Explore projects
Last updated
Explore is the screen for finding CMS projects and Visualizer projects whose visibility is “Public”. All users can use it, whether or not they are logged in to Re:Earth.
Explore is in the header of Home.
Explore has a separate project list for Re:Earth CMS and for Re:Earth Visualizer.
Listed projects
Section titled “Listed projects”Only projects whose visibility is “Public” are listed in Explore. Projects whose visibility is “Private” are not shown in Explore, even to members of the workspace they belong to.
For changing visibility, see Project.
Searching by name
Section titled “Searching by name”A search shows the projects in the current list whose names contain the text entered in the search box. The list updates when you stop typing.
The conditions for a search are as follows.
- Uppercase and lowercase are not distinguished.
- Leading and trailing spaces in the text are ignored.
- Symbols are matched as literal characters.
- Clearing the search box removes the filter by search text.
Filtering by topic
Section titled “Filtering by topic”Topics are keywords set on a project. For setting topics, see Project.
When you filter by topic, only projects that have all the selected topics are shown in the list.
You can filter by topic and use Search by names at the same time. In that case, projects that match both the search text and the topics are shown.
Switching lists removes the search text and the topic filter.
There are two ways to filter by topic: selecting a tag below the search box, or specifying topics in Topic on the Filters panel.
Tags below the search box
Section titled “Tags below the search box”Initially, the tags below the search box are the top 10 topics set most often on the projects in the current list. When you select a tag, a filter by that one topic is applied.
While a filter is applied, the tags show the applied topics. When you apply multiple topics on the Filters panel, tags for all of them are shown. Up to 10 are shown. Topics that are not shown as tags are still used to filter the list.
When you remove an applied topic, only that topic is removed from the filter. When all applied topics are removed, the tags return to their initial state.
Filters
Section titled “Filters”In Topic on the Filters panel, you can specify multiple topics. The suggestions are determined by the following conditions.
- Suggestions are shown only when there is text in the input field.
- Among the topics used by the projects in the current list, those whose names start with the entered text become suggestions.
- There are up to 100 suggestions.
- Topics that are selected or applied are not shown as suggestions.
The results of Apply and Clear on the panel are as follows.
- Apply: a filter by all the topics selected on the panel is applied. When 0 topics are selected, the topic filter is removed.
- Clear: the selections on the panel and all applied filters are removed. The list is updated at that point.
Sorting
Section titled “Sorting”The list is sorted by Most Starred (most stars first) or Latest Updated (most recently updated first). Until you choose a sort order, the list is sorted by Most Starred.
