Battlefield Portal Community

A Community that loves Battlefield portal, and create tools and utilities around it. We have over 17k users on website and 2k users in discord.

We also have many projects available to contribute to.

The organization uses python for most of the projects so some familiarly with the language will help.

      2. All images must have good alt attribute    

        As the website is in the process to be compliant of WCAG 2 (opens in a new tab) Standard, We must make sure all the images have good descriptive alt attribute in img tags

        This task has two parts which will determine the overall scope of the task.

      3. Create and design template for login cancelled page      

        Currently if a user cancels the login flow or the flow becomes corrupt, we show a bare bones html template. Login cancelled html template

        In this task you will

        • Design and create the UI in figma (link to org's figma will be provided).
        • Implement the mock design in a template.
      4. Remove  Waypoint.infinite  and use custom implementation     

        Currently to achieve infinite scroll in various places the project uses Waypoint library, but the current implementation break a lot (especially on firefox), in this task you will

        • Identify all the places where infinite scroll is required
        • Create a custom js library (or use a better one) to achieve the infinite scroll on all places required
      5. Add a "More from Creator section" to Experience Page      

        In the community many people have create more than one Experience and it would be awesome if you could showcase some of the Experiences created by the user on the Experience Page

        The Experiences created by the same user must be displayed at the bottom of the page.

      6. Add Cache headers for Cloudflare to consume     

        Cloudflare provides free caching service to all users, but Currently we are not making use of it on the Frontend, this leads to more requests at server and more cpu cycles.

        we can add caching to Frontend by making use of the Cache-Control http header. In this task you will

        • Identify all the points where we can use Cache
        • Think of an efficient way to add headers for all points
        • Set cache age accordingly
      7. Add  Variants  to Experience Model      

        A creator of a custom game mode almost always wants to publish their game mode on different settings as many players prefer to play a game mode on different "eras", So Currently the user submits many experiences which are essentially the same with some different settings, this leads to the home page becoming very cluttered. So we are looking add "Variants" of a experiences that the user can add and they wont be show on the page by default.

        This task has major feature addition on both backend and frontend,

        • Frontend
          • Design or use the current decided UI to display that a experience has Variants
          • Think of a good way to show variants.
          • Come up with a workflow to submit/mark experiences as variants.
        • Backend
          • Create a relationship between the main and variant experience.
          • Update the form builder accordingly.
          • add a way to manage already existing experiences.
      8. Migrate to  AbstractUser     

        When I started this project I made a grave mistake of using default user model for everything, fast forward to today we maintain two models Users and Profiles which ideally should be one. In this task we will have to migrate every user to an CustomUser model that subclasses from AbstractUser. Tasks

        • Identify and replace every direct usage of User model with get_user_model.
        • Create a new Custom user and define a relationship with Profile model.
        • Write migrate strategy to migrate all current users to the AbstractUser model

        This is the basic overview of the task, a much detailed discussion must take place before starting with task.

      9. Add an Experience logic backup service     

        Each experience has two things a Share Code and a PlaygroundID, if a user provides their PlaygroundID we can retrieve all information about the experience using gametools api (opens in a new tab),

        Task: create a system or api where a user can provide PlaygroundID and we save the playground info and give them back a unique URL using which the user can later retrieve the info

        This is the basic overview of the task, a much detailed discussion must take place before starting with task.

      10. Create a per-branch deployment system     

        Just like how vercel auto deploys feature branch on subdomains, it would be nice to have a system same as that in our project too.

        This is the basic overview of the task, a much detailed discussion must take place before starting with task.
