[opensuse-project] Re: Weekly Report [OSEM][Week 6] [GSoC]Event Splash Page for Visitors

Hello Community, I happy to say that I passed my mid-term evaluations, thank you for the support and guidance so far. This week I integrated a theme inspired by onassis of http://www.blacktie.co(license http://www.blacktie.co/about-themes/). I also integrated FontAwesome(license http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/license/) and smoothscroll for better effects and animation for the splash.Although I am open any kind of addition to view level be it animations, assets, layouts.My mentor said that theme would be generally changed by the admins using OSEM, so I wrote only one css file for the time being, if time is left I can write one more theme for the splash. So I am left with three components(Press, Footer and Gallery) which I will finish and push next week and as per my proposal I would be working on Email Notifications. The email notifications needs attention because whenever a conference is updated there is no check which part is updated and the participants are not informed about the update which is very essential. This is the link to the folder Week 6, which contains some snaps with theme implemented. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8TQsfyoffN5cWNPaUU1OE1UWms&usp=sharing Happy Hacking :) Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, Final Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 4:41 PM, Gopesh Tulsyan wrote:

Hello Community, This week I completed the Location component with lodgings and added a banner component to the splash.This banner component is in place of carousel, it contains a background image, conference title, start-end dates and description.

I also added the checkboxes for each component in admin dashboard as decided previous week, so that admins/organizer now can enable the component on the splash when they think it's completed.On a different note, we locked down on the carousel to be implemented as gallery in a lightbox.This enabled me to use the carousel code that I have written for taking photos for carousel. Only thing I have to do for gallery is to make the frontend the backend code for taking photos form the admin dashboard is merged.

Next week is mid-term evaluation.Next, I will implement some styling onto the splash as decided by James.This won't take much time as I have to implement styling by looking at the themes.However, James and I decided that I will next improvise the email notifications as mentioned in my proposal.The email notifications have to implemented in a way so that the Users attending the Conference are aware about each and every update that the admins make to the conference and these mails will be fired by the admins explicitly.

Some snaps of the splash page with test data are attatched.

Hello Community, This week was less work and more review.My mentor was not well so I got my components reviewed later this week.However, the Sponsor and Social Media components are merged now.I need to little refactoring with with Location component and that will be merged too.

Well I did the carousel component but Henne said that carousel are useless so indeed we decided to have fold as in https://conference.opensuse.org/index.html#home. and we discussed here https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/pull/222.

So on discussing with James I have to redo this component again.

Next Week Plans: Right now there is no admin check on the components like whenever the data for components are entered in the admin dashboard for the conference they are rendered.So I will go ahead and create checkboxes for each and every component so that the components are only visible in the splash when the admin/organizers wants them to be displayed.

Hello Community,

This week I completed the remaining components namely Sponsors, Social Media, Location with Lodging.The sponsor component involved in building a dashboard which was is currently absent in OSEM. Similarly, lodging component involves building a lodging dashboard under Venue section.The social media involved addition of fields in conference section to take urls for the conference in different social media like Google+, Twitter and Facebook. I built these components in pieces so that my commits are atomic, following the coding style suggested by James.

These components are currently in review, once reviewed and merged I will focus on the style and theme integration.

That's all this week. Happy Hacking!

Hello Community, This week my previously built components were reviewed by the OSEM maintainer Henne and my mentors James & Cornelius. James pointed out my mistakes I had done while coding those components.I had built these segments in a way that was hard to review, as well as my code was redundant as I was doing lot of compound work. So James thought me to do cherry-pick commits(for those pieces which I require in multiple components and which is not yet merged), so that my commits are more granular and atomic.Out of the five components Sponsors is still pending to reviewed, but the rest four(Header, Program, Registration, Cfp) are merged now. I did the components again in small patches which was easily reviewed and was merged.

So I faced problems this week in understanding the procedure to code in a way that is accepted.My logic was clear, but I was not following the norms due to which I had to redo my work. I am still working on the coding style suggested by James.

Since the larger chunks are over I plan to complete the remaining five segments the upcoming week, so the structure of the splash page with all the data is in place.And to test the splash page with test data so that it doesn't break in any possible case.

That's all this week, my progress on OSEM can be found in https://github.com/gopesht/osem .Here's the link to drive folder

Hello Community, This week I had built three components namely Program component, Call for Papers component and Registration component for the splash page. I had built these components as a whole, both the frontend and backend.Migrations for the missing attributes are done for the proper display of these components.These components are designed with conditional rendering of attributes so that the splash doesn't break if one or more attributes are blank.

What I intentded to do this week according to my proposal -> Create models and associations, and decide what all can be given to the admin to customize the splash page apart from the things discussed above.Test with one sample conference how things are working.

So the initial base is setup, the features(components are already decided and it in the trello board as told by my mentor james).The backend modeling are being done simultaneously as I will build these components.

Though I had this components, but they are still in review. I will make suggested changes as will be told by my mentors James & Cornelius. Also as James suggested to built the structure of the components with plain and simple layout, rather than focussing on styling and looks. As when the data will be in place with the desired components, then I will intregrate some themes to beautify the splash page.

What I intent to do next week-> Currently, the sponsor dashboard is missing, and we require the sponsor component for the splash.So I will first built the sponsor dashboard with the modeling suggested by James.After that I will go ahead and build the remaining components in the trello board.

Happy Hacking!
