Issue: #2385

Summary & Context

This PR integrates the Community Page with backend data, fixing all CTA and Link URLs and adjusting some minor copy text.

Figma link: https://www.figma.com/design/5j0fQssrV9ipoU16P7hfKy/Website-Deliverables?node-id=3071-11044&m=dev
Link to components/page: http://localhost:8000/community/

Changes

Modify core/views.py to pull data from the database instead of mocked data;
Modify v3/community.html to ssr some CTA links;
Modify _thread_archive_card.html to accept url arguments;
Add a many-to-many model to hold pinned library information;
Fix the globally selected boost version to also work in the community page;

Testing pinned libraries

Navigate to http://localhost:8000/admin/core/sitesettings/;
Click on the first id (id == 1);
Scroll down to this section:

- Move the libs you wanna pin to the right pane, hit save; - Go to the community page again, refresh, and you should see the pinned libraries at the top of the libraries card;

Hi @herzog0 ! This is looking great. I'm just mainly requesting change to exclude deleted posts from the Entry query and add the ability to pin library in the Library Card 🙏

I also have a general question – what should be our mental model for where to declare the text copies? Should HTML templates own those text declarations and the context only supply dynamic data? If that's the case, perhaps the most of the data for ctx["help_options"] can be declared in the _help_card, just except the URLs? 🤔

Couple of small things, and expanding on some comments Julia made. Looks good otherwise!

UI looks great. Pre-approving

jlchilders11

This looks good to me, thanks for addressing my feedback!

julhoang

Hi @herzog0 ! I just added 1 suggestion for you to consider regarding centralizing the selected version logic with the header context. Otherwise everything looks great to me!

        baker.make(
            "libraries.LibraryVersion",
-            library=baker.make("libraries.Library", name=f"lib-{i}"),
+            library=baker.make("libraries.Library", name=f"lib-{i}", slug=f"lib-{i}"),


Don't bother with this. My previous deployment got lucky and ran into a slug key collision. Random suffixes are added in libraries/models.py line 359, and if the slug prefix is None (which used to be the case in this line I'm editing) we got a small chance of collision. Re-running the job fixed it, but I'm adding this just so it doesn't happen again.

Just 1 nit on the date format, otherwise it looks great – thank you for all the updates @herzog0 ! 🙌

Removes duplicate version-resolution logic; both now share a single source of truth from context_processors.selected_version().

Replaces the inline get_version_from_cookie call with context_processors.selected_version() so redirect-target resolution shares a single source of truth with the rest of the version pipeline.
