9793479ce0 Documentation of how to publish the results of an election. 2014-02-10 18:34:35 -05:00
Bradley M. Kuhn
045b85b1ae Each election should only have one set of results; use UNIQUE to enforce. 2014-02-10 18:32:23 -05:00

54d0a4b5cb Actually, scrolling should be not necessary at all now, so I'm removing that text. 
<mina86> it will never scroll  [18:09]
<mina86> or I should say, unless you have *very* narrow browser window
<bkuhn> :)
<mina86> the names of the licences will wrap if it's too narrow  [18:10]
<mina86> and horizontal scroll will appear only if individual words in license
         names are too long

5667f10a3e [PATCH] Adjust step 2 page to use two-column layout. 2014-02-10 18:05:35 -05:00

ea2e2e9d9f Some users reported a problem of accidentally pasting in whitespace. 
The right fix, of course, is have the code strip whitespace, but this note is
a useful thing in the meantime.

6973681c5c Force color for input text to be #000 on #eee, 
instead of relying on default foreground color.
Thanks to pehjota for this comment:

<pehjota> bkuhn: In vote.css for "input[type=text]", you might want to set
          "color" in addition to "background-color".  Otherwise, with my dark
          GTK+ theme, I see white text in a light gray box, which is hard to
          read. :)

89126c6b38 Improve the text for Step 2/4. 
I'm trying to get a version of this text that is clear.  This is another
attempt.

OpenSTV's last known GPL release.

96683ddde9 Clearer instructions for how to handle the voting. 
This was primarily based on feedback from Richard Fontana, who said the
previous instructions were unclear.

I also figured it's better to refer to third party documents on what STV is,
rather than the vague description that was here previously.

13de6b65da The election_results table should be in the schema. 
I was unsure what field type to make the results, but reading this:
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blob.html
convinced me that I should probably make it "text" type.

f5872caf9d Choice lookup needs to happen here by the info we have, 
which is anon_token_id.
This adds the functions and code necessary to do that.
This is probably a bit of a hack.

a4a320a6b6 election_tmp_tokens table should be created by schema.sql 
This table, which is essential to the election, was not listed in the
schema.sql.  This adds a CREATE TABLE command for it.

dce402d2ad Create election_voters table & adapt code to use it instead of foundationmembers. 
foundationmembers was a table specific to the GNOME Foundation.  This new
table, election_voters, allows creation of an electorate based on a list.

README is updated to explain how to use this table.

cf3f3e5180 preference field belongs in election_votes table. 
It's clear from the PHP code that there should be an integer field called
'preference' in the election_votes table.  I suspect that at some point there
was an ALTER TABLE done that wasn't reflected in the schema.sql file.

35e87c2c65 Don't refer back to a list; just tell the user they must have election_id. 
This is probably not the right long-term solution.  Ideally, I think it'd be
useful if elections could be marked private or public, and elections that are
public would be listed automatically, and private ones wouldn't appear.

It seems there are some remnants in the code that make it look like someone
was going to make a step 0, which would list the elections from the database,
but that was never done.

So, I've hard-coded what I wanted here, in hopes someone else comes along and
does it up right.

f3fab42403 Make variables for name of committee running election and its email address. 
GNOME's Election committee was previously hard-code here, but the code is
more reusable if it is no longer hard-coded.  The variables still default to
GNOME's details, but can be overridden with the configuration file.
