Challenge Overview
In this challenge, we want to add a confirmation modal window when user creates or saves a draft challenge
- The confirmation message will be visible for design and development challenge types but not data science.
- The message content is "Draft challenges scheduled to start in the future are visible in the upcoming challenge section of topcoder.com. Visible details include the challenge name, prizes, timeline, platform, and technologies. Change these details as needed before saving the challenge as a draft."
- The modal window should have 2 buttons and the a checkbox
- Save as Draft - Clicking this button will continue to save the challenge.
- Cancel - Clicking this button will interrupts the save as draft process and closes the modal window.
- "Don't show this message again" checkbox - user checks this checkbox, it will no longer display this confirmation message to user any more in the furture.
- The "Don't show this message again" checkbox value should be saved as a new user preference, refer to tables common_oltp:user_preference, preference_lu, preference_type_lu, preference_group_lu and preference_value
- ���Please have a new preference group called "TopCoder Direct Preferences"
- UserPreference EJB service shall be used to create / update / delete the preference value.
- The preference is saved per user.
- The preference udpate should be done by ajax request when user check / uncheck the checkbox.
- The modal window should be displayed the same as showConfirmation modal window.
