“Join our community” button does not perform any action

[mohammadanas51]

The “Join our community” call-to-action button doesn’t redirect users to any community platform.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit the homepage.
2. Scroll down to the "Our Community" section
3. Click on the "Join Our Community" button

Expected Behavior:
Redirects to a Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp community page.

Actual Behavior:
Nothing happens on click.

Suggestion:
Add a valid redirect URL.

Would like to work on this:
Yes, I’d like to take care of this.

@mohammadanas51, how do you think this button should function? Should it be externally linked to our Slack or a form that collects members' data and then mails it with a link to Slack?

@Noimot, can you share the user flow from your perspective?

@mohammadanas51 Thanks for showing in working on the issue.

The button should be linked to our Slack Channel

I can this has a PR open already: #130
@mohammadanas51 or did you mean something else?

[mohammadanas51]

@jumalaw98

After going through PR #130, Issue #54, and Issue #126, I noticed that the core issue still exists on the live site.

Since I’ve been assigned this issue, I’d love to work on a proper fix based on the current dev branch. However, I have my college practical exams this week (unfortunately 😅), so I might not be able to submit a PR immediately.

Just wanted to give a quick heads-up so expectations are clear. I’ll start working on this as soon as my schedule clears up. Thanks for understanding!

[jumalaw98]

@mohammadanas51, I assume it still exists on live site because the PR hasn't been merged yet. On your issue, you have to embed the button with the slack link. Which the same issue has been described on the PR image attached, (#130)

Or just to know if It's something new/feature you're adding on the button.

It will be repetitive task/issue

• Issue Add Slack Link to "Join Our Community" Button #126 #130 Add Slack Link to "Join Our Community" Button #126 (Add Slack Link to "Join Our Community" Button #126 #130)
• PR Add Slack Link to "Join Our Community" Button #54 Add Slack Link to "Join Our Community" Button #54

@jumalaw98 No, I am not adding any new feature on this button

On a side note - I would like you to take a look at other issues I created they are #147 , #148 and #150
I would love to contribute if you assign those issues to me

Hi @MutiatBash @Noimot,
I’m not sure why the issues I worked on haven’t been merged yet, as the effects aren’t reflecting. I completed tasks like the Join Our Community, Socials, Auth, and several others, all of which were pushed to the dev branch as instructed but haven’t been merged into main.

I also noticed that one of the issues I had already worked on was raised again, which feels a bit unfair. Just wanted to clarify and understand what might be going on.

Thanks!

@GifftyCode
Thanks for sharing this — I totally understand where you're coming from.

I created the issue because I noticed the problem is still live on the website and wanted to help solve it. I wasn’t aware the fix was already pushed to dev, and since it's not yet merged to main, I assumed it hadn’t been addressed yet.

Totally open to stepping back or collaborating if needed. Just here to contribute and make the site better 🙌

Also, I hope the maintainer can help clarify how we’re handling work that's done but still unmerged — would be great to avoid duplicate efforts in the future.
