Project Week 3 Day 1

Today was a Bootstrap day and it was good. I managed to get most of my pages from the crappy looking CSS I had turned into a lovely bit of Bootstrap. The pages look good and less like an early 90s POS.

Even got excited enough to work on it more when I got home.

AND then, about the time I was ready to go to bed, wanted to send some screen caps to Matt and Isabelle... the login started to fail.

And I have NO idea why. It just failed. I traced the problem to the app not logging people in. I bet it had something to do with "session". About 30 minutes to an hour later, the damn thing started to work again. This was after I looked over code again and again, added testing print statements all over the palce, and quit/restarted. Talk about pulling my hair out.

I have NO idea why.

So the postive lesson today: I like Bootstrap
The negative lesson today: stupid things go wrong all the time.

Tomorrow, we have field trip to Intuit. It's in Mountain View, so I get to sleep in a bit. Yay! At any rate, I have to fix up one more page into Bootstrap, and then I have to start on the Javascript side of things.

1. I need to check that the component percentages add up to 100 and send an alert if it doesn't.
2. I need to adjust the weights to lbs/kilos.
3. I need to adjust the weights in case the percentages do not add up to 100
4. I need to be able to add more components dynamically instead of having a bunch of dropdown menus
5. Speaking of drop down menus, I need to get those to be fill-in forms as well as drop downs, but I think I found a help page that will show me how to do that in JavaScript.
6. I need to get the upload photo thing going
7. Need to get the comments/notes thing going
8. Most importantly, I need to get the Clay Planet price quote/message thing going. Uneditable message to CP.
9. Also, it was suggested that I add in a PayPal or Stripe payments thing going.
10. Encrypting the passwords
11. Resetting passwords

9 things to do. One week and about 3 days to do that in of which 2 of those days are going to be "vacation" because of Thanksgiving. And do the testing. Yeah... I can do it.

Not sure if that last bit was sarcastic or sincere...

Oh yeah... a few more things... the italicized stuff above. I should go to sleep before the list grows any longer.
