Testing a Mobilizon application in production?

Mobilizon Support
1

Hello,

I’m developing an application that interfaces with Mobilizon, in the same way as the various importers, and I’d like to know whether it is possible — rather, safe — to test this kind of application during development on production Mobilizon instances such as https://keskonfai.fr. I should clarify that the application I’m developing is intended to be read-only, with no write operations.

Thank you for your informed advice.

Hello,

I’d rather like no tests being done on Keskonfai.fr (which is my instance). But there is a test instance: https://tests.keskonfai.fr/

Could you describe a bit more what you’re about to do? I don’t get what you would import in read only mode.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks @Lahax for your answer.

I’d like to implement a search function that takes into account additional fields entered by event organisers. I’m also thinking of providing an event template to help with entering these additional fields (so perhaps it won’t be read-only). I’m not yet sure if this is feasible.

But perhaps these features are already being implemented? I haven’t thought to check.

Is there any additionnal step to fullfill to create an account on test.keskonfai.fr ?

I cannot open an account on this site because i do not receive any mail during the registration process.

Can you help me please @Lahax ?

PS : What are the limitations of test.keskonfai.fr mobilizon instance ? (if any)

Appologies for not linking this earlier: you have to go on Mailinator (Test environment · Wiki · Kaihuri / Mobilizon · GitLab).

Data might be refreshed at anytime. Besides that I don’t know of limitations, but appreciate very much if you share about your progress here. Which kind of fields for instance?

For now, I’ve implemented a version that reads the group ICS calendar, and it works.

I have an event description for a music jam that contains additional fields within the text.

Here’s an article that explains the concept, but it’s simple to understand and implement:

Here is an example that implements these recommendations:

If there is a more respectful way of incorporating your suggestions into a search filter with these additional fields, I will give the proposed option serious consideration.

I hope this is of some help.
