see in this vedio whenever i go leval 4 first time i am able to see the show more button but when i revisit same leval for show more button vanished.

[AlexVelezLl]

Oh okay, I get it, although this is the bug this issue is reporting. We need to find a way of how can we solve it in unstable first.

[jayesh9747]

@AlexVelezLl can you guide me from where i can start to find out this ? and please tag me whenever you reply so that i will get notification, thank you.

[AlexVelezLl]

Hey @jayesh9747! For sure! The page that is showing those resources is the CurrentTopicView that calls this NodePanel component. Within that component you can see here the code that renders the showMore button. So a first step would be to investigate what happens with that displayShowMoreButton condition, and why its not met the second time we visit the page.
