Angular material upgrade

Splaktar commented 9 years ago

Massive re-write to pull out Bootstrap 2.x and replace it with Angular-Material. Major refactoring of Angular code and project layout to better align with the angular-styleguide.

Major improvements to functionality of News page including:

Click Shares button to go to post's Ripples page in Google+.
See profile pictures of both sharing chapter and original poster (if a reshare).
Include a ton more media in the news pages by hooking into the Google+ API.
This includes much higher resolution images, photo albums displayed in an md-grid-list, and articles showing a preview of the linked page.
Add icons for the chapter's Twitter, Facebook, Meetup, and Google Developers pages in addition to the existing Google+ link.

Lots of general bug fixes for layouts and mobile.

Fix issues #11 (Support snippets when sharing) and #28 (Allow customization of the event date formats on the Events page).

Need to fix videos so that their preview image loads and displays properly in the news.

OK, videos in the news feed are fixed. This should be ready to go unless some issues are found soon.

Need to fix Google Drive document sharing. It looks like it should show something, but nothing is appearing atm.

Also need to remove 'Article Preview:' text if the article has no preview text.

Splaktar commented 9 years ago

Apparently there is no way to display Google Drive documents the way that Google+ does as they do not expose a preview image, embed URL, or even the URL to the Drive document. This is working as well as it can with the current Google+ API.

Article Preview for empty preview fixed.

No outstanding issues remain.
