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!
