GSoC Update: August 10

Week 12:

This week I mainly focussed on getting the pending crs committed and finalized.

Finalized and committed stuff

Improved UI of Blog Items in all the themes:

• Modernized Theme: codereview and commit to my repo
• Foobar Theme: codereview and commit to my repo. Also added itemviews such as Add quicklink, modify etc in blog view by defining itemviews.
• Basic Theme: codereview and commit to my repo.

Moved comments to right and meta-data information to the left in ticket show/modify view and also removed the dependency on item_name in this template, used summary/fqname instead of fqname. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Added ticket-create button and blog-entry-create button in +tickets view and blog view respectively in all the themes with a TODO of creating tickets without any initial fqname. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Now shortened fqname is shown in trail and also used fqname instead of item_name in location_breadcrumbs in foobar theme. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Also did the same thing for basic theme. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Fixed #326 - Removed duplicate "Add comment" and "message", just used "Add comment". Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Now only tags specific to ticket items are shown in +tickets view and ticket show/modify view. For this I added a function that takes ITEMTYPE as argument and returns the tags associated with items of such itemtype. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

For the coming week my main focus would be to check for some more bugs and also try to solve them, improve documentation and some UI changes.

GSoC Update: August 1 2014

Week 10 & 11

Worked on trail for tickets/nameless items. Now shortened fqname is shown in trail instead of full fqname. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Changed the order of items in blog edit meta data view as pointed by Thomas, kept similar fields together and important fields on the top. Also removed the unnecessary show/modify options from Global Index. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Worked on Global History, now fqname is summary/shortened fqname is shown in this view. Also added link to +tickets view in navbar. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Added ticket-create button and blog-entry-create button in +tickets view and blog view respectively with a TODO of adding functionality of creating these items without any initial fqname/name. Here is the codereview. I am yet to commit this to my repo.

Removed validation errors from +tickets view and ticket show/modify view.

• +tickets view: codereview and commit. I have reverted this commit as this has changes in css files whose names have been changed in the pull of Ajitesh(:randomax) so I will commit this again after the merge of his pull request as then there won't be any merge conflict.
• ticket show/modify view: codereview and commit

Shown only ticket specific tags in +tickets view and ticket show/modify view but used very basic query method, looking for some faster way. Here is the codereview

Moved meta-data to right and comments to left in ticket show/modify view. Here is the codereview.
Screenshot

Improved UI of blog items in basic and modernized theme and also removed the dependency on item_name from this view, used fqname instead of item_name.

• Basic theme: codereview
• Modernized theme: codereview

Also fixed traceback that comes on accessing +admin/itemsize. This was because of tickets, so I used fqname instead of item_name. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

So now solved both #1 and #2 of my repo. 

GSoC Update: July 18 2014

Last week's summary:

Added css for +tickets view for modernized and foobar theme.
For modernized theme: codereview and commit to my repo.
Here is the screenshot

For foobar theme: codereview and commit to my repo.
Here is the screenshot

Added some more meta-data information(specific to blog items such as ptime, suppertags) to be displayed in modify view of blog items. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Also finalized the solution of #433 - Added User Actions, Item Actions bar, Show, History, Modify and other important links in view template of nameless items in basic theme. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Also made summary field in blog entries as necessary field so that only summary is shown on the blog entry view instead of name. Here is the codereview

Now I am working on Improving UI of blog items in all the themes.

GSoC Update: July 9 2014

Last week's summary:

Added 'Subscribe' and 'Add quicklink' option in ticket's modify template. Now users can subscribe to ticket items and also quicklink them in basic theme. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Made nameless items downloadable. Previously there user couldn't download nameless items as the filename that was used for downloading used name of the item which was raising error in case of nameless items so I removed this dependency on name and defined separate function for getting filename (get_download_file_name). This returns the name of the item if there is some name else return field-value as download file name. Here is the codereview and commit to my repo.

Also made blog items update work and add useful links of modify, subscribe, modify meta etc on blog page. Here is the codereview for my changes. One TODO is to make blog-posts nameless which would be done once we get a way to create items without any initial fqname.

Fixed #433 - Now User Actions, Item Actions, Show, History, Modify etc are also displayed in the view of nameless items in basic theme. Here is the codereview for my changes . I am yet to commit it to my repo.

Also tried to write tests for +tickets view but couldn't complete it as we need pytest latest version(2.5.2) but currently it is not compatible with moin, so I will come to it later. Here is the codereview for the above.

GSoC Update: June 30 2014

Since last 10-12 days I have been working on adding some more features to +tickets view and also improve the UI of ticket items.

Features Added to +tickets view:

• Added XStatic-JQuery.TableSorter 2.14.5.1 plugin. Now sorting can be done according to columns of table showing the list of tickets. Also added generic css for class table-sorter-header so that if this plugin is used somewhere else then there is no need to define separate css for it.
• Now user can filter tickets according to the tags. User can filter tickets by selecting multiple tags.
• Now sorting can also be done on the basis of modified time (Recently modified and least recently modified)

UI of ticket items: As decided in the plan in order to improve UI of ticket items I defined css for radio-buttons, select-lists, text-inputs and submit buttons. I defined the css in a way that it is compatible with all the themes. Here is the screenshot

Also added tag suggestions in ticket submit and modify view.

Also I passed the Mid-Term Evaluation that took place last week. I would like to thank my project mentors - dimazest, Thomas Waldmann and RogerHaase for their constant support.

GSoC Update: Finalized /+tickets view with some more features

This week I worked on adding more features to the basic /+tickets view that was made last week.
Following are the features that are in this view

•  Now there is a search bar in this view by which user can search for text in comments, summary, itemid and tags. 
• There is also a filter option by which user can filter the results by priority, effort, severity and difficulty. User can click on any td element and the table gets filtered according to the value in that column. 
• I have also added buttons for viewing only Open, Closed or All tickets. by default only Open Tickets are being shown. 

Here is the screenshot of +tickets view.

Here is the codereview and commit for my changes.

Now I need to write tests for this view.
