Added Days Left Progress Bar #2281

Closed Hls5235 closed 2 weeks ago

Hls5235 commented 3 weeks ago

After deleting the chapel credits from the Home Page the staff and faculty could no longer see how many days are left in the term. I added a progress bar onto the Home Page so the staff and faculty can see it. After discussion it seems this feature would be useful to students for different reason than the wheel that they already see on the dining balance card, so I made it visible for everyone. It was also made clear that users would benefit from seeing the time before the spring term begins during the winter break and the same as the small gap between the start of the spring term and end of the summer term along with the start of the summer term and end of the fall term. I added logic in to take care of this, I also did this so it is easy to adjust if for some reason we would stray from the current terms we use.

Can @EjPlatzer take a look - how does the term start/end connect with the Activity listed in the Activity Table that manages the timing for the Wheel? Reason: there have been habits of Session builders to set session dates out of sync with actual experience of the first day of classes and end day of classses which makes the wheel confusing - so a workaround was made a few years ago to control the days remaining related to the wheel.

Hey @ChrisImagineer, I believe this is already taken care of because I am pulling the start and end dates from the same place that the wheel gets it from. @EjPlatzer should still check but I believe the dates are correct.
