Speakers: Name missing even though it is required #3560

Closed mariobehling closed 7 years ago

mariobehling commented 7 years ago

The name is always a required field for speakers. Apparently it is marked as such but if the name is still missing the submission is still possible. Please ensure the name the named needs to be entered always also in Drafts.

@mariobehling this happens when someone submits a paper from CFS page. Since the speaker and session forms have been separated, so if the speaker is not registered and he saves a session as draft, then there is no speaker name associated with that session.

mariobehling commented 7 years ago

It looks like the process is not clear for speakers. We need to think about how to make this clearer. Speakers seems to think they already submitted.

SaptakS commented 7 years ago

@mariobehling So what if we make it necessary to register as a speaker before submitting a session to an event. I think that will make things clearer.

mariobehling commented 7 years ago

I want to look at how things are done with https://frab.cccv.de. Here it is very clear. What is the difference to us? Let's follow their approach more clearly.

SaptakS commented 7 years ago

@mariobehling atleast what I see they ask the user to register first and then allow session submission, one after the other. This is what I had proposed. But then we decided to keep the two things completely separate and not compulsory. If we don't make it compulsory for the speaker to register before submitting session, there is no way we can get speaker's information such as names.

If you want to keep the things separate and non compulsory like it is now, what we can do is in event dashboard we only show sessions that have speaker information associated with it.

@niranjan94 what do you think?

niranjan94 commented 7 years ago

I think the first option is better. Speakers needs to create an account to submit a CFS Proposal. That makes sense. And I guess that is what frab is also doing.

And I believe this is how it was at one point in Open Event too.

niranjan94 commented 7 years ago

@mariobehling this is Frab's implementation. We had a similar implementation in open event too at one point.

@niranjan94 agreed... Infact the previous flow of eventyay was somewhat like this only. Just that the speaker and session forms were combined into a single one. I guess we should allow session submission only once speaker is registered for the event.

mariobehling commented 7 years ago

@SaptakS They differentiate between a) signing up and b) adding info for a session proposal (they call it event). So in our case, that would mean users have access to the system. Then if they want to apply for an event, they need to add their personal information first. If you mean that, sounds good.

As our system is also a ticketing system our sign up flow needs to be open for both and is slightly different to frab.

So how do we implement this? An idea:

  1. People sign up.
  2. People click "Submit Proposal"
  3. They see the pop-up with the buttons "Add Speaker Details" and "Propose a Session"
  4. Then "Propose a Session" is grayed out as long as the speaker has not filled in his/her details?

SaptakS commented 7 years ago

@mariobehling that is exactly what I was proposing.

mariobehling commented 7 years ago

Ok, sounds good. Maybe change "Register as a Speaker" to "Speaker Details".

By the way, existing sessions currently don't show up here. I am opening an issue: https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-orga-server/issues/3562
