Mongogdb, a NOSQL database was used used to store data using key value pairs.

The ERD below shows the 3 collections and the relations between them
-
The ERD was designed *using dbdiagram.io

A pdf of the wireframes can be found here, by clicking on the download button in Github. (Please Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view files in pdf format).
The webiste's design and layout is based on fonts, colors, wireframes, images and icons.

Initially there was to be a comments functionality, where users can comment on other treks from the show_post.html. users could also be able to edit and delete their comments.
I had a comments collection in the database, however after so many trials and failures, including support from fellow students, I was not able to get the results I expected.
python code - Below is the basic py code from which I developed so many variations and still failed to implement the comments for this project and will be done at a later stage.
@app.route("/add_comment", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def add_comment():
if request.method == "POST":
comnt = {
"first_name": request.form.get("first_name"),
"comment": request.form.get("comment")
}
mongo.db.comments.insert_one(comnt)
flash("comment added successfully")
comment = mongo.db.comments.find()
return render_template("add_comment.html", comment=comment)
- The commets section was taken out and replaced with edit and delete functionalities on the show_post.html
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript
- Python
