Getting a workaround for the PetDetails page

 I have started working on a way that can use our api information and have it displayed to the user without too much of a load. As I mentioned last week, I had to figure out a way to use the Api Json information and display the complete pet description. At this point I believe the Api has some limitations and they are not clearly written in the Petfinder documentation.

I have tried to make an iFrame element with the page information in a window from the pets profile. I soon realized Petfinder forbids embedding content into other pages.

I am now at the point of using the componet.url information that is provided by the api token and using it to provide a clickable link for the user. The user can click this link and it will make a small pop out window. This window will snap directly to the profile description section within the chosen pets information page.


I have included a screenshot of what my page looks like as of now. I have been working on what display should look like. The "More...''' link brings up the window it needs to be cleaned up and I will meet with the group.


The cap off for the weeks begins with our team meeting held after our weekly milestone meeting. We discussed our current progress with each other and decided on scrapping some ideas altogether. This will give us more time to polish certain parts of the application that have been lacking.

I synced my description provider for the Pet Details page to the GitHub repository. I am currently sorting out the Trello board to help guide our work for the next week.

Authentication token and refraining from using Cron

This week, i spent a few days figuring out what I can do to refresh our authentication token from the Petfinder API. I had been looking through various scripts and one that caught my was Cron. A CRON script is a list of one or more commands to a computer operating system or application server that are to be executed at a specified time. As mentioned in an earlier blog post, i referred to this link  react-js-cron - npm (npmjs.com)  and read more about cron script for React JS. As i started to implement some of the steps, I found myself dealing with errors concerning deprecated scripts and possibly needing to download more software from the host repository. The terminal command for npm install -n led me down researching errors on updating our libraries but these updates didn't seem like the right way to handle the solution to the authentication token problem.  I didn't want to add more memory usage to the overall files. I decided to search the internet for a solution t...

Long week of Detailing

 As our project is approaching the last few weeks of development, I find my schedule a little fuller. As our meeting highlighted for me, I have been researching many different ways of getting the marketing aspect of the Pethub brand completed. Here is a link to my current work using PowToon and hosted on YouTube.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjm5UlFCUiA&t=56s I most wanted to use the infomercial formula in a comedic way.
