/****** Data.txt Format *******
- This file is used to allow you to quickly login to the kudoboard site
- automatically and gives the application some important information needed for
- it to run
- Line 1: First Name
- Line 2: Email
- Line 3 Password
- Line 4: The amount of assorted posts to generate not including the mandatory posts
- Line 5: The major (IST, SRA, HCDD, CYBER, ETI, DS)
- Example:
- Lamar
- [email protected]
- Password123
- 7
- Cyber
Each major should have its own folder within Utils, in each folder should be a names.txt and a randomNames.txt
******* names.txt Format *******
- This file contains the mandatory names to be included in every kudoboard.
- These are the mandatory posts required for every kudoboard of this major.
- For example, at this time every Cyber student kudoboard requires posts from
- Steve, Dr Gines, Jeffery Bardzel, Angela Miller, Joanne Peca, and Dr. Giacobe
- This file should contain a list of names (one per line) written exactly as they
- are written in the spreadsheet. This includes any and all punctuation.
- The application reads data from the spreadsheet and it's critical these names
- are written in here verbatim
******* randomNames.txt Format *******
- This file contains the "bank" of names to be used as the assorted names in each
- Kudoboard. In addition to the mandatory posts in each board there are also
- other posts included from a variety of different students, staff, faculty, and alumni
- Use this file to list the names of those wish to be included in the "bank" of names
- the application will choose from when picking random posts to include.
- For example, if you have marked that you would like 5 random posts in the data.txt
- file it will find 5 names at random from the randomNames.txt and include theri posts
- in the kudoboard. The format is the same as names.txt
****** Kudoboard.csv *******
- The format of the smartsheet at the time of writing had the author names in
- the second column and Welcome statement in the third column. This is the only
- requirement for this file.
- This can be downloaded from the smartsheet online as a csv file. Ensure it is
- named Kudoboard.csv
******* img folder ********
- This folder should contain images to be included with each respective kudoboard
- post. Each image should be named after the name of the person whose kudoboard
- it represents. For example, Lauren Pearl's picture for her post should be named
- "Lauren Pearl" the extension is ignored during reading so it is okay if it is a
- jpg/png/jpeg etc.
******* students.txt ********
- This should contain a list of each student to be receiving a kudoboard on each line (first and last name on one line)
- The format is the same as names.txt
