This project required me to create a website drawing on all of the software development techniques I have learned throughout the course.

A user is able to register for the website and begin interacting with the community immediately. A user will fill in some personal information and have the opportunity to further edit their profile after registration.

The website essentially represents a hypothetical app in which users are given the ability to decide the direction of the app. It integrates ecommerce functionality that allows users to suggest new features and donate from there. Other users can also donate for previously made features and the features with the highest money donated will be worked on as priority. Users are also able to post any bugs they have found. Other users are able to 'like' the bug to inform us they have also had a similar issue. Again most liked bugs will be worked on first. Users are able to comment on features/bugs to further incoorporate the community feel the app is looking to promote.

The website includes a 'Stats' page which allows the community to track the activity of the app. I incoorporated HighCharts to visualise the data generated by the website. The page displays the traffic from within the site to give users a feel for the size of the community. It also includes the features/bugs which are leading the way and therefore which will be worked on first.

The website only allows access to the features/bugs page if a user is logged in and authenticated.

• Django 2
• BootStrap 3
• Google Fonts
• JavaScript
• CSS
• HTML
• threadedcomments
• Pillow
• Materialize
• jQuery
• django-vote

• Check that user is able to successfully register
• Check that username/email must be unique to others
• Check that user is immediately able to sign in after registration
• Ensure form validation is working correctly, especially with passwords
• Ensure a user is able to change their password
• Make sure a user is able to successfully update their details when editing profile

• Ensure media queries work properly to show one feature per row on smaller screens
• Ensure that the donation button works correctly and adds the correct amount into the cart
• Ensure the comments system works on the single page and the link takes the user back to the correct feature/bug after clicking link on thank you page
• Ensure after adding comment the comment count is correct
• Ensure that after donating for feature the 'money donated' field is updated correctly
• Ensure the like button increases the amount of likes shown on the bugs/bug page
• Make sure the same user is unable to like the same bug twice - the flash message should provide feedback

• Ensure new features/bugs immediately show up on the respective pages after creation
• Ensure the maximum character limit works for the description section
• Ensure the correct user is shown as the author

• Ensure that adding the same feature twice adds up the total and doesn't show separately on the cart page
• Ensure smaller screens doesn't cause text overflow with differing number of features in cart
• Ensure amending the donation amount works properly and updates in nav too
• Ensure the correct feature is being added into the cart
• Make sure the delete button completely removes the object from the cart

• Ensure form validation is working
  • Typing in invalid card number
  • Typing an expiry date in the past
  • Invalid security code
  • Leave a section blank in the user details section
• Correct feedback if payment is successful - redirection to features page and a flash message informing user of a successful payment

• Ensure when new user, new feature or new bug is added it is reflected on the graphs
• Make sure when a donation is made that pushes into top 5 it is shown straight away on stats page

To Clone the project from github:

$ git clone https://github.com/jstokes1994/UnicornAttractor-Final-Project

I recommend deploying the project in a virtual envioronment:

$ cd directory-name
$ python3 -m venv virtual-env-name

You will need to install the dependencies found in the requirements.txt file:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

To run the project locally use:

$ python3 run.py

You can also run the app through Heroku.

The project was deployed to Heroku with config vars:

• IP = 0.0.0.0
• PORT = 5000

There are no differences between the development and deployed versions.

Note the project is written with Python3 and not Python2.
