ZIM `Description` should be mandatory

[kelson42]

Look at https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/Metadata

LongDescription should be configurable as well

Would be great to check the max size for both.

Hey @kelson42 I would like to work on this one :)

[rgaudin]

@ankur12-1610 please do. Note that issue title was incorrect. It should be required from user.

I am working on this one. Pretty easy though.

Wait, so I cant work on this one?? I am sorry, I didn't know that once a task is assigned to someone, we are not supposed to work on it.

Will remember next time.

Thanks for informing me.

[rgaudin]

Yes, that's what the assignee field is for. If someone's already assigned, skip it or ask if it's been a long time.

hey, can I solve this? I have already worked on a similar issue in zim-tools.

[rgaudin]

@Onyx2406, let's give a couple days to @ankur12-1610 who already has started a PR. If not, we'll close and reassign as this is really a trivial thing. Please note that it should leverage scraperlib

[snehalchaudhari98]

Hi @rgaudin, I am also interested in working on this issue. If this issue opens up again with no assignee, I would love to contribute.

[rgaudin]

@Onyx2406 this is now assigned to you.

[nithinkatta]

Hey hi I would like to solve this if @Onyx2406 couldn't.

[rgaudin]

No feedback in 5days… @Onyx2406 this task is now assigned to @nithinkatta

[KrishnaRishi2208]

@rgaudin I tried to solve it when the problem was posted . But since the task was assigned to someone else, I stopped the work in middle. Could you please assign it to me next in case it doesn't work out with the others.

Thank you

[KrishnaRishi2208]

@rgaudin If there is no response from @nithinkatta , I would love to solve this issue.

Hi, I'm actually new to this open-source contribution stuff and enthusiastic about GSOC 2023, can you help me out how to approach this problem so that i will solve the issue by my python coding skills.

You have to first locally download Nautilus python package and make changes to the Nautilus library so that the description will now be mandatory and also you have to add the option for long description.

[rgaudin]

I've unassigned the issue. Those interested can can submit PR directly.

Don't work on it If you're worried you may waste your time because someone could submit a correct PR first.

[KrishnaRishi2208]

@rgaudin I have made changes to the entrypoint.py file , scraper.py file, init.js file to include the above functionality. I also had to change the filesystem.py file in zimscraperlib/zim to support longdescription while making the zim file. I achieved the functionality and solved the issue, but it wont work unless zimscraperlib/zim/filesystem.py file is changed. Could you please guide me on what to do next.

[rgaudin]

I'll release scraperlib tomorrow

[KrishnaRishi2208]

I'll release scraperlib tomorrow

Great, I have created a PR. Please review it. Thank you
