One Community is working to transform the world through cooperatives of people making a difference. Our all-volunteer team is doing this through open source and sustainable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

We believe in a model that becomes self-replicating, one that will be used to create a global collaboration of teacher/demonstration hubs. What sets us apart is our dedication to open sourcing and free sharing the complete process, ensuring that our work contributes to evolving sustainability and creating a world that works for everyone. Join us in regenerating our planet…

Another core team member helped conduct HGN PRs testing, focusing on several key areas. Firstly, we addressed the ability for Admin roles and above to submit weekly summaries for other users and resolved the comments section, noting that the admin account encountered difficulties when attempting to submit a Weekly Summary for the Owner account, resulting in a ‘The data could not be saved’ pop-up message.

Secondly, we verified that the Task Tab remains the default tab for all account roles. Thirdly, we investigated a scenario where a user does not belong to any team and discovered that users with roles of Administrator, Manager, Mentor, or Assistant Manager cannot see their own tasks in this context.

Fourthly, we tested, confirmed, and resolved a PR related to updating the text in the Dashboard Badges section to display “You have earned x badges and a personal best of x hours in a week!” when this badge is earned.

Lastly, we checked permissions for a specific Admin account, which had WBS-related permissions (“See Project Management Tab (Add team members, upload new WBSs only)” and “Add WBS”), but despite having these permissions, there was still no ability to add WBS. Additionally, we confirmed the successful resolution of the other four PRs. See the image below to view this work.

This week, Jerry, a member of the Development Team, published BE PR #560, featuring an unauthorized route for integration into the beta HGN app and created FE PR 1375 to address the “Tangible Time Bug.” He also integrated ‘See All the Reports Tabs (Full Functionality)’ and ‘See Only Weekly Summaries Reports Tab’ permissions and discussed permission improvements with Nathan.

Hector addressed a .gitattribute issue causing uncommitted file display, began testing the application locally, and initiated work on a branch for the “location not available” modal. Roberto focused on resolving a delay issue between frontend and backend badge management, modifying component IDs and implementing cache clearing.

Bailey started tackling the New Personal Maximum Badge duplication issue and addressed badge image cropping. Mounica implemented authorization for the Weekly Summary Recipients modal, added backend functions for recipient management, and initiated the email distribution process. See the collage below for their work.
