| # QR Attendance & Certificate Generation Module Plan |
|
|
| ## 1. QR Attendance |
| - [x] Integrate QR scanning in host dashboard. |
| - [x] On scan, call backend to mark attendance. |
| - [x] QR Scanner component exists at `Frontend/src/hostdashboard/QRScanner.jsx` |
| - [x] Backend endpoint `/api/hosts/scan-qr` implemented |
|
|
| ## 2. Certificate Generation |
| - [x] Add option in event creation to enable certificates. |
| - [x] Modal for host to upload participant data (CSV/Excel), signatures, and designation. |
| - [x] Allow template selection/upload. |
| - [x] Backend endpoint to receive uploads and trigger certificate generation. |
| - [x] Use `/ML/certificate_generator/generator.py` for batch certificate creation. |
| - [x] Store generated certificates and provide download/email options. |
| - [x] Complete Certificate Management UI component created |
|
|
| ## 3. Certificate Distribution |
| - [x] API to fetch/download certificates for users. |
| - [x] Optionally, email certificates to participants. |
| - [x] Download endpoints implemented |
|
|
| ## 4. Admin/Host Controls |
| - [x] Dashboard to view certificate status, re-generate, or re-send. |
| - [x] Complete status dashboard with participant tracking |
|
|
| ## 5. Security & Validation |
| - [x] Validate uploads (file type, size). |
| - [x] Ensure only hosts/co-hosts can trigger certificate generation. |
| - [x] QR code expiry and single-use validation |
| - [x] Per-event QR verification (scan must match event) with unlimited scans |

|
| ## Integration Points |
|
|
| ### Certificate Generator API |
| - Base URL: `http://localhost:8000` (configurable) |
| - Endpoints integrated: |
| - `/upload-template` |
| - `/upload-logo` |
| - `/upload-signature` |
| - `/config/*` |
| - `/generate` |
| - `/download/{filename}` |
|
|
| ### Backend APIs |
| - `/api/hosts/scan-qr` - QR attendance marking |
| - `/api/certificate-management/events/:eventId/*` - Certificate operations |
| - `/api/events/my-qr/:eventId` - User QR retrieval |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## Next Steps for Deployment |
|
|
| 1. **Environment Setup** |
| ```bash |
| # Add to .env |
| CERTIFICATE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000 |
| ``` |
|
|
| 2. **Start Certificate Generator** |
| ```bash |
| cd ML/certificate_generator |
| python api_main.py |
| ``` |
|
|
| 3. **Install Dependencies** |
| ```bash |
| cd Backend |
| npm install axios form-data |
| |
| cd ../Frontend |
| npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled |
| ``` |
|
|
| 4. **Database Migration** |
| - Event schema already supports certificate settings |
| - No migration needed, backward compatible |
|
|
| 5. **Testing** |
| - Test QR scanning flow |
| - Test certificate generation end-to-end |
| - Verify asset uploads |
| - Check permissions |
|
