Hi, this is the progress report for the cookie manager project which is currently part of GSoC.

Discussion Outline:

• Discuss how to use the strings whether they should be in the database or language files.
• Conclude that we should move strings to the language files.
• Discuss how to categorise the cookies whether using the category feature of Joomla or in the other way.
• It’s better to use the category feature provided by Joomla, not need to reinvent the wheel.
• Discuss the new fields for the database table.

Tasks completed this week:

• Update the database table according to the new requirements.
• Remove the dependency of edit page rendering on the id.
• Remove the search for consents for now.
• Remove the strings from the database and put them into the language files.
• Move the default values like policy link and cookie banner position to the component configuration.
• Add the category component in the cookie manager component for the categorization of the cookies.
• Create a new page for viewing and editing cookies information.
• Add the name, description and the duration of the cookie in the edit view.
• Also, add the empty state layout for the component.
• Also add the SQL in the installation folder, both for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
