Palisadoes foundation Work Report - 10th Oct

10thOctReport.md

Mobile App:

• Worked on Subscriptions tabs
• Problems Facing:
  • The subscription data in flutter is coming a form of stream and needs to directly rendered with a builder function in flutter.
  • I'm trying to find the most optimal way to do this.

Talawa-Admin:

• Adding the socket listeners on the talawa Mobile web version which is deployed on the 'url::talawa-admin.com/user' path
• It would be toggling the UI of the navbar based on the plugin status.

Advertisements:

Why Advertisements:

• Target Cliets: Church, Temple, Mosques, (Holy places in genral)
• Such orgs run on donation basis
• Adding Ads would allow 2 types of benefits:
  • Earning revenue for the org.
  • Companies having products related to such orgs they can directly target those customers.

How it would be implemented:

• The ads would be on mobile app in 2 ways:
  1. As a promoted post on the feed of Talawa User app:
  2. Like a banner adverstisement:
  3. A Pop-Up notification type advertisement:

How they would be managed ?

• The ads would be soley managed by the admin
• Admin would be responsible for the content that is promoted
• Admin have to bring his own advertisements
  • For ex. In Buffalo, New York, USA there's a Church named "ABC" managed by John doe.
  • If John doe want to earn revenue via the ads he have to reach out for it's own local adverstiers. _Palisadoes foundation is not involved in managing promotions.
  • He can charge his client on his own terms like $30/week for 150+ Users and Palisadoes foundation is also not involved with the transactions

How much ads would be shown and how they would be controlled ?

• I suggest to show 1 times a day default and not adding any option change that (resulting in stable user retention in future).
• Admin would be having an option in navbar regarding promotions:
• 

Technical Details:

1. Adverstiment document Schema:

advertisement:
{
 _id: ID,
 orgID: ID,
 name: String,
 link: String,
 type: POPUP | MENU | BANNER,
 startDate: Date,   # Day when the ads would be shown to user (Default 1/day) 
 endDate: Date,   # Last date to show ads.
 createdAt: Date,
 updatedAt: Date
}

What would happen after end date of adverstisements:

There are 2 ways to resolve this: 1. Keeping them in DB 2. Deleting the document by Adding a TTL (Link) to mongoDB doc and it would be automatically deleted.

APIs Required:

3. createAdverstisement()

   • The created doc with the given provided schema data values and stores in the database.

4. deleteAdvertisement()

• To be used if user accidentaly created that document and he wants to delete that

5. getAdvertisement()

• Used by the mobile app to fetch all the ads to show
• The would be filtered by the dates

How it would be utilized in mobile:

3 ways to handle this:

1. Popup ads:

   • The would show only after opening the app once for the user.

2. Promoted Posts:

   • Separate component on the mobile app would be created and users would be shown promoted post on the top.

3. Banner ads: - Banner component to be displayed on top of web pages.

Extra Notes:

1. Removing banner type of ads ?
2. What to do after ads duration ?
