| |
| − | Worked on '''export feature''', almost done. Used '''json_encode()''' to export the data by storing it in an array. Now working on passing multiple attributes in '''multidimensional array'''.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Progress''': Been able to write the data from the backend(tables) in '''.json''' file. I passed an array to json_encode(), whose result I wrote in a file. The contents written in the file are absolutely what they should be.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Problem''': When I try to prompt the user to download the same file, some futile/useless data seems to get appended at the end of the file.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Did some manipulations with the '''LocalSettings.php''' like changing the logo, skin, enabling the image uploads and so on.

| |
| − | For exporting the data in json, found and implemented another '''solution''' to store the material names and the values of different traits in two '''separate arrays.'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Used '''array_combine()''' to make an '''associative array''' of material name and value as '''key : value''' pair.
| |

| |
| − | '''''30th July(Wednesday)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Made json export work but there are some glitches like the file in which the json material is written is perfect but the exported file from web interface contains some needless data appended at the end.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''''31th July(Thursday)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Removed the problem of '''futile data''' getting appended in '''.json file'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Added a '''new file''' which has the code to '''export''' the data in JSON format.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Added '''option''' to select any trait which is to be exported by storing it in '''variables.'''

| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Facing a bit of challenge to set the privilege for approval. Because unlike '''Wiki''' pages, '''Special''' pages cannot be edited.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Found a minor glitch in export. The '''indices''' of the '''two arrays''' don't match and making the json more readable by replacing the "value" attribute with trait name.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I have updated the '''update page''' which now allows to update all the values of a particular material '''in one go''', which wasn't possible earlier.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I have also added the facility to the user to '''add''' only '''selective''' traits at a time in case he does not know all the values at present.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Apart from '''normal users''', a separate '''call to action button''' is added for '''admins''' to delete materials and traits and approve the values added by users.
| |
| − |
