Topics:

1- Introduction to Database fix for 3rd party extensions

In J and Beyond 2017 (Krakow), there was a session “JAB17 - Case Study : Giving a Joomla face to EkStep - a unique education platform” where Ashwin Date commented that he was planning to submit a PR remarkably similar to  one of the features of this our GSoC Project, that I’m planning to implement: Database fix for 3rd party extensions, you can check it here https://youtu.be/BTzVec2hGNo?t=34m34s

Before the weekly meeting of the project, we had a meeting (Me, Anibal Sanchez and Nicola Galgano) with Ashwin to discuss more what was made in this project so far. He presented the feature itself and also the UI.

This meeting was short because I was very busy this week, studying for the final exams and delivering my last practical work. Overall, I couldn’t do much. I plan to continue with the roadmap the following weeks.

2- Technical notes on the edit_updatesite PR

The technical notes related to “Option to edit the update sites” has been officially reviewed by the core team, It will be ready to PR to joomla-cms/4.0-dev branch as soon as I write the PR.

 

3. Show Changelog feature technical note

 

The implementation and technical notes about the “Show the changelog for an update” feature is also complete and waiting for the review of my mentors. After their review, it will be ready to be submitted to the core team.

 

4. Next meeting

 

In the next meeting, we will discuss the technical notes for the “Show the changelog for an update” feature and look again into the  “Database fix for 3rd party extensions” feature
