| 75 Chrome Shop - Shopping Cart Customization | |
 |
Client: 75 Chrome Shop Launch Project » www.75chromeshop.com Skills Used: PHP, MySQL, HTML, Javascript Project: For the 75 Chrome Shop site, the client wanted to use a premade PHP shopping cart module. In addition, a new design was created for the website by another graphic artist. I integrated the shopping cart with the new website design. I also made custom changes to the shopping cart code. For example, on the menu on the left that lists the product categories, I altered the code so that the menu can be expanded/collapsed to display subcategories. I also added the option for the client to choose "hot" items from the admin, and then those would randomly populate the three item placeholders in the Hottest Sellers tout on the homepage. I also did some custom changes to the search module; originally, the search box only searched the product descriptions. I added the functionality of searching the product SKU, the product id, the title, the category name, and keywords. In addition, the search string is seperated into words wherever there is a comma or a space, and the search is performed with an "OR" of these terms (by the client's request). Also, I added the feature that when a user selects a category and its subcategories are listed out, if an image (representing the subcategory) has not been selected by the client, then an image is grabbed from one of the products under that subcategory. This way, the client doesn't need to specify an image to represent every subcategory (there are hundreds of subcategories). |
