1003998 - Document bulk issuing for admins to badgekit-api and badgekit-api-client

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Badges, defect)

Description

[inactivate account for kate]

Hive admins need to bulk issue badges to users (e.g. 400 hive community badges)

Let's do some UI for this

Comment 1

* Emily: is this possible? In scope? Who should we ask / assign this to?

Comment 2

[Emily Goligoski]

Erik has been helping with admin access. Everyone with @mofo addresses should have access, and how many non-MoFo addresses are you thinking will use BadgeKit for this, Robert?

Comment 3

[Robert Friedman [:omnignorant]]

I think the admins will *only* be mofos, and we're talking a dozen at *most*.

Kate is really the lead on this ticket, but the idea is that when we're ready to go, Hive would like to issue 400 badges via email all at once. The current system requires us to enter an email, click issue, enter an email, click issue, rinse and repeat ad nauseam.

We're wondering, can I just enter the 400 in a comma-delineated list and hit issue once? That might save a really shitty week's work for Hive (5s per issue for 400 is about 33 hours)... but I don't mean to add a weeks work for Webmaker crew either. I think this might be useful for future functionality, like after an event where many emails are collected.

I think the right solution here in the short term is for us to do one or two bulk issues with some manual bulk database insertions, and deal with UI later.

If you can prepare the CSV and email them to me/erik we can make it happen.

If we have extra time after the June launch, we can implement UI for admins as well.

@Robert this is for June, correct?

Comment 7

[Robert Friedman [:omnignorant]]

That sounds like a solid solution, I can def share a CSV. Yes, this is for June an beyond.

* Status?

[Erik Christensen [:christensenep][:echristensen]]

Still needed in badgekit-api, though I'm able to do bulk issuing with a script in the meantime.  This is more a performance improvement than actually a blocker, afaik.  But it is unquestionably something that badgekit-api should have.

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Ok. let's leave on the [sep19] train and push back if needed

Comment 11

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* I wonder if this is still actually needed -- or was more of a one-time, catch-up requirement
* I suspect the latter. 

* I'd like to mark this wontfix -- any objections?

Comment 12

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Talked to Michelle. This is a big win -- so yes, let's do it.

Comment 13

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Michelle and Lucy re-iterated today that this a key feature we should prioritize. Helps get us to 10K

Comment 14

[Erik Christensen [:christensenep][:echristensen]]

This is in a PR here: https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker.org/pull/982

I'm going to wait on flagging this for review, as it relies on PRs in two other projects (both of which are in review) shared by the Badge Alliance.  Once those are merged and deployed, I'll flag our side of things for review.  But it totally works!  Also, this will address https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046712.

Looks good, left a small comment re: help text. Also not sure why but travis seems to be erroring out.

Comment 18

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Sweet! we were just talking about the huge potential value of landing this  very feature :) 

* Now that this is done, let's get our colleagues to test
* GOAL: see if it meets their business requirements
* Flagging Amira, Lainie, Lucy to test this out
* Please ping Erik or someone in #webmaker IRC with questions

Bug 1003998 - Bulk badge issuing

Comment 20

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Erik or Kate: can you provide some documentation on how to use bulk issuing? 
* e.g., how can admins (like Lainie, Lucy, etc.) actually start doing bulk issuing?

* (Lainie: don't worry you won't have to use Git Hub to do this!)

Comment 21

[Erik Christensen [:christensenep][:echristensen]]

Sorry Matt, I somehow missed this request until needinfo yelled at me.  Will do this today.

Comment 22

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* The [oct3] train has now left the station. So please update the whiteboard with [oct17], or whatever train you're now planning to put this on. Thanks!

Comment 23

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Thanks Erik! Doesn't have to be perfect -- anything, even just notes in an etherpad, is fine

Comment 24

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* I'm assuming this ticket is now in the icebox. Meaning: no one is actively working in it further, until further notice

* please update if that's wrong

[Pomax]

Andrew, can you check what we want to do here given the new product plan?

Comment 26

[Chris DeCairos (:cade)]

Webmaker badges has been deprecated for a while now. We're working towards retiring the Webmaker Product on bugzilla, so I'm closing this issue.
