@dustinfaulkner91 @eli4 I'm working with the app html and css. I'll let you know as soon as I finish

[maryi]

Hey, I just finished working with the app. I added a CSS style to the whole website, added the About us page and added descriptors missing from the pages. Please verify @dustinfaulkner91 @eli4 that the webpages still can connect to the database.

I copied and pasted from the old version, but I had to modified some stuff to be coherent with the report. You guys are would know how to .. :) ..

If you find anything weird or inconsistent, just let me know.

[eli4]

looking at the changes now, ill have to change a bit in the database ill try to have things consistent by noon tomorow

[eli4]

@maryi in the searchIndex.html it now has a category for physical distribution but on the list of base applications https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Trh6Pesxvv5aYfd_x7wXxGmR5k9Y5g7-wpFbezwqi8E/edit#gid=0 we had removed physical distribution. is it back in as a descriptor now?

[eli4]

got the css for the website on the live site. @maryi the register page has physical distribution planned permenence and turnover as categoriesbut they are listed as removed in the list of base applications, these fields also arent being searched on so they arent used for any functionality.

[eli4]

alright everything should be good to go now on the website if people want to begin user testing.

Any chance of changing the URL to something that makes more sense or fixing the typo in the spelling of tutorial?

It's looking great otherwise!

[eli4]

ill look into changing the url to something more fitting

[eli4]

the website can now be found at http://matchmaker-1137.appspot.com/

[kristalow]

Hi @eli4 About your question: "the searchIndex.html it now has a category for physical distribution but on the list of base applications we had removed physical distribution. is it back in as a descriptor now?"

Remember we define two sets of descriptors, one for collaborative work and another one for applications. When you search, you describe the work to be done, so we use the descriptors for work (table 1 on report). On the other side, the list of applications describes the features of apps, in that case use the descriptors for applications (table 2 on report). In the list of application descriptors we removed physical distribution and we decided to use awareness mechanisms. Table 3 on the report has the match between descriptors for collaborative work and descriptors for tool features.

***About this other question: "the register page has physical distribution planned permenence and turnover as categoriesbut they are listed as removed in the list of base applications, these fields also arent being searched on so they arent used for any functionality." You're right, physical distribution, planned permenence, and turnover should not be on the register page, instead we should have for each: Physical Distribution : Awareness mechanisms
Planned Permanence: Learning curve, Service type Turnover: Content privacy, Hierarchy

I guess I missed to check that, sorry. Thanks for spoting that :)

hey, I just updated some visual components in the website to make it prettier :P

[eli4]

@maryi is there a reason we now have 2 separate turorial folders under development/web? im not sure which one is the real one for updating the live site since they are both changed at the same time. Also for some reason GitHub says you edited all the files even though only some of them have changed which makes it very difficult to see what has changed in this iteration. If possible if your could undo your commit and re commit only the files that have been changed that would make it a lot easier to see whats new.

Never mind I understand why there are 2 now,

[eli4]

@mayri the build you commit broke all the buttons. I made a new folder under development/web/ called matchmaker to reflect the new website url http://matchmaker-1137.appspot.com/ . If you could put your changes there it will be easy for me to see the difference between the two versions so I will be able to fix the two buttons. also once this is done was should delete the turorial and tutorial folders to avoid confusion.

[maryi]

@eli4 got it. Moving stuff to matchmaker folder...

Sorry ... I broke the links!

[eli4]

all good, I think the problem was that when you committed the tutorial folder you had some outdated files because the files you actually updated contained no problems.

[maryi]

ok, good!.. Thanks @eli4 !
