Task Request

Pull Requests

Implementation

https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/125 - the base codes. Add a dropdown button to the StoryFooter's Buttons component and add a predetermined list of fixed SP values.

Refactors

https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/133 - updated the Custom SP link and display it as an input field
https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/135 - extract the Delegate codes and define it as a react component

Bug Fixes

https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/127 - display Delegate button only to certified uloggers
https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/130 - rollback a portion of a previous commit and use the latest codes from steemscript that includes app info for ulogs instead of a released (v1.0.2) version.
https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/137 - add handling (flag) to control display of Delegate button in the feed and the post
https://github.com/surpassinggoogle/UlogsV2/pull/138 - added condition to display button to certified uloggers


As written in the PR list above, this contribution is a mix of new codes, refactor, and bug fixes. After creating the badge, certified uloggers now get this perk of allowing other people to delegate to them.

Developing this feature took a lot of trial and error because of a limitation I encountered when using a SubMenu component cascading from a Dropdown's Menu.

The Custom SP input worked when the dropdown menu was displayed directly under the delegate button, but loses this intended behavior when the SP values were displayed as a SubMenu - it automatically closes the SubMenu when you click on the Custom SP input field.

I also had a hard time understanding how busy displays posts in a modal dialog and why the dropdown menu does not display in it. I'm suspecting it's related with z-index. This is for further investigation.

Feature in Action

Lesson Learned

I thought this feature was a simple adding of a Delegate component to StoryFooter, but looking at the history of the PRs, that was not the case.

To provide a better user experience, I decided to enable it on the feed where it functions properly and disabled it inside a post (modal and non-modal).

Not everything goes as planned. Sometimes you need to compromise.

Thanks for the contribution, @eastmael! When I saw the task request I thought it was a relatively simple task, but it seems like it ended up being trickier than I thought. Great job on completing it and good luck with your investigation regarding the modal dialog!

Thank you bro. The other task was quite easy. Not complete yet but the person could do most of it a some hours, cos @eastmael has already added the delegate button with this task and the contact button just needed replicating the transfer button with some word change. And you know the interesting testimony which is kudos to utopian. He isn't a steemian yet but i was able to talk about steem and all and about utopian and give him resources etc. Basically, he found utopian's reddit page and that is how he joined the discord there and i ended up speaking with him and i explained the micro-task thing and the hierarchy and what he needs to replicate etc and he was able to reach somewhere and understands steem better now. His name is @sleepy on utopian incase he needs further guidance. He must have signed up for steem, maybe not approved yet.

Thank you for your review, @amosbastian!
