Add external links to Chapter Profile page

[brylie]

Chapter profile pages display the Chapter title and description. We would like to add a bit more information to Chapter profiles, such as:

links to

• social media
• chapter website

Task

• discuss what fields to add to the Chapter model (i.e. field names and types)
• add desired field(s) to Chapter model
• make migrations
• render field data in the Chapter profile template

Possible resource(s)

This might be a good task for the Wagtail StreamField, in that it would allow zero or more (up to perhaps three) links to be added to the Chapter. StreamFields support limiting the number of sub-blocks.

@brylie I would like to work on this issue. Lets start with the discussion of what fields are needed to be added in the Chapter model. Also can you give a bit of an overview as to what the chapters app is supposed to do or what is it related to?

[brylie]

The idea for "chapters" is basically groups of people that share a geographic location. E.g. people from the same country or city.

https://github.com/brylie/wagtail-social-network/blob/e2d3d01bfaae6bbac56421058235fbc7eba1c984/project/chapters/models.py#L36-L51

As food for thought, we could start more generic and just model groups and then later create a chapter sub-type that inherits from group. I am thinking about how the Codebuddies.org project is organized into Groups and Hangouts. Groups on Codebuddies.org are topic-focused, like Python Programming (group).

@brylie So here's what I understood, basically the base model group will have attributes like name, members, and some methods as well like join, delete, etc. Now when chapters would inherit from the group, it would be adding extra features, like region or continent to the group. But the base group could be inherited in the future by different models like countries or sports etc. Is my thinking right about it?

[brylie]

Yep. That way people can form groups around various interests, topics, etc.

We would use a many-to-many relationship for group membership.

@brylie Assign me to this issue, I would like to work on it

[Upasanadhameliya]

@brylie Now that one pr has been merged, would you like to add some more features to chapters? Are there any tasks remaining? If so, feel free to discuss further about it.

[brylie]

We can still add a "website" field to the Group model, as per the issue description.

Similarly, issue #12 might be interesting.

I will open a draft pr shortly in order to add the social media links
