GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #4

GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #4 | Drupal

The fourth week of Google Summer of Code 2017 has come to a close, bringing forth the onset of the First Evaluation Period. The conceptualization developed during the first phase of coding have been of immense help and has provided notable assistance for the completion of the assigned ports.

As I had stated in the previous blog posts, this month I had the objective of completing the following ports concerning the first phase of the coding regime:

Admin wish list settings
Add to wishlist

With the conclusion of week 4, I have completed the port of the administrator wish list settings as well as the ‘Add to wishlist’ feature as part of the second port.

Also for the ‘Add to Wishlist’ functionality to work successfully, my next objective would be to add the functionality to view/access the user wish list, on using the button. This functionality would further be succeeded by the option to update the specific wish list, by displaying the required button below the wish list.

Meanwhile, I have also figured out some crucial concepts regarding the subsequent ports and hope to complete the next earmarked ports before schedule for the second phase of the coding period. The code for the present status of the module can be found here.

Winding up, these were the objectives and concepts learned during the third week of coding phase in GSoC’17. Hope to learn many more new concepts in the coming weeks for the successful completion of the port.

Cheers!

GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #11 | Uc wishlist

Another week has reached its aftermath and the third phase of the coding regime is about to conclude with the onset of the Final Evaluations for Google Summer of Code 2017. The time spent so far during the previous months have been a great learning experience with Drupal, with the timely help provided for the project by my mentor Naveen Valecha . Coming to the present scenario, the majority of the port concerning the Uc Wishlist has been completed, save for some technical fixes and implementation requirements regarding the port of the final sub-module ‘Add user wish list settings’. Other than that, I would put up the alpha release of the module as soon as the current code gets reviewed. Additionally, I would propose few functional tests as per instructions from the mentor and reviews from the developers. Moreover, my code for the previous ports have been committed to the Drupal Core by my mentor and the current status of the code could be found here . S
