Unexpected url from Provider link in Single result view

Open fcoveram opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Description

Clicking the provider link on the audio metadata information takes you to the track page on the provider rather than the provider's main page. Reported by @sarayourfriend

Reproduction

  1. Search anything.
  2. Open one result to see the single result view.
  3. Click on the provider's name in the Audio information area.
  4. It opens the audio link instead of the source site's homepage.

Resolution

This made sense to me in the audio view because the main button was for downloads, there wasn't a "Go to the audio's website" button/link but also it's the same behavior in the image view. Personally, I think is fine this way but I understand there can create confusion. What do you think @panchovm?

As more I think of this, I believe we need to switch to "Go to the content site" button for all content. This because we will start integrating the search engine in core, and because it solves the friction we might have with providers on redirecting user traffic.
