AJAX and PHP testing on eractest wiki

Started testing some AJAX/PHP code on Eractest. This test code is not connected to the wiki and will only be accessible through the specific URL. Copied Rating Bar extension and renamed to TeeBar on Eractest. This extension will be used as a base for the new rating bar extension for Opasnet.

TeeBar extension

This extension will include all the functionality of the Rating Bar extension, only adding a second bar under the current one. The two bars will be named "Scientific Quality" and "Usefulness".

Things to do for the extension

• Create tables into SQL database (DONE)
  • Design the SQL tables needed! (DONE)
    • See how the current tables work (DONE)
• Make the extension behave like it should
  • SQL-queries altered to handle two types of rating
    • INSERTs (mostly done, needs testing)
    • UPDATEs (mostly done, needs testing)
    • SELECTs (in progress)
  • Javascript updated to handle two types of rating
    • onmouseover (buggy, fix this)
    • things that happen on page load (buggy)
• Make the extension look like it should (layout will be considered after the bars work)
  • Change colors to fit OpasNet blue-red?
  • Position of elements (bars, text fields) inside the rating box
• Test the extension
• Deploy to Opasnet
  • Squash bugs before deployment

Bugs to fix

• You voted RATINGBAR_NO_TYPE % on page load
  • doqueries.php: $vote_sent gets passed into initial page load as empty parameter (if-logic issue)
