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 | 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 Google Summer of Code, often abbreviated to GSoC, is an international annual program, first held from May to August 2005, in which Google awards stipends, which depends on place of university of the student, to all students who successfully complete a requested free and open-source software coding project during the summer. The program is open to university students aged 18 or over. Students contact the mentor organization...

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...

GSoC’17 Coding period | Week #1 | Drupal

The Coding phase of Google Summer of Code 2017 kicked off the previous week on May 30th, 16:00 UTC, marking the conclusion of the one-month long Community Bonding period. As stated earlier in my previous post , the Community Bonding term proffered the selected students an opportunity to build a rapport with their community, helping them in interacting with the respective mentors and fellow developers. Presently, I am working on porting the UC Wish list module to Drupal 8, under the guidance of Naveen Valecha , which would specifically allow customers to create and administer personalized wish lists of products in their Ubercart store, thereby enabling potential customers to get a better understanding by referring to those wishlists. During the community bonding phase, I had been asked to create a Plan issue for tracking the status of the port and sub-issues of the project goals, by my mentor. As per the implementation, for the first phase/month of the coding pe...
