Googling Summer

It was a great pleasure to work with great coders/developers at Plone Foundation and learning a lot from them during the course of the program. This blog is about summarizing the whole work I have done during this summer under Google summer of code 2016 under Plone Foundation. So my project mainly focuses on improving forms in plone for dexterity. We already have forms in plone for archetype. So there is a project named collective.easyform which basically provide forms for Plone as dexterity contenttype. The main focus of the project was to improve that code base. Make this stable for plone 5.0 and above. Make all the test cases passing for the code base. Try to cover tests as much as possible code base. Also implement functionalities for fields/actions of the forms in correct place. Make the plone more user friendly. Finally for users who want to migrate their already present forms in Plone Form Gen (PFG) which is archetype to easyforms which are dexterity based forms Plone. This w

So its been the end of community bonding period and I have been looking into the code base for which I will be working for this summer's project. Collective.easyform , A project for Plone which helps in create forms for plone using dexterity content type. So the project mainly focuses on Improving this add-on to work for properly for Plone5. Current Status of collective easyforms :- Wooh!! It's breaking and failing at lot of the parts. So right now the project is failing for tests and one of the main task of the project is the improve tests to make them work for project. Improving tests help us in tracking the future changes of the project so that we can see if new things/features are working properly in the code. Work done till now :- So till now I have done the setup for the project and did one feature correction, the basic mailer_template which is the default one is not able to render properly and it was showing error , so to make it fix everytime, we have to co

Okay. So finally the list of GSOC'16 selected students is out and I am glad that my project got selected under Plone Foundation. I am really looking forward to work on my project which is basically improving the add-on named easyforms. I have already started working on the same project and will plan with my mentor for future work. I will keep this blog updated with the work I will be doing during the project as I did last summer too. Cheers.
