Right NowCurrently, many student tickets for sale via Facebook.

Market is defined; other students only.

Lots of hit and miss. Inefficient way to meet sellers/buyers of tickets on Facebook.

Right Now ( cont.)Tickets are often sold in a matter of

minutes.No way to organize posts by game,

cost, location, etc.Problem of coordinating in real-time.Requires a lot of work on user’s part.

◦e.g. commenting on multiple posts.

Goals & Accomplishments

- Change how tickets are sold by students on campus!- Learn web development, Django

- Took a strong first step- Gained some experience

How We Built itLanguages- Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS

Web Framework - Django (uses Python)

CSS Library- Bootstrap from Twitter

Code: Django Modelsclass Ticket(models.Model):"""A ticket that students can exchange."""event = models.ForeignKey(Event)available = models.BooleanField()seat_location = models.CharField(max_length=20)sell_location = models.CharField(max_length=40)price = models.IntegerField()seller = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='+', null=True)buyer = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='+', null=True)creation_time = models.DateTimeField()

Code: Views@login_requireddef ticket_add(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = tix.forms.TicketForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): t = tix.models.Ticket() t.available = True t.seat_location = form.cleaned_data['seat_location'] t.price = form.cleaned_data['price'] t.sell_location = form.cleaned_data['sell_location'] t.event = form.cleaned_data['event'] t.creation_time = datetime.datetime.now() t.seller = request.user t.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/ticket/posted/')

Code: Availability Check{% for t in ticket_list %} {% if t.available %} <tr> <td>{{ t.seller.first_name }} {{ t.seller.last_name }}</td> <td>{{ t.seat_location }}</td> <td>{{ t.sell_location }}</td> <td><button class="btn btn-info" onclick="javascript:window.location.href='/ticket/buy/{{ t.id }}'">${{ t.price }}</button></td> </tr> {% endif %} {% endfor %}

Code: Email if form.is_valid(): subject = form.cleaned_data['subject'] message = form.cleaned_data['message'] sender = form.cleaned_data['sender'] cc_myself = form.cleaned_data['cc_myself'] recipients = ['[email protected]'] if cc_myself: recipients.append(sender) send_mail(subject, message, sender, recipients) return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')

Complications- Git commits, pulls, and merges- Constant updates to the Database- Deployment to Web Server- Unclear idea of vision for Android App

What we learnt

- First project built for other people.

- GitHub and collaborative code editing

- Team workflow and managing dynamics

- Designing own user authentication system is painful

Future Plans- Keep the site live; iterative improvements- Redesigned Android App- Facebook Integration for log in- Text messaging integration- Different sorts on website e.g. seat

section- View tickets by selling location(on Google

Maps)
