SensioLabs Connect, a week later
To celebrate our 1000th user on SensioLabs Connect in a week, we have just rolled out a new version that takes into account some of the feedback we had from the community after the launch.
First, and by popular demand, we now support Gravatar for profile photos (this is in fact the default now if you don't upload a photo).
We have worked on the email confirmation problems (we should be whitelisted now in various databases) and you can now even get a duplicate of the confirmation email if needed.
The most important news of course is the new badges that we have added to the system:
The first 100 registered users were awarded a unique badge to thank them for being fast (sorry for the others, this badge won't be awarded anymore);
The attendees of all Symfony Live Conferences have also been awarded a badge;
Finally, some badges have been awarded based on the seniority in the community.
You can see most of them on my profile.
The Symfony Live Conference badges and the seniority badges are awarded based on a match between your email on SensioLabs Connect and the one you used when registering on various websites (symfony-project.org, symfony-live.com, forum.symfony-project.org, groups.google.com, ...). To be clear, if the emails do not match, you won't have the badge. Hopefully, we have added a way to link additional emails to your account just for this purpose (they allow us to better track your past community achievements). So, go your account, add the emails you used previously on these websites, and soon enough, you will gather more badges!
Many people asked us for the OAuth2 documentation and how they can connect to the system. Frankly, we didn't expected such an interest so early after launch; so we are far from ready yet but we are working hard to make it available as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we have started to work on a public API. You can now get
public profiles via JSON by adding .json
at the end of any public profile
(like in https://connect.sensiolabs.com/profile/fabpot.json).
Stay tuned as we have many more exciting features in the work.
Help the Symfony project!
As with any Open-Source project, contributing code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of sponsoring opportunities.
Comments
Comments are closed.
To ensure that comments stay relevant, they are closed for old posts.
Anyway, it's an excellent service!
Anyway thanks for all your work and bringing some fun in unlocking badges :)
Currently the Loginform on the left on https://connect.sensiolabs.com/login does not show you if you mistyped your password or username, it just shows the page with the form again.
Does not happen on the login-form in the upper-right corner here: "https://connect.sensiolabs.com".
Feature: Showing the user whats wrong after submitting forms
In order to know what I do wrong
As a user
The SensioConnect Loginform should tell that I did something wrong
Scenario:
Given I am not loggend in on Sension Connect
And I did not yet allow "symfony.com" as a Connection
And I am on "http://symfony.com/blog/sensiolabs-connect-a-week-later"
When I press "connected" # Then I am on https://connect.sensiolabs.com/login
And I enter username
And I enter wrong password
And I press "Sign in"
Then I should see "Your Username or Password is wrong"
However, when i completed my profile, I never received any 100% completion badge, and I still haven't despite uncompleting it and completing it again.
I'm guessing there might be more of us out there with the same problem?
Thanks for the efforts to facilitate community growth.
Cheers!
At least looking in the source-code the breaks are still there :)
+1 for company profiles;
What about "3 years badge" on my profile ?
BTW, how did you get the information about "how many years involved in [s|S]ymfony ?" ?
But why the .json ending and not a nice Accept header? Also it would be awesome if you could add CORS support for the public data.

Good job! Keep it up. :)
+1 company prfiles
Have connect.sensiolabs.com the ability to scan non english communities?
e.g. on the public profiles line breaks in the biography/about won't show up, nl2br() pls
Otherwise great work!
Will additionally linked E-Mail addresses be used for badges too (e.g. work e-mail used for conferences)?
Funny though that I seem not to have attended sflive2010.. :)
You should also look at the password reset function, right now you can enter anyone's email to reset their password.
Should be great to have "friendship" between members and an easy way to search them...
And is there badges for github pull requests and other contribution on github ?
The API is a great idea, I'll check with the team to put our badges on our website.
Nice work as usual...
I would like to have friendships/contacts á la linked.in as well.
Club and contact Suggestionen would be nice, too.
