GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #11

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.

So, the work done the previous week can be stated as follows:

Work to be done next week:

Complete the remaining portion of the final port ‘Add user wish list settings’ through FAPI and Field API. Provide related plugins for encapsulating hook_search_info, hook_search_execute and hook_block_info.

Overall, the experience so far has been amazing and it’s great to advance onto the final evaluation of GSoC’17. Winding up, these were the objectives and concepts learned during the eighth 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 #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...

GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #7 | UC Wishlist

With the last week of the second phase of the Google Summer of Code 2017 underway, the seventh week has come to a close. The previous week saw the completion of the third port for the second regime, i.e., porting ‘View/Update wishlist’ . The earlier week I had summarised the implementation for the third port, i.e, porting ‘View/Update wishlist’ functionality. So, the work done the previous week for the implementation of the mentioned third port can be summarised below: The first thing I did was to define an interface my UcWishlist entity type class can implement and that extends the default ContentEntityInterface alongwith EntityOwnerInterface . So inside of the module's src/Entity folder, create a file called UcWishlistInterface.php . Next, I focused on the crux of defining my own Content Entity class and created a folder inside the src/ directory called Entity , and within it, a file called UcWishlist.php . What we have here is a...

Community Bonding with Drupal | GSoC 2017

As mentioned previously, this year I got selected for GSoC under Drupal for the project ‘Porting UC wish list to Drupal 8’ . This blogpost would concisely pivot around the Community Bonding period with Drupal for GSoC’17, thereby focusing on it’s importance and objectives achieved during this phase. This year, the accepted GSoC proposals/projects were announced on April 3, 21:00 IST. The selected students are entitled to participate in the Community Bonding period till May 29th. The Community Bonding period, essentially, is the time for the selected students to socially engage with the fellow developers & learn extensively about their organisation’s functionalities, in other words, have a comprehensive understanding of an organisation’s codebase, codes of conduct, releases etc, rather than jumping straight into coding. Moreover, during this term students have the opportunity of interacting with their respective mentors, plan correspondingly about their proj...
