Add 100 Automations project to the project database

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Overview

The meeting times on the hackforla website are driven by an VRMS api. So incoming requests for changes to that page, have to be sent here to be updated manually. We need to add this new project the output.

Action Items

• Add meeting time:
  • Wednesdays: 4:30-5:30 Management Meeting
  • Satudays 2:00pm-4:00pm Team Meeting

Hi @clockwerkz, I'm the PM for the 100Automations project - just wanted to check in on this issue. We're hoping to add in new people to the project and just wanted to get the word out on our team meeting times :)

[clockwerkz]

@NivenPrasad Hey! Nice to meet you. :) Feel free to reach me on Slack. I'm currently evaluating our options on the backend..

[clockwerkz]

Progress: Getting started on this task as it closely relates to #237.
Blockers: None
Availability: Mon-Fri after 6 PM

@NivenPrasad I'm sorry for the delay! For some reason I understood this project to be a code addition to the back end. You just need an entry into the db for your weekly meetings. I'll take care of that this afternoon so it should be up for tomorrow's Management Meeting

[clockwerkz]

Ok I have added two separate recurringevents in the database; one for the management team on Wednesdays and one for Saturdays team meeting. I'll be double checking tomorrow to see if the management meeting shows up in the dropdown checkin list..if it doesn't, plz me know!

Hi @clockwerkz @alex-anakin it doesn't look like its showing up yet. Here is the data json from the website after we hit the api: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackforla/website/gh-pages/_data/vrms_data.json. It dosen't look the same as the 311 project for example:

@ExperimentsInHonesty Yep, I'll look into this again. I suspect the cronjob that's running the events may be erroring out. I need to see if there's any sort of errors being generated on the backend of the live site. I don't have access to this.

The issue at hand is that our data models don't really have any "required" attributes.. so I've gone through and looked at what data the the function that renders events currently needs based on the data that it pulls from each document in the recurringevent entry. On the Development build, I'm able to generate events from what I've inputted into the entries, and in turn, the checkins cronjob will open the event by setting it's checkInReady to true. This week I was able to get the Management Meeting for 100 Automations to show up, but unfortunately it didn't work for the team meeting today.

In short, I am potentially blocked by a) no access to the live site (maybe someone who does have access to it could look for me), and b) we've just updated our development branch so we'll need to roll out these latest changes to the master.

I'll keep investigating this issue for sure!

Meeting times are displaying correctly, but the "Meetings" heading is missing from the project page. Would have to look into how the website displays the project/meeting data in the individual project page and see if it's an issue on our end.

For reference, this is 311's project page:

And 100 Automations (Meetings heading is missing):

@clockwerkz I mentioned this on the hfla slack channel so that someone from the website team could take a look at this. My guess is that its a website issue, not a vrms issue. https://hackforla.slack.com/archives/C4UM52W93/p1599090516038500

[NivenPrasad]

Thanks @clockwerkz for working on this - looks like all fixed now! Was an issue on the website team side and they've addressed it. You can close this issue now.
