I just posted a new updated version to git and the cs web server. It seems their might be a few issues on the server again that are not replicated if it is being run on my own machine. I updated the pictures to the ones Tim had given the article team a few weeks ago and left a template version inside the code for any future additions.

Small changes to the look of the slideshow app have been made as well. James had worked on it as well, but those additions are not added to this version. The only changes added are brighter left and right arrows and the drop down menu. Small changes to pictures sizes have been made too.

The addition of swipe functionality is still being looked into. I have been messing with it a bit, but every change I make has added a different fault. Will continue to look into this. Same with minimizing the image if an arrow is clicked. This has not been fixed and I have not yet looked into it.

I’d like to get an updated working developmental branch as it seems to still be broken. I’ll look at that this weekend. I might just push directly to it, although I know we agreed upon not doing that. I think it might be a better idea than waiting for all the merges to take place. Something should be up there, working, at all times in my opinion.

I’ve been very busy lately with other school work, so it has been a while since a post. Looking forward to next Monday! These Mondays off are killing us!

James found a great template slideshow under the GNU license which is perfect for this project. I made a couple of modifications to it already and it seems like it is a great candidate for the end product. It was basically in a perfect state as is. The only modifications that are now needed (as far as I can tell) are to put the picture finder at the bottom of the screen (Tim’s request) and add the swipe functionality from JQuery to the pictures. Moving the picture finder to the bottom of the screen maybe harder than I originally thought, but we’ll look into it.

Now where the issues lie… As far as I can tell, the slideshow works great on my machine and from the github server, but it will not load while trying to access it from the school server. This is a major issue. It will not load in a browser from the server or on the iPad. Parts of the page will load and it seems like it will function from what is there. It just will not load the pictures. I’m not sure if this a problem with the code (most likely) or a problem when it got uploaded to the server (maybe the images didn’t get uploaded)? Anyways, hopefully we can figure this out. We still have six weeks left, so no hair pulling yet.

If you want to try the slideshow you’ll have download it from github.

As most of you probably know, I pushed everything everyone has done so far (excluding the puzzle, Ryan already pushed it) to the developmental branch. I took the homepage, article viewer and coloring app from everyones private repos (hopefully they don’t mind). I also updated the homepage to link to the respected app. Hopefully we can now get this thing rolling for some testing!

Other than that, I’ll be making some tweaks to the slideshow app. Hopefully James and I can get that thing shaped up to what it is suppose to be over the next few days. I may also look into adding the homepage button to each app. Although, I might not touch it since I think Joe wants control over that?

It’s looking good guys and gals!

I figured I should post an update about this. Whether it was suppose to work or not, I was able to get onto the server at home using the “209.xxx.xxx.xxx” address. I blanked it out since I’m not sure if that should be public knowledge yet?

Two things I would like to say. firstly, the Jquery slide functions DO work on the ipad. Their were no issues there. The only thing as of now with it is you can’t drag. It is more of a swipe which in turn moves the screen, instead of a dragging and scrolling type deal. I’ll try and see what I can do about this, if anything. But it is functional as of now.  The second issue that is probably a main function in KioskPro, is that you can swipe up and down the page. As in you can pull a page up and see underneath it (the rubber band like effect). This is probably what KioskPro fixes, I just haven’t heard anyone mention it.

Now that we know Jquery works, I’m hoping the rest of the teams can get their things up on GitHub. I’d like to do some testing on my ipad! Best of luck!

I’ve been working on the slideshow a little bit since Mondays class. I’ve been looking at and working off of Joe’s code. It has been very helpful! Thank you Joe! I suggest others to due so as well if they are building something with JQuery in mind.

Anyways, to get to the update. I’ve been able to keep Joe’s UI look with the home button and general aesthetic intact, although there might be a little color deviation. Based off of Joe’s article viewer I have have created an image viewer at the bottom of the screen with arrows and images. However, none of it is functional/working yet. It is just a general idea so far. I’m going to be working on it the rest of the week. I just figured I’d write an update so you can see what’s going on. I placed an image here as well so you can see it.

I would like to get this pushed to Github, but I still don’t know what I am doing there. However, I did create a new branch today. At least I think I did. This is a learning experience for me, so my code is a little messy, but others might want to look at it.
