GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #5 | Drupal





The second phase of the Coding Phase officially kicked off the previous week on June 30th, 16:00, marking the conclusion of the First Evaluation period for Google Summer of Code 2017. On the personal front, I would like to state that I progressed successfully through the evaluations by completing the two designated ports for my project ‘Porting UC Wish list to Drupal 8’, under the able guidance of my mentor, Naveen Valecha. I have also maintained a detailed info for the work done as part of the first phase evaluations in a previous blogpost.

The previous week, based on the mentor’s review of the earlier ports done, I had also fixed the coding standards and made some changes to the code, as suggested by him. Meanwhile, based on a comprehensive analysis for the above mentioned ports, the work done briefly the earlier week can be stated as:

'View wishlist' option visuals in D8:



'Email wishlist' option visuals:



As of now, I’ve completed a significant portion of porting the the first functionality, i.e., ‘Viewing/Updating user wish list’. However, I would have to integrate the ‘Update’ functionality to modify any specific wish list, so that on accessing the ‘Wish list’ link the user wish list is displayed with the added products along with the ‘Update’ option as mentioned above. Also, the complete code for the current status of the project 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 | Drupal

This year I had the utmost opportunity of getting selected for the prestigious Google Summer of Code 2017, as a part of Drupal, the open source organisation to which I contribute. Drupal, is a free and open source content-management framework written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License, provides a back-end framework for at least 2.2% of all Web sites worldwide – ranging from personal blogs to corporate, political, and government sites. Systems also use Drupal for knowledge management and for business collaboration.

The program is open to university students aged 18 or over. Students contact the mentor organization

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

Google Summer of Code 2017 has entered yet another week and with the conclusion of week 2 of the Coding Phase, things in general have become much more elaborative, as well as exciting ! The previous week was significantly noteworthy in terms of the intricacies and topics dealt with for the  objectives undertaken for the first phase. I was also able to manage time better to focus more towards my project, and the implementation in particular. In the previous blogpost , I had mentioned about the port objectives decided with regard to the first phase of the coding regime. As planned earlier, my main intent for the week was to port the functionality ‘Add administrator wish list settings’. The port of this sub-module encapsulated the completion of the following objectives: Configuring the wish list settings by administrator: This feature allows the administrator to implement crucial settings related to any wish list for authenticated users.  Man
