GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #9

GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #9 | UC-Wishlist

The third phase of the Coding Phase officially kicked off the previous week on July 28th, 16:00, marking the conclusion of the Mid-Evaluation period for Google Summer of Code 2017. At present, I would like to state that I progressed successfully through the mid-term evaluations. The second phase proved to be a worthy learning experience personally resulting . Meanwhile, I have maintained a detailed structure of the code for the port which can be accessed here and have also provided a comprehensive understanding of the current status of the work done in the previous blogpost.

Moving on to the present scenario, the work for the current phase would primarily be to port the ‘Add User wishlist settings’ and ‘Email wishlist’ functionalities. During the gradual completion of the ports, I would also have to deliver the related documentation alongside the designated ports. Additionally, I would have to complete the remaining portion of the ‘Search wishlist’ functionality, and the bugs associated with the port in particular.

Meanwhile, based on a comprehensive analysis for the above mentioned ports, the work done for learning the implementation of the port(s) briefly the earlier week can be stated as:

‘Email wishlist’ option as seen in D8:

Moreover, I would also focus on completing the remaining portion of porting the ‘Search wishlist’ option this week. However, wasn’t able to code much this week, as I had been preoccupied in sorting out few recurring ubuntu issues, which seem to have been fixed as of now.

Overall, the experience so far has been amazing and it’s great to advance onto the final regime 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...
