Issue 109

We are building features for the Women Who Code community and we want to highlight that work with our stakeholders, you! THANK YOU to our contributors for dedicating their valuable time to help us build tech a place where women can excel.

You can follow all of our work on github. Below are a few snippets of our awesome features.

Released

We've been doing a ton of work during this weeks sprint to develop and improve the Women Who Code product. Here are some of our updates.

Solved R14 Errors in Logs
We added Web Concurrency Max Threads and DB Pool values to app.json. This solved R14 errors which had been appearing in the log.

Profile Pictures Bug Fix
We fixed a bug that was preventing users from uploading a profile picture to their Profile. Users can now click on the image or "upload" copy on the form, and the image appears in black and white like all other images on the site.

History Model for Profiles
We implemented a History Model for tracking changes to profile elements over time. Whenever a user now changes something on their profile, a record of that shows up in a history table that can be used to review the history of that profile.

Added CODEOWNERS
We have set it up so that the assigned owner of all the code in the repo is WomenWhoCode/website-reviewers. The group now must approve before a pull request can be merged.

Deleted NetworkLeader Bug Fix
We implemented a fix to a bug that was making it impossible to add a NetworkLeader back to the same Network with the same title after they have been deleted.

ActiveAdmin Version Update
We updated activeadmin to the latest version and removed some unneeded overrides in admin/resources. We also updated jquery-rails, removed jquery-ui as a dependency and updated the active admin initializer to match the latest version.

Updated Members on About
We made several changes to titles and sort order of Team Members, Board Members, and Advisors on the About page, to better reflect the Women Who Code organization.

Updated Froala Version
We updated the Froala WYSIWYG version that powers all of our posting forms on the site. We also fixed a spacing bug that was causing spaces to appear between words in the text when copied and pasted from certain sources.
