MISC: Add Redirect Link to Verification Email for Login Pop-ups Not Already Covered in #2032

As we continue to develop and improve the Citizen OS platform, it's essential to address the login verification process for users. In this issue, we'll focus on adding a redirect link to the verification email for login pop-ups that are not already covered in issue #2032. This will ensure a seamless user experience and provide a more efficient way for users to access the platform.

The Citizen OS platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, allowing citizens to participate in the democratic process. However, the current login verification process can be frustrating for users, especially when they're redirected to a generic login page. To address this issue, we'll be implementing a redirect link to the verification email for login pop-ups that appear in specific areas of the platform.

To clarify, this issue will focus on fixing the parts relevant to the Story of Estonia project only. We'll create a second issue to address the same problem for other use cases. The following login pop-ups will be covered in this issue:

Add your idea: When users click the "Add your idea" button, they'll be prompted to log in. If they choose to log in using an email address that requires verification, they'll be redirected to a verification email with a link to complete the login process.
Like idea: When users click the "Like idea" button, they'll be prompted to log in. If they choose to log in using an email address that requires verification, they'll be redirected to a verification email with a link to complete the login process.
Join group: When users click the "Join group" button, they'll be prompted to log in. If they choose to log in using an email address that requires verification, they'll be redirected to a verification email with a link to complete the login process.
Join topic: When users click the "Join topic" button, they'll be prompted to log in. If they choose to log in using an email address that requires verification, they'll be redirected to a verification email with a link to complete the login process.

This issue will cover all login methods that require email verification, except for Google login and Facebook login. The user should be redirected back to the original page where the login pop-up appeared, with the platform language set to the language they were using when they clicked the login button.

To implement this feature, we'll need to:

Add a redirect link to the verification email: When a user chooses to log in using an email address that requires verification, we'll add a redirect link to the verification email. This link will direct the user back to the original page where the login pop-up appeared.
Set the platform language: We'll need to set the platform language to the language the user was using when they clicked the login button.
Test the feature: We'll need to test the feature to ensure it works as expected and that the user is redirected back to the original page.

To implement this feature, we'll need to make the following changes:

Update the login pop-up code: We'll need to update the code for the login pop-up to include the redirect link to the verification email.
Update the verification email code: We'll need to update the code for the verification email to include the redirect link to the original page.
Update the platform language code: We'll need to update the code to set the platform language to the language the user was using when they clicked the login button.

To ensure the feature works as expected, we'll need to test it thoroughly. We'll need to test the following scenarios:

User logs in using an email address that requires verification: We'll need to test that the user is redirected back to the original page with the platform language set to the language they were using when they clicked the login button.
User logs in using a Google or Facebook account: We'll need to test that the user is not redirected back to the original page and that the platform language is not set to the language they were using when they clicked the login button.

In conclusion, adding a redirect link to the verification email for login pop-ups not already covered in #2032 will improve the user experience and provide a more efficient way for users to access the platform. We'll need to update the login pop-up code, verification email code, and platform language code to implement this feature. We'll also need to test the feature thoroughly to ensure it works as expected.
