Hello Community, This week I completed the deleted user feature and added some docs for delated jobs and wrote a scripts to start and stop delayed jobs worker on deployments. Well this is the final weekly report for the GSoC work that I have done so far. For the first part I implemented the splash page as proposed in my project for OSEM application.And I am happy to see that is already being used by ownCloud for their conference and soon it will be used by openSUSE Asia Summit. For the second part I implemented email notifications and markdown for all description fields, took up GitHub issues solved bugs, changed design of the splash as said by other community members. Well I guess still the work is not over, I don't want it to get over and take up new things.I want to keep contributing as I am already a part of this awesome community.The work will go on, and we as team will make this application even popular so that it is used by more number of people for their conferences. Of all thanks to my mentor James Mason and Cornelius Schumacher for their constant support and help.I would also like to thank Henne , Artem, Christian, Stella for correcting me whenever I was wrong. Thank you it has been a great experience so far, I want to keep up this spirit and continue coding for this application. Happy Hacking!! :) Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, Final Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur On Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 1:04 AM, Gopesh Tulsyan wrote:

Hello Community, This week I fixed some issues that were pending with the splash like the splash layout bug for consistency with the OSEM app, the fix for the routing to the home page if the conference is not made public when the splash url is explicitly accessed instead of giving 404 error.Well the email settings merge is still pending as James wanted me to optimize a rails ORM query.On a different note I started user deletion afresh in here https://github.com/gopesht/osem/compare/user_deletion .

Well I am planning to add some documentation about my work for splash additions to OSEM next week. Also make some progress with user deletion and implement the keynote speakers feature.

Hello Community, This week as I completed the email notifications, only the last one is left that is, send emails on price of ticket change to all participants.The github issue where the registration date update mail should only go to people who are subscribed and not registered is closed now.I did some refactoring with the routes to subscribe/unsubscribe for email notifications as suggested by James, still in pipeline.I completed github issues for splash layout (https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/pull/412) and fixed the template error which was throwing on creating a new user from the admin interface, https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues/380 .

Next Week, I plan to implement delete user feature as decided by Henne, as discussed in https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues/383 . I plan to implement the keynote speakers, preview feature of the splash for admins after filling up components, fix https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues/309 .Also redesign the splash settings if possible in the admin interface to make it look like a APP rather than a CMS as suggested by Henne.

Hello Community, This week I finished Email Notifications with all refactoring and suggestions by Henne and other members and by mentor James.I finished the first four notifications with delayed_jobs integration.I also added a subscribe button in the button list for conference partial in the home page for logged in users.The users now can subscribe/unsubscribe from notifications even if they register or submit a proposal.I thoroughly tested the subscribe feature in combination with registration.

I also did some code clean-up to DRY things in email_settings.rb model.One thing that is left is to add markdown to the email templates, that I will do and complete the notifications with the last one that is still remaining.

The commit are still in review https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/pulls/gopesht .Most probably, they will be pushed by start of next week, then I will take up Github issues that are referenced for Splash Page and other parts of OSEM.

Well this bit for this week. Happy Hacking :)

Hello Community, Well, this week was really busy for me, I had to go college twice for my registration purposes and room allotment and it consumed 2 working days of the week.Still James co-operated with me and I have pushed the remaining notifications, they are currently in review.I am just left with one more notification from the list that I mentioned last weekend.Delayed job integration is still pending.

On a different note, I have some github issues pending for the splash and work that I have done which was found as bugs.So I wish to spent the next week completing the github issues, integrate delayed jobs or any background queuing gem for sending emails and complete the notifications.

As per my proposal, I discussed with James, we are not using redis in the production and so we will not intrgrate any in-house notification system for OSEM. Rather, I will have to discuss other feature that I can implement in time and would also write some documentation of using the splash.

That's all this week!! Happy Hacking :) Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, Final Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur

Hello Community, This week I started with email notifications. James said the listed 5 notifications * Notify all participants when Conference dates/Registration dates are updated.Highlight dates. * Notify all participants when venue is changed.Highlight address and Venue name. * Notify all participants when a supporter level added.Also to notify, when the price of the supporter level in changed. * Notify all participants when Call for papers dates are added/updated. * Notify all participants when the schedule is made public.

are good to go.So I completed the first and the second, both are in pipeline and is not merged yet.The other thing I thought while implementing is that it takes lot of time to send email to participants in the middle of updating the conference for the first (say).So sending emails while updating data is a really bad idea, so I thought of putting these in the background jobs, well in layman terms Queue them to get processed later so that the UX is not hampered.

I thought of using https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job . But using this didn't seem to worked well.The emails are getting delivered without using the gem and on using it is throwing errors. So major time went on fixing this and still I am not been to fix this issue.I worked with James and it figured out that for new emails I should first write tests and then reproduce the error that I got with delated_jobs on specs.

So probably, I try to finish email notifications with the gem.Well, that's all this week.

Happy Hacking!!! :) Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, Final Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur

Hello Community, This week I finished the remaining components: Gallery and Footer and added Markdown for description fields that are rendered in the splash.The gallery is designed such that the splash page load is not affected.When the user clicks the "Gallery" button for the first time, the photos are loaded in a modal with the carousel via AJAX.After that for preceding clicks only the modal is invoked, until the page is refreshed. I did this by keeping a countdown variable in Javascript.

For the footer I just made a up-arrow button which is displayed when the user scrolls down length of 100px.On clicking the button the user is taken to the topmost component, i,e the banner via smoothscroll.So the navigation and UX is built properly by using animation, tabs on the header and a button at the footer.

I implemented markdown for only description fields that are rendered directly on to the splash.I did this using redcarpet gem and also added bootstrap-markdown(toopay) editor for description fields so that easily markdown tags are added by click without any hassle.

Next week, I will start with email notifications.I have listed some notifications on my Trello board as suggested by James, to keep track of things.I still has to discuss what notifications are relevant to be sent.

Well thats it!! for this week. Happy Hacking!! Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, Final Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur
