Engagements

nysenate.gov the website for the New York Senate strives to increase public participation in the legislative process. By facilitating efficient communication between individual New Yorkers and their senators.

Legislation

Implemented the Legislation section of the web site as the Law content type. Law pages are regularly synchronized with and mirror legislation.nysenate.gov the official system of record for nys laws.

Implemented the nys_statute module to display New York State Laws for the Law content type’s approximately 42000 pages.

Implemented the nys_statute_import module, a series of drush commands for managing and reporting on Law pages. The modules update-all-statutes command imports and updates pages in the Law content type.

Implemented the nys_statute_delete module to delete some or all Law pages before are re-importing and syncing. This is needed periodically to remove a whole law id because of a structural data changes.

Created the nys_statutes_feature drupal features module containing the configuration of the Law content type and its associated fields.

Schools

Implemented the School content type and a data importer for school data. School data is used in student submission forms.

Created the nys_schools drupal features module containing the configuration of the School content type and its associated fields.

Implemented the nys_school_importer module to import or update batches of schools into the School Content Type. The Source of the import is a set of .csv files. Senate district data on each school comes from the nys sage system.

Migration Research

Research on Drupal 8 migration requirements for the nysenate.gov site. Identified and documented available migration tools and methods in the nys wiki. Experimentally migrated nodes, field data and taxonomies.

Quality Initiatives

Removal of miscellaneous warnings.
Repeatedly repaired groups of warning and error messages emanating from nys custom drupal modules and theme templates. The sheer number of warning messages was diluting the ability to use the dblog to find more serious problems because of hundreds or thousands of duplicate warning messages.
The process used was to use the workout and exerciser modules to load and render pages. This would create lots of error and warning messages. The grouper reporting module was then used to aggregate all the similar warning and error messages and to identify and repeat the most prevalent issues which were then repaired. The exerciser, workout and grouper modules were contributed by Seth Snyder to drupal.org for any drupal site to utilize (see below) in the issue identification process.

Elimination of duplicate url aliases
Developed set of sql commands to eliminate of duplicate url aliases which were making up 70% of the url alias table in the database.

Developed Modules or commands that that are diagnostic, reports or audit quality.
The audit-report command in the nys_statute_import module is a set of seven reports about statutes. The audit-all-statutes command compares the quantity of laws of each Law ID between the 2 systems The identify command in the nys_picture module reports on property’s of image files like size etc.
The enhanced-styles-report command in the nys_picture module reports on enhanced image styles. The enhanced-file-report command in the nys_picture module reports on style derivatives of images. The enhanced-styles-summary-report command in the nys_picture module reports on image types. The not-on-server command in the file_audit module reports Managed Files not on the server.
The not-in-db command in the file_audit module reports on files that are not Managed Files.
The statutes-report in the nys_statute_import Compares the number of laws for each Law ID between the openly system of record and the nays web sites law pages. Differences are displayed.

Maintenance

Multiple identical errors on the same page are counted and and listed on single line representing the issue and how many times it occurred on a page. This replaces hundreds or thousands pages of error messages with a single page prioritized by the quantity of errors. Attempts to prevent the severe data overload of all the separate messages on the current dblog page.

Exerciser Drupal module: https://www.drupal.org/project/exerciser
Exerciser is a set of drush commands used to flush out error and warning messages that get created when pages are rendered for viewing. Exerciser Exercises (renders) every page of a content type. Exerciser can load pages on the same drupal server its loaded on or another server for the same site.

Workout Drupal module: https://www.drupal.org/project/workout
