Issue 128
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 working on some exciting changes to the Network pages this week, moving us closer to the goal of giving each Network their own properly branded Mini-Site. We also made some design updates to the job board and took care of a few other upgrades to help the overall performance of the website.
Our Story
– The About Page is being updated with an "Our Story" section based on the newest approved designs.
Network Upcoming Events Pages
– Approved mocks were implemented by adding new events view, individual event display partial, and other styles.
– Updated the events path and network controllers to load the new page format for /events.
Job Post Updates
– Made the following fields require: company name, about us, how to apply
– Updated styles on "Post a Job", "Edit a Job" and "Clone a Job" to have the same spacing on all major browsers.
– On the jobs Show page styles were updated to ensure spacing was even on all major browsers for jobs with apply URL's and those with apply Emails.
Remove TOS Banner
– The Terms of Service update banner was removed from every page of the site.
Network Subnav
– Implemented the approved mocks for the new "Tab Nav" section of the Network pages.
– Ensured that "Get Involved" and "Join Us" buttons match the approved mocks.
ActiveAdmin Performance Updates
– Updated the Active Admin filter: admin/network_leader
– Changed the profile filter from a drop select filter type to a text-search filter-type to avoid loading lots of data into memory.
– Add scopes to eager-load data on pages with many associations.
