What I accomplished the past week:
I have been working in the user account area fixing bugs and adding new functionalities. All account related web pages that can be modified by the owner are forbidden from access by any other users who are logged in. I have also set up the edit profile page for each user, so that there is now an about me and location field. I am still modifying the password recovery system.
What I plan to do next week:
I will continue working on the password recovery system and begin the implementation of the comments system for each individual project.
Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 9/28-10/05)
What I accomplished the past week:
I finished redesigning the url routing system for the website. Now the framework has checks in place to verify user permissions as well as checking the validity of the link in question.
A new registration process has been implemented. It works by having two registration phases. The first one asks the user for their name and their email address. The website will then send an email to them with a link to the second part of the registration. This part is where the user enters in their desired username and password. The database does not store any information regarding a user who does not completely finish their registration. This is because the link sent through the confirmation email contains the user's name and email, which is encrypted using a public-private key algorithm. The framework does a validation check on each url to confirm that the link hasn't been tampered with.
I also fixed up the website's navigation website by changing the previous look and feel of the site. To achieve this, I got rid of the side bar login screen and decided to include these components at the top of the page. Next, I moved the search option up to the header to open up the side bar. Now, only web pages that need the side bar can use it; otherwise other pages can use that space. I also got rid of the banner images on each and every page. Finally, I was able to make all footers stick to the bottom of the page.
What I plan to do next week:
I plan to implement the password recovery system and to start the re-design of a user's profile page.
Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 9/21-9/28)
What I accomplished the past week:
I have continued redesigning the url routing system for the website because my original design for the site was making it hard to support a user's profile page. Those new url links now have checks in place to verify user permissions as well as confirming the validity of those links. This should be completed by next week.
What I plan to do next week:
I plan to finish up the redesign and implementation of the url routing system next week and to implement the new registration portions for the website.
Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 9/14-9/21)
What I accomplished the past week:
I have removed the accordion like login menu with a fixed login menu. The ranking star scale has been readjusted to allow only one star ratings. Therefore, a user can highlight a star to give a project a +1 to its overall ratings; there are no negative ratings allowed. The CSS of each person's individual project page has also been redesigned. Finally, I have integrated the new jnlp and xml files with the website.
I also have started to redesign the url routing system. There were some issues with accessing certain url pages that have to be resolved. Moreover, there were some permission and security issues that needed to be addressed.
What I plan to do next week:
I plan to continue redesigning the url routing system. I will also continue working on fixing up a user's profile page. I also plan to redesign the registration portion of the website.
Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 9/07-9/14)
What I accomplished the past week:
I implemented a new ranking system that is based on a 1-5 star scale. The system allows only logged in users to vote and gives them the flexibility to continuously change their ratings for each project; those statistics would be immediately reflected in the average ratings score. I also created a dialog form modal for logging in. The url for the login screen is still functional.
What I plan to do next week:
I plan to look into building the comment's system and integrating Google forms with it. I will also continue to fix up the user's profile page for each user.
Concerns:
None
