Move "search by topic" to top of page and remove sidebar on /questions

[jywarren]

(via @ebarry) This is a two-part issue -- on http://publiclab.org/questions, we have a sidebar area called Filter questions by topic which we'd like to move to a 2-column area in the main column, next to the "Ask a question" area.

The code for the form to be moved is here:

plots2/app/views/sidebar/_user.html.erb

Lines 9 to 11 in d078466

	<% if params[:controller] == 'questions' %>
	<%= render partial: 'tag/sorting' %>
	<% end %>

We can move the form into a col-md-6 div using Bootstrap's grid system: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#grid-options -- so,

---

Then we'd like to delete the sidebar entirely, by deleting this line:

plots2/app/views/questions/index.html.erb

Line 1 in d078466

<%= render :partial => "sidebar/user" %>

We should then change the main area to be full-with, so 9 becomes 12 on this line:

plots2/app/views/questions/index.html.erb

Line 3 in d078466

<div class="col-md-9">

The new side-by-side forms could use some text tweaking too:

• The "filter" one we're moving could be titled: View questions by topic, with placeholder input text type your topic and button text Search
• The original area could become Ask a question here with placeholder text type your question and button text Continue

The new two-column area may need some design tweaking to get it right, so if you're able to take on this issue, please post a screenshot with your pull request! Thank you!
