Uniform package isn't maintained anymore. Fixing the forms (and following coments) will get the homelessness and public happiness activities platform back running again.

Review and bugs noticed after commit:

1. address doesn’t connect with address finder database. Anything you type is accepted and doesn’t appear to connect to any addresses database
2. Scroll up and down on form isn’t working. I have to zoom out to see the bottom of the forms.
3. Categories don’t expand when clicked. Its also not clear if they are selected or not when clicked as there is no visual confirmation. Expected behaviour: top level category expands to allow user to select the sub categories. When selected sub category should stay highlighted blue to show it has been selected.
4. Specific days of the week expanding area should have a time picker too, as if its on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. people will want to know what time.
5. 'Other options for repeating' should have:
   • 'weekly' 'monthly' 'yearly'.
   • selecting 'monthly' gives user option to select 'first, second, third, fourth' week of the month and 'on this date' or 'on this day'. For example it might be on the 15th every month, or it might be on the 1st Saturday. The time picker also is on the screen so users can set the time the activity occurs.
   • selecting 'yearly' give a month drop down, then the options from the 'monthly' tab, so maybe its on the 1st of September every year from 7:00 till 13:00. Maybe it's on the 1st Saturday on September every year at the same time.
6. Add a video dropdown doesn't show video hosts (youtube, vimeo, etc). It should also add the 1st part of the url into the url box below, and it should validate the final url they add to make sure users don't put something illegal in there. We force users to use established video hosts only as they check for that content with much better filters than are available to us, and also they'd be liable rather than us if it was a highly illegal video shared.
7. After posting there should be a third page confirming their post has gone live and with 'share to your social media' options. We don't know if this is working or not as we can't submit a form right now.
8. Some existing posts onto the map appear to be broken. Some work. We should clean up the database. Something to check after. There used to be a basic admin area. I'm not sure if it can still be accessed and used.

Google address autocomplete and lookup widget. This looks like the one @artysidorenko used:

@Marvelxy I think the most difficult task will be the repeating options. Hopefully there is something already built we can drop in to solve that.

@artysidorenko, I hope you're doing well. We had a lot of issues with the site, mostly due to Meteor not really being active any more, and a huge bug caused by mLab shutting down and their auto-migration tool really messing up the site. I very nearly gave up on it, but decided to give it one last go as the world needs a bit more kindness these days. Marvelous has been brilliant in helping get it back up and running, and we're really close now. Just fixing the forms and one smaller issue left to go.

I doubt you remember much about the build as it's been so long, but if you do remember anything that could be a help i'd love to hear from you.

(later we'll be migrating away from MeteorJS. We decided to fix the current version so users can use the sites, and then begin the big rebuild on a testing server)

Hi! I found this project on Up for Grabs and I'd love to help. I'm interested in working on this issue. Could you let me know which of the 8 bugs would be the best one to start with, or is there a particular one that's highest priority? Also, is there a dev environment setup guide I should follow? Thanks

Sorry for the delay @orjinameh. There's currently 3 of us working on this project, but the others would wait for me to reply and i'm going through some stuff at the moment so i put it off a bit.

This issue is actually complete. We have our up-to date issue tracking here: https://publichappinessmovement.com/c/web-developers/l/latest?board=default

You are very welcome to join the build. The current most urgent issues currently are:

1. Review the many security vulnerability messages we've received from outdated packages, up-date what you can and create a list of the ones which need a more in-depth fix/rebuild.
2. Setup our homelessness branch on its Digital Ocean server, with autobuild via Travis CI. It hasn't loaded up for a while.
3. Setup our testing/staging server, with autobuild via Travis CI, which also hasn't been operational for a while.
