alumni-dashboard

Building a dashboard for the alumni where they can view and update all their details like company, address etc. It also provides a administrative access for the college, where they can manage all their alumni databases, their details and send mails to bulk people based on some filter.

Using rails-admin as dashboard, a custom action for sending out mails is implemented with option to send bulk mails as well.
Also has the functionality to send attachments.
Using Froala editor.

Important setup instructions:

To set up your Gmail account set ENV variables as mentioned below:

• Add local_env.rb to /config

alumni-dashboard's Issues

Need of show vs index and UI

remove show or redirect its routes to index and have a look at the UI part. Its using default bootstrap now. I changed index.html.erb's CSS. U can take the UI from here.

Fix Login/Logout in navbar

Change logout button to login when not logged in (Currently it shows logout when not logged in)

Deploy Alumni Dashboard on Zense

To do so, use docker.

Refer to files here -> GIST

Link devise's email and schema's personal_email.

Add password reset facility.

UI and tinyMCE bug

UI has to be improved and the tinyMCE editor is not showing up, have to look into it.
I'll handle the UI if possible.

Make every column of schema not null.

It should be mandatory to fill all the details after signing up.

View Pending Mails from Sidekiq

A page should be available on the admin dashboard which shows this list of mails which are pending delivery.

This can be done by getting the job queue and parsing it to show as a list.

Change view

-Add description field and event image in Event schema
-Also show user details while RSVPing for event

Set up mailer in devise while signing up.

Get an email confirming user's sign up.

Keep track of unsent mails.

Prevent SignUps

People should not be able to signup on the portal. All the data for new alumnus will be feeded programmatically, so for safety, the signup should not be available on the portal.

If a user is logged in, /admin will give you dashboard.

It will check only when signing in whether that id is registered as an admin or not, and redirect to appropriate page, but if you are signed in and go to /admin it will give you the dashboard no matter whether you are admin or not.
Check whether the user is admin or not when routing to /admin.
Use cancancan if required.

Create a model for events.

Alumni should be able to login and rsvp for the event and respond with the number of people coming with them.
