| − | '''June 3'''
| |
| − | * Asked for help regarding model viewing, especially colors in object model.
| |
| − | * Might take some time to respond.
| |
| − | * '''Implemented feedback system''' via formspree.io. Unable to add notification for feedback completion.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 4'''
| |
| − | * Mainly tech fest work
| |
| − | * Added link to edit model in the my-models page
| |
| − | * tried adding the delete button for a model. I think code is right, why is it not working is the issue. confused :/
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 5'''
| |
| − | * Studying code base, g-obj conversion and other technical stuff
| |
| − | * Read. Read. Read. The resources provided by Inder and other resources as well.
| |
| − | * Implemented deleting model. Unable to delete thumbnail associated with it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 6'''
| |
| − | * Completed delete model. Thumbnail not getting deleted.
| |
| − | * Need to understand thumbnail-model architecture.
| |
| − | * More searching about g-obj and mged for capturing color attributes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 7'''
| |
| − | * Implemented delete, update info for OGV models. Some finishing required in edit-form required.
| |
| − | * No reply on mailing list regarding colors in models.
| |
| − | * Decided to drop the idea of having a separate modal for editing information. User will land up on the description page <br /> and change things there itself.
| |
| − | * Routing changed. Now user won't be able to tamper or see the edit description page of other user's models. <br />(let's say by copy pasting the URL). Code is safe from hackers :D :D.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''WEEK SUMMARY'''
| |
| − | * user's can change view to wire-frame mode.
| |
| − | * user's can add axes/grids to model for better idea of directions.
| |
| − | ^ Both need some back-end finishing.
| |
| − | * user's can provide feedback about the website to a developer, by filling up a form whose details will be forwarded to developer's email.
| |
| − | * user's can now delete their uploaded models (also the thumbnails associated with it)
| |
| − | * user's can update information about their uploaded models i.e. name, description and thumbnail.
| |
| − | * user's cannot see/tamper with information of other user's models. Earlier if you had access to someone's model's description form's link, <br /> that user could create problems (not actually change) in the information of that particular model.
| |
| − | New routing set takes care of this, and if the model does not belongs to the logged in user, he is redirected to the upload page, <br /> even if he pastes the link to the description form of other's model.

| |
| − | =='''Week 3'''==
| |
| − | '''June 8 - 9'''
| |
| − | * Sorted things about feedback front-end.
| |
| − | * Working on adding dat.GUI features in model_viewer. Not working due to some reason.
| |
| − | * dat.GUI works now fine in the meteor app. Adding functions related to OBJMaterial. Model Viewer almost complete.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 10'''
| |
| − | * Completed adding functions in dat.GUI. Might need to add more, but it has what a basic viewer needs.
| |
| − | * Functions consisting of wireframe, wireframe+model, set transparency, opacity, ambient color, shininess etc.
| |
| − | * Unable to customize background color through dat.GUI.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 11'''
| |
| − | * Nothing much. unwell
| |
| − | * Tried categorizing models into categories.
| |
| − | * Worked fine when one model has only one category, but that should not be it. A model can have more than one category.
| |
| − | * There can be 2 ways of going through the problem. Either make a new collection, or make a field named <br />"category" in the model document itself, among which the latter looks more promising and efficient.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 12 - June 13'''
| |
| − | * Unwell
| |
| − | * Slept a lot
| |
| − | * Some GUI for model_meta form for category checkboxes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 14'''
| |
| − | * Added a field for category in modelFiles.
| |
| − | * "categories" is a field in model Files which is an array that stores categories in which the model belongs to.
| |
| − | * The categories that go in the model files is chosen by the user in the model_meta form.
| |
| − | * There are 12 pre-defined categories (check-boxes). The user selects the category to which the model belongs to (can be more than one).
| |
| − | * Merged with edit-info. Need to work on certain validations (another 2 hour job).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =='''Week 4'''==
| |
| − | '''June 15 - 16'''
| |
| − | * Tech festival work. Related to organizing events
| |
| − | * Finished with edit info implementation. Everything works fine now in case of updating <br />model details: name, description, thumbnail and category.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 17 - June 18'''
| |
| − | * Nothing much.
| |
| − | * Looked for ways to tag models. Added and tries using a bootstrap package for the same. Might need some work.
| |
| − | * Waiting to get the previous work merged in the GSOC'15 branch of BRLCAD (both back-end and front-end).
| |
| − | * Searched about followers/following architecture in mongodb. Got a pretty good idea [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4042917/twitter-like-app-using-mongodb '''here''']. For this to work, every user should have a profile page as well.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 19 -June 20'''
| |
| − | * Made working profile pages, with routes for users. Basic Info about any user can be seen on the profile page.
| |
| − | * Profile pages accessible at /profile/:_id
| |
| − | * Will surely take time to complete. Should be complete by midterm evaluation.

| |
| − | * Made a few changes to the previous profile page work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 25'''
| |
| − | * Added routes to profile page on model feed. Linking with profile pages of user.
| |
| − | * Appending id to follower/following array in user document successful. Working Following button.
| |
| − | * Feed will show models of users who are being followed by the current user.
| |
| − | * Working un-Follow button added.
| |
| − | * Trying to handle visibility of both buttons under different circumstances.
| |
| − |
| |

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''June 27'''

| |
| − | * All above items on the homepage will be sorted reversed chronologically (the model uploaded last, will be shown first).
| |

| |
| − | * Added profile button on model_viewer/renderer which leads to the owner of the model.
