GSoC with Sugar Labs: Coding Phase X
This is the twelfth post on my GSoC with Sugar Labs series. We started this week by finishing the integration of interactive (step by step) overlay tutorial. We were having issues with handling the tutorial on large pages where there was a need to scroll to view the complete page. We modified the steps of our tutorial and used jQuery to handle the scroll. We also used webL10n to handle language translation in our tutorial.
We then started working on the Sugarizer-Server Analytics improvement. The goal was to handle multiple charts on the Statistics View. We created a laundry list from which the user can select the charts he/she needs. However, it was difficult for the user to look for the desired charts in a list view. We created AddEditChart View to help the user to look for the desired chart in the laundry list in a user-friendly way:
When the user creates a new Chart, it gets listed on the ListCharts view:
In the ListCharts view, a user can search, edit, hide/show, and delete charts. ListCharts view also allows the user to reorder the sequence of the charts in which they appear in the Statistics view. The resultant Statistics page looks like this:
Customizable statistics page would make it efficient for the user to work with multiple charts as the analytics in Sugarizer-Server expands and the number of charts increases and it will also improve the application performance on the low-performance devices by loading only a few selected charts.
