Overview

We display a graph of recent activity on tag listing pages like https://publiclab.org/tag/balloon-mapping. But we also allow "wildcard" tags like: https://publiclab.org/tag/question:* -- and these should not show a graph.

Objective

The following code (on this line: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/app/views/tag/show.html.erb#L25) is suppose to detect that and not show the graph, but is not working properly:

  <% if @tags.first %>

We sould:

1. Modify the conditional above to use the same logic as the controller (https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/app/controllers/tag_controller.rb#L28), making it: @tags.first && params[:id][-1..-1] != "*" -- which ensures that the last character is not a wildcard.
2. Add a test that checks this page and ensures a graph is not shown:
