Goal

To fix the Frontend of the Taskmaster App and get it usable again.

Notes

The Taskmaster App will be essential to helping me track progress on my New Years resolutions. On New Year's day I noticed that the task app wasn't working on the front end (none of the buttons were responsive or changing the state of the site). Today I'm going to fix this up so I can start to add my new tasks relevant to my new years resolutions.

The first thing I wanted to check was whether the buttons were being activated in the Javascript commands. In doing this, I actually found out that the reason it wasn't working was because I wasn't serving the JS files to the webpage (i.e it wasn't found in the "source" tab of the Developer Tools).

I was able to fix this by adding the extra_js block to the end of the base.html template.

I also wanted to double check that the About App's interactive UL chart didn't double-draw the SVG graph and it worked fine. That was a relief!

Results

• Fixed the Taskmaster App to allow the Javascript to load properly by adjusting the base.html template
