tutor-exchangev4's Issues

Add people to existing message threads

Backend is there, frontend must be written

Alert in Submit/Edit School

Alert shows up in submit/edit school section of tutor dash saying all of the fields are required.

Thread array/string mismatch

School involvement

The point of the site is to be crowd sourced. However, for advertisement, it would be a huge benefit to have the support of school systems. We already have a tiered account system, would it make sense to add another tier for a school administrator, so that they can add all classes in their schools? It would go faster than having tutors submit their own suggestions, which they might not be inclined to do (it's easier just to advertise by word of mouth than to get super involved in the workings of some no0b site)

Image in messages not default profile

defaulting to the no image thing, not to the nicer looking user icon

Remove old tutor_contacts table and Migration

The old table and associated logic for handling tutor contacts needs to be removed and edited for the new messaging system. This requires redoing the tutor_contact migration script, removing table seeder, and any old logic remaining in the controllers.

Non high school but high school age

Just thought of this right now. As of now, if you want to be taught at the high school level you pretty much have to conduct a search for a specific high school and choose from specific classes (which is a big selling point). However, there are people who are high school age who are not in school but need tutoring, and there are subjects not related to any single school system that people need help in. I think the professional tutors can do this? But I'm not sure...

Recipient selector in messages

Before our release we should probably figure out a better way to pick recipients for messages than a massive list of checkboxes

My Classes Page has database N+1 issue

Use joins to fix N+1 queries.

password reset style

fields look way too big in the password reset page after you hit forgot password and hit the button in the email

Exchange (haha) of services

Maybe if two tutors each need tutoring in subjects the other could teach, we could advertise that as a benefit of using the site (you can find a tutor that can teach you, and that needs your tutoring, and you wouldn't need to exchange money because you are helping each other out). This is a little more of a socialist type idea as opposed to our original capitalist aspirations (lol) but I'd like to hear what you think

FormRequest Sub Classes

Sub class Illuminate/Foundation/Http/FormRequest.php into validation classes in app/Http/Requests/ to remove validation logic in controllers.

Checkboxes unwieldy in create message

Change it to a typeahead tag system.

Middle Classes in Tutor Profile

The middle classes for each tutor needs to be included in their profile.

New Message Bug

New Message from dashboard saved tutors always has "Loading..." title

SAT Tutoring

SAT tutoring is a generic subject, something that doesn't make sense for people to add in each town individually. Maybe have an option alongside school and music tutoring?

contact tutor

Contact modal in the search results is still linked to the old contact system and not messages

Search Engine Optimization

https://github.com/marcobiedermann/search-engine-optimization

Lots of stuff to improve, many of which take advantage of google's indexing to bring in more traffic

WYSIWYG Editor in Messaging

to embed images, video, format text, etc.

Styling in hs search

School typeahead styling is messed up

Move complicated db eloquent ORM queries into separate repository class

There is way to much implementation specific stuff stuck in the controllers. This needs to be moved into the Repository folder in new classes. This will also prevent a lot of code duplication.

Payment

I know we talked about this, we should keep it in mind for the release after this one. Online payments, with paypal, money back guarantee for the first session as insurance, maybe background check incentives for the tutors to agree to get paid online. If we ever incorporate a more complicated scheduling system where you can schedule sessions, it would be interesting if we could have it automatically schedule payments hands-free, as well.

Sent messages

Sent messages shows exactly the same page as inbox, even if you didn't send any messages in the threads in your inbox.

Contributing link in dropdown

Link is either broken or unimplemented. Should this be all of the proposal things that have up to now been in the tutoring dashboard?

For db backup dump?

Typeahead

In the submit/edit/delete class/level page, the typeaheads don't all search through the correct tables

Springboard off of a few existing schools

Perhaps we should modify the seeders to add schools, classes, etc. for nearby school systems (we would have to spend some time looking up available courses). A common trope in my interviews were that people would use the site, but only if it was already established to a point. The crowdsourcing will only really take off once we have a viable base, and the viable base will only take off when we have good crowdsourcing. So we jumpstart the crowdsourcing and give ourselves a leg up.

SAVE SEARCH

This was my favorite idea. If you are a regular user (or a developer hint hint), you will spend alot of time just going through the motions of filling out the search form to get results that you already found in the past. It would be really awesome if you could save a search query so that in the future you can at the click of a button execute that search without going through the entire tedious form process again. Would be a big time saver, if not for users, than for us.

Video chat

Obviously we are not there yet. Maybe incorporating video chat into the site is something we can think about in the future to give people more incentive to use the site specifically.

User being logged out

The Session driver seems to randomly log users out while they are still using the application.

Navbar blocks inputs on mobile.

The navbar blocks to much of the screen on mobile when typing in inputs. We need a fix for this, maybe keep the navbar at the bottom (sticky)?
