Group members: Angela Xiang, Freeman Cheng, Christopher Jung, Ifaz, Austin Blackman, Tony He, Idris Tarwala, Hasti Toossi.

Running Instructions

Pull from https://markus.teach.cs.toronto.edu/git/csc207-2021-05/group_0014 and open the project in Intellij. To run program first install the GSON library: in Intellij go to Project structure and install GSON library from Maven (com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5) as well as the apache library (org.apache.commons:commons-text:1.9) also from maven.

To run the program, go to PhaseTwoMain.java and run.

UML diagram is included as a PNG and as a UML file.

Overview of Functionality

The program is an event creation system.

Users can:

  • Trial the system
    • Create events but do not save
    • View other's events but cannot interact with them
  • Create an account
    • Choose to be admin or regular user
  • Log in to their account
  • Log out of their account
  • Create an event based on existing templates
    • Change the privacy status of their event to private, public or friends only
    • Delete their events
    • Edit their event
  • Attend events created and published by other users (and their own)
  • Unattend events that they've attended
  • View their own events
  • View other user's published events
    • Separated into ones they're attending and ones they are not
  • Edit Account info
    • Change their username
    • Change their password
    • Change their email
    • Delete their account
    • Change from regular user to admin
  • View all other users in the system
    • Friend/Unfriend each user
    • Message any user
  • Receive announcements from the admin
  • Message admins
  • At any point, type "back" to return to a previous menu or if they are on a menu, they can choose the go back option on the menu.
  • Save everything/all data

Admin Users Can

  • edit templates
  • create new templates
  • suspend/unsuspend users
  • suspend/unsuspend events
  • send announcements to all users
  • see a shared inbox for admins
  • make another user an admin

The System

  • All information is saved into files (now including menus) that is human-readable
    • Files can be edited externally
  • All read into the program automatically

Design Decisions and Notes

  • Admin users have all the same permissions as a regular user plus they can edit template names

    • They do not have to go back to a different "regular" account to do things

  • Trial users can only create events and view events, but they cannot attend or save their event

  • Events have custom fields that are determined by the template used to create it

  • Templates are abstract and new templates can be added from files (without changing the code)

  • Templates are a collection of fields. Each field can be specified independently and the number of fields is very flexible.

  • Events are created based on a template but once the event is created, it no longer depends on the template

  • When a user gets suspended, their events are automatically turned to private so other users can no longer see them.

    Once a user is unsuspended, they will be able to manually edit the privacy status of their events to change it to what they desired.

  • We completely changed the way menus work in our system. Now they are no longer hard-coded and are read into the system from a file like all of our other entities.

  • The way we determine what users see in the menus has also been changed so now we have a more dynamic version and what users see can easily be changed through a file as well.
