Changes in scope:
Details of the changes made:
- Primary
- Client informed us to rename "Events" to "Special Events"
- Events module is changed to "Special Events" module which will redirect to Platinum Yoga's Special Events page
- Booking and filtering of "Retreats/TT" (TT stands for teacher training) has been added
- Secondary
- "Lucky Draw System" has been removed as MindBodyOnline API adds points to users' accounts internally automatically for referrals and there is no way for us to add points to users' accounts using the API. Furthermore, client find it a hassle if he has to manage 2 point systems.
- "Yoga Pose-Tree" is renamed to "Yogapedia"
- New module "Analytics for Yogapedia" has been added
- Waiting list for events is removed as of events module is changed to "Special Events" module
- Waiting list now shows "Retreats/TT"
- Tertiary
- "FAQ" is renamed to "Info/Etiquette"
- "Promotions", "PY Privileges" and "Contact us" has been added

Bug Metrics
Future Project Risks:
Our Top 3 Risks:
Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
Problems encountered from third party vendor (MindBodyOnline) & unclear API instruction | Medium | High | Run frequent testing and alert MindBodyOnline immediately. Readjust project schedule to ensure that other tasks can be done while waiting for replies or MindBodyOnline to resolve the issue. |
Updates in scope from client | Medium | High | Establish a standard which is agreeable for client and readjust schedule and resources to attempt to deliver what the client needs. Establish constant communication with client to keep him in the development loop. |
With the usage of new technologies, we may run into trouble implementing certain complex functionality | Medium | Medium | Research and allocate more time for technology familiarization and consider alternative. |
Technical Complexity:
Using MindbodyOnline API
- As we cannot directly send requests from our mobile application to the MindBodyOnline API, we need to use a web server and php scripts to act as a middleman to do that
- Soap Client function in the php is used to communicate with the MindBodyOnline API
- The execute tag is not in the documentation. Have to trial and error to work with the API.
- Mindbody also took quite some time to reply which slowed down our development.
Ionic Platform:
- Learning Ionic Platform as front-end for our project
- Mastering the 2 way data binding (from front to back and vice versa)
- (first picture) Ionic method is called from the front-end to pass data to the controller which then passes the data to the factory before the data gets transferred to the MindBodyOnline API.
- (second picture)Data is retrieved using server from the MindBodyOnline API within the factory. Controller then use the same factory to get the data before iterating it through from the front.
- Loading Time Issues
- Developers realised that data from API need to be retrieved earlier in the factories (call these factories earlier), before pulling them from the controllers. This will enable the data to display on time if not the information will only show up after a longer time.
Using Phonegap Plugins for Ionic Project
- Developer has experience using Phonegap Build service to deploy Android application, however, support for deploying Ionic applications using Phonegap plugins on Phonegap Build service is limited
- Need to understand how to use Phonegap Plugins(eg. opening browser) work for Ionic projects.
Default Ionic Project config.xml Configurations:
Changes Made to Implement Phonegap Plugins for Ionic Project:
Phonegap Plugins used:
Displaying Images in Firebase
Adding a particular pose for Yogapedia on the portal:
Retrieving the picture from Firebase (HTML Codes):
Firebase Structure:
- Firebase has limitation in uploading images and photos
- Backend developer conducted intensive research and trial & error using different alternatives to insert images into Firebase
- Base64 decoder was chosen to encode and decode images using text (compatible with Firebase)
