BUG: Hidden Favorited Content Disappears Without Notice in Favorites Sidebar

[chrissantillan]

Describe the bug

When content (e.g., a library) that has been favorited by a resident is hidden by an administrator, it disappears from the Resident Favorites sidebar and the Favorites tab on the Trending Content page without providing any notice to the Resident.

To Reproduce

1. Log in to UnlockEd as a Resident and favorite a piece of content (e.g., a library such as Lua.org).
2. Log in as a SuperAdmin and hide the favorited content (e.g., hide Lua.org).
3. Log back in as the Resident and navigate to:
   • The Favorites sidebar on the Trending Content page.
   • The Favorites tab on the Knowledge Center page.
4. Observe that the hidden content has disappeared without any notification.

Expected behavior

• Hidden favorited content should not disappear silently.
• Instead:
  • The Favorites sidebar and Favorites tab should display the hidden content in a disabled state.
  • Provide a visual indicator (e.g., grayed-out item with "Hidden" label) to inform the Resident that the content has been hidden by an administrator.
  • Optionally, include a refresh icon to allow Residents to manually remove hidden content from their favorites if desired.

Proposed Solution

• Disable the button for hidden favorited content in both the Favorites sidebar and the Favorites tab.
• Add a refresh icon somewhere in the interface to allow Residents to manually remove hidden favorited content.
• Clearly label hidden content with a "Hidden" status.

Additional context

• This issue can confuse Residents by silently removing their favorited content, leading to frustration and uncertainty.
• Ensure consistency across both the Favorites sidebar and Favorites tab in handling hidden content.
• Hidden content should remain visible but disabled, preserving the user's favorites while providing clear feedback on why the content is no longer accessible.
