django-voting-app's Issues

Documents link should open a new tab

Documents link on vote index should open a new tab. Consider using target="_blank"

Missing strings for translation

The Not yet active | Active | Finished is not translated. The logout neither

Add a field to votes to know who voted

It can be useful to know, in some contexts, who voted in a vote (the vote remains however anonymous).

An option should be added to display simply this list.

Improve docstr coverage

Currently docstr-coverage is around 75%. Goal is 100%.

Translation

Get list of available languages from MODELTRANSLATION_LANGUAGES and not from LANGUAGES

Self diagnostic page

We could have a self diagnostic page with

• Django and python versions
• django-voting-app versions and warning on available updates
• LDAP debugging
• etc...

Add doc translation on readthedocs

See if puglic results ara available

We should be able on the votes index and home to see if public results are available for this vote.

Setting for color

Add a setting value for the color of results and other component.

This will be defined as a bootstrap color.

A custom template processor will be needed to pass the value to all templates.

Interactive web page to create a vote

Instead of a long creation on the admin panel, we could use an interactive web page to create all the elements of a vote (vote, questions, answers, documents).

List of voters is wrong

List of voters print only one name and not the list of voters.

This is a critical issue.

Model translations and hashes for ballot don't mix together

Hash based on vote name are incoherent with the use of model translations, as the hash will depend on the language that is used.

Help date format is not good on page

It should be YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS not YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS

git don't work in diagonsotic page

Improve vote method

Verify that each question in the vote has a unique answer during the vote

Migrations and translations compilation in updater

Translate doc in French

Update script

An update script, to automatically update the software.

The see voters option should be available on the votes index

On the votes index, we should be able to see if the see voters option is enabled.

Need to verify that the user is warned on the voting page.

Improve admin

The readyness of a vote is not well integrated in the admin section, where all the rest of the work take place. There are also some slight improvements to add.

We should

• Create an admin action to make a vote ready
• Clearly display in the vote list if a vote is ready or not
• Add information in the listings of the vote,questions and answers (how many questions in the vote, how many answers in the question, how many documents, etc...)

Order of documentation not clear

In the documentation, some parts of the installation cannot be done without the configuration, and the configuration page is displayed after the installation page.

Allow some votes to have public results

Missing number of voters on results page

On the results page, the total number of voters for every vote is not displayed.

Translation issue

In french, on the votes index page, if no group is selected for the vote 👍

Groupes: no

instead of

Groupes: aucun

Allow vote extensions

In some case, votes can be extended in time. This could be implemented with simple buttons on the votes-index page with the following remarks :

• only an active vote will be able to be extended
• we define in the settings a parameter EXTENSIONS = [("72h", "72:00:00"), (), ...]. If it's empty, no extension will be defined. Otherwise only the defined extensions will be available.

Add configuration parameters on diagnostic page

Copy results

On the results page, it would be interesting to have a "copy results" button that will copy the results in a text based format, in order to be easily paste everywhere.

Order of votes on the home page

The order of the votes on the home page should not be the id order but based on the begin date. It should also be the case in the admin section
