@ajefts Which repo does host related code?

[ajefts]

@birdofpreyru That's part of what we call the "/tc" app, which is still in subversion: https://coder.topcoder.com/internal/web_module/trunk/src/main/com/topcoder/web/tc/view/copilot/copilotPool.jsp

[Sande3p]

The fix is quit easy just 2 lines of css: https://gyazo.com/6470a4d65244caa952abc64735170d8c

  max-width: 140px;
  max-height: 140px;

But the biggest challenge is where to find css/copilot-pool.css & redeploy to server

[birdofpreyru]

This .css file should be in the repo hosted in subversion.
So far I have not figured out how to deal with that (deployment of that for local testing is quite an adventure :)

[Sande3p]

how the get access to this repo?
few years ago I fixed some similar issue & tested on JBoss server EC2 VM.
to depoly used ant build.
Not sure it's the same server or different

[birdofpreyru]

@Sande3p If you don't have access with your TC credentials via the link above, @ajefts can promote your permissions. Alternatively, I think I can upload a copy of that repo here to GitHub (but it surely will take some time).

Yeah, I've tried with ant build but it demanded some other code, which was not part of the repo, and I had not access to it back then. I got the access now, but have not tried again yet. I guess, after that there is a challenge how to configure that build to use the local Informix database, and how to set Informix up?

[Sande3p]

The above link only display a single page.
I think the style.jsp contains desired server-path to the css file. https://gyazo.com/765dd6f932a78c304865ddac1a4819a1

[birdofpreyru]

@Sande3p Yeah, but you can explore the parent paths. Actually, the root of the repo is https://coder.topcoder.com/internal/web_module/trunk My experience with Subversion is about zero, but I've found that you may fetch it using git svn command (which works similar to usual git). It takes some time (few hours) to pull the whole repo, but then you can comfortably handle its local copy on your machine.

[Sande3p]

Is it possible to use winscp?
hostname? & port?

[birdofpreyru]

I don't know.

[Sande3p]

Finally I manage to checkout the code.
Do you think Tpocoder VM is required or we have to test it locally?

[birdofpreyru]

I don't know :) In fact, if you know about TopCoder VM, or local deployment of the code from that repo, you may instruct me how to do those ;)

[Sande3p]

I don't know much about the back-end but the contest spec. of this contest may help:

What is the status of this one @birdofpreyru? Thanks

[birdofpreyru]

@vbaileytopcoder No progress :( As you see above, the fix itself is clear and trivial, but I and participants who participated in the BugBash did not know how to build/test/contribute to the legacy TC site, which hosts the copilots listing.

I believe, @ajefts is aware of this situation, that there are multiple fixes and enhancements related to the that legacy TC site which community can do, if we get a brief on how-to deal with the existing codebase.
