conference-tracker's Issues

Permissions for ambassadors

We need to handle permissions for the various roles. Ambassadors (int and ext), guests (just registered) and internal visitors.

Add location to the SLK

Add city, province/state and country to the SLK.

MeetupFinder returns only 200 results

The Meetup search uses Meetupfinder in the background. It seems like it's only returning the first 200 results though. When there are more than 200, we should use the &offset=1 to get the second page of results. All results should be fetched before sending the results from Webtask to the application.

Some cities have hundreds of results so a cleanup of the data will be needed before this is sent to the client to avoid sending Gb's of data over the wire.

Dismiss events in the post-event report area

So, way back when I started, I accidentally added the wrong meetup to my conftracker list. The plan was to just ignore it, and delete the card from trello.

I'm now being asked to give a post-event report for it though. Can we have an option to dismiss, or delete events from this area, for the case where we make a mistake, or perhaps even have to cancel a previously accepted event?

Need a "fuck it" button for conferences

Requested by Tony on Sept 7th.
I still need to figure out how to implement it. It works in Meetups because the list is not shared with other users...

Show location in upcoming events list

Hi Joel, nice summary this morn, is there a way we can get a column on the conftracker for "location" such as city,state?

[...] And it's for selfish reasons because if you're in a city, perhaps we can leverage you at a customer site for a few hours while you're there!

Sometimes, the SLK and other things are not processed

Seems to be related to conference URLs that have a "#" in them.

Search field in conference list

Requested by Tony on Sept 7th

Pressing [enter] in form fields breaks things

A while ago, I started getting 400 status responses from the conference tracker. Clearing all site data fixed it.

Separately, I've noticed that pressing [enter] when submitting a new talk title, or searching for meetups by city, causes the app to ask me to reauthenticate. I presume this might be because the [enter] bypasses a JS hook, reloads the page, and the token disappears. But I've not tested that this is the cause.

Just now, I noticed that searching for Meetups in Melbourne, and hitting [enter] instead of clicking Find Meetups, I started getting the 400 error response again.

I wonder if they're linked.

Suggestion from Bobby on meetup flows

Hey @joel.lord for the conftracker, it would be nice if the Find Meetups page showed me the ones I have already applied and if the applied flow returned to you to the previous search page. NBD, just nice to have.

Ensure the user is logged out on expired token

When the token is expired, we need to either re-authenticate the user or kick them out to avoid errors where the users thinks they actually performed an action.
