*Weekly Report (29th June to 5th July) -*

*Aim* - Implement the spatial filter functions for the module.

*Things, I have done this week*

   - Tracing the query function call.
   - Query function Pipeline.
      - postgis_views_handler_filter_geometry.inc
      - views/handlers/views_handler_filter.inc
      - views/includes/handlers.inc
      - views/plugins/views_plugin_query_default.inc
   - Expose the "query->add_where()" function in
   postgis_views_handler_filter_geometry.inc
   <https://github.com/panwarnaveen9/View-Module-for-Cartaro-GSOC2014/blob/20964232f29365a6ff28f54c11b09244936f9eec/cartaro/profiles/cartaro/modules/contrib/postgis/views/postgis_views_handler_filter_geometry.inc>

*Comments*

   - I am still confuse which "where-function" we are supposed to expose.
   There are two functions:
      1. query->add_where()
      2. query->add_where_expression()

*Mentor Suggestions*

   - Due to network unavailability I was not able to connect with my
   mentor. I will discuss above issue with mentor and try to resolve it ASAP.

*Modified Timeline*
<https://github.com/panwarnaveen9/View-Module-for-Cartaro-GSOC2014/wiki/Code-Week-%237#Modified%20Timeline>

   - Developing the fully functional filter module take two more week.
   - I am planning to use 9th week's *buffer time* to complete the filter
   module.
   - I will give more updates on it in next week report.

*Things to do next week*

   - Boost up the work on filter module.
   - Understand the query functions customization in Views.

*Reference Modules/Files* -

   - handlers.inc
   <https://github.com/panwarnaveen9/View-Module-for-Cartaro-GSOC2014/wiki/Code-Week-%237>
   - views_plugin_query_default.inc
   <https://github.com/panwarnaveen9/View-Module-for-Cartaro-GSOC2014/wiki/Code-Week-%237>

*Am I blocked on anything ?*

Technically No, but this week I was held back by bad network connection.
