We used Django to create our SQL database, which we used to keep track of information for users and carpools, amongst other relevant data. We then used the Django template language in our HTML file in order to display the data we pulled from the database for each user. The calendar was implemented with FullCalendar, a jQuery plugin by Adam Shaw. For displaying the maps and directions for each carpool, we used the Google Maps API.
Problems
-Details-Our form submissions don’t work. We had realized that we would need to use AJAX to prevent page refreshes upon form submission. We had made significant progress towards implementing this; however, we discovered that pursuing the AJAX route would require us to rewrite all of our Django template code to HTTP Requests. As the deadline was quickly approaching, we did not have time to do this. Instead, we opted to make our front end function as though user’s actions had succeeded despite the changes not showing in the back end. This temporary, hacky solution could potentially cause confusion in user testing should the test user decide to logout and then log back in because their actions were not saved in the back end.
