Finally the 3 month long journey has come to an end. This was a great experience for me, learnt many new things and also got an exposure of working with Open Source. I would like to thank my mentors - Dmitrijs, Roger and Thomas for their constant support throughout this time period. They have been really very helpful throughout the project. 

Looking forward to continue contribution to Open Source    

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.
