On The Job Training (Week 10)

 10th Week

This week started with a short meeting with Ma’am Llovido and Sir Cedric to check the progress of the CMS. I found a helpful plugin called Post Grid that lets us display articles dynamically on the article pages. It also works with Elementor, making the layout look better and easier to manage. We even added it to the homepage so that every time a new article is posted, the page updates automatically. Since there were no official articles yet, we used test articles to check if the plugin worked and it did.

Later in the week, we received the final articles from the CSSP students and began uploading them. Each division got at least one article so we could test if everything displayed correctly on the homepage. We were also called by Sir Mike to visit the main campus where he shared the plugins he used for the CMS and gave us advice on setting up the scorecard. My teammate added another plugin called PostX to design pages that Elementor can’t edit easily, like the search page. This helped improve the search results layout, making it cleaner and easier to read.


By Friday, we began setting up the scorecard system. We made a GitHub repository and added each other as contributors, just like we did with the old Laravel CMS. We are now using Tailwind and Laravel’s latest version, which already includes a sidebar a very useful for the layout. We're also using Filament to speed up the backend development. Another task we handled this week was designing the program schedule for the meeting at Hotel Lucca. We reused design elements from our tarpaulin to save time. Even on Saturday, we chose to continue working at RDE to catch up on missed days and took advantage of their solar power during a province-wide blackout.

On The Job Training (Week 2)

Second Week  Day 5 (February 11, 2025) On Day 5 of this week, we continued digitizing progress report documents provided by our mentor. In the afternoon, we had a discussion with Ma’am Llovido regarding the plans and necessary steps to initiate and complete our mentorship plan. We also addressed concerns about the current system development that we will be supporting. Day 6 (February 12, 2025) On the sixth day, our focus was mainly on scanning documents and consulting the previous batch regarding the system’s progress. We also had a discussion with Ma’am Joy about the possibility of refactoring the system. While she acknowledged that it was feasible, the looming deadline posed a significant challenge. To gain more insight, we reached out to the former OJT students, and they told the same concern. Refactoring would require them to relearn the entire codebase while still racing against time to complete the project. Given these circumstance, we ultimately decided to work with the exis...

On-The-Job-Training (Week 1)

Image
 First Week Day 1 The first day of our on-the-job training (OJT) was a mix of excitement and nervousness as we stepped into a new environment. We began by meeting our mentors, introducing ourselves, and getting to know them. Shortly after, we attended the orientation where Computer Science (CS) students presented their ongoing project in RDMD—one that we would be assisting with throughout our training. Following the demonstration, another orientation took place, where we were assigned tasks based on our skills and expertise. This allowed us to see where we could contribute and what we would be learning. Afterward, we took a group photo with the CS students and had a discussion about their system, gaining insights into its development and future improvements. Day 2 On the second day of our on-the-job training, we started by discussing as a team the best approach to accomplish our assigned tasks. Collaboration was key as we explored different strategies to ensure efficiency and accur...

On The Job Training (Week 9)

 9th Week This week, we continued working on the CMS using WordPress. On Monday, we made changes to the Division Pages like RDMD, PKMD, IPMD, EMD, and the centers. Instead of making separate “About Us” pages for each sub-division, we just added their details to the main division pages. This made the site easier to use and more organized. Since Tuesday was a holiday, we had a break from our OJT and resumed work on Wednesday. On Wednesday, we worked from home because of a power outage in the office. We used Discord to talk to each other and Messenger to reach out to the CSSP students. We spent the day adding content to the CMS as we waited for the materials made by CSSP. On Friday, we added more content and updated the “Historical Background” section. Since all divisions had the same background, we placed it on the homepage. Later that day, we also helped move some shelves and papers around the office. After that, we were treated to some pizza as thanks.
