So its Friday once again - and I am off to watch England (hopefully) qualify for the Euros!
but not before a quick update on the days activities! Working quite closely with Sam building the Gifts section at the moment and its starting to take shape - infact for certain instances you can choose a gift - and get it all the way to the basket - adding it to be sent with a premade card or sending on its own directly to a recipient or back to yourself (trying to cover every eventuality).
Hoping to write a function that deals with packing grouped items into a box. Or picking the relevant box/boxes to deal with any combination of gifts ordered. Thats a job for Monday - and thinking about how complex its going to be - probably Tuesday aswell!
HelloTurtle.com is the perfect place to buy and personalise greeting cards, High Quality Champagne, Wines & Spirits as well as many other gifts. You can also buy Baratti & Milano Italian Chocolates and beautiful Flower Bouquets to send to your loved ones for NEXT DAY DELIVERY! We have 1000s of exclusive designs and styles with a card for every gender and age, you won't need to go anywhere else! With just a few clicks all the hard work is done for you!

Working hard on the basket functions.
Functions set up to edit gifts with artwork and delete unwanted gifts from the basket
Also added in ability to see the gifts in the first place - as well as showing gifts joined to cards as such.
Lots more updates to come!

As Alex has stated in previous post we are currently creating the gifts section. While Alex is hard at work on the basket, i'm creating the gift pages that will link to the basket once you have selected something!
Alex @ HelloTurtle
So a big think about how the gifts are going to work took place today. (Such a mental strain infact that I now have a slight headache!). It was decided that I would start work on the basket integration for gifts, adding in all manner of extra functionality such as;
>>displaying gifts linked to cards with their relevant card
>>displaying gifts not linked to cards in their own seperate section with buttons to link them to cards.
>>ability to take a current card and add a gift to it through the gift system.
So far I have added in some code for gifts attached to cards, hoping to get most of the functionality inside the basket completed tomorrow, and add the relevant code to other files on friday so I can be ready to start something else on Monday. Arent plans fantastic?

With the release of HelloTurtle gifts getting ever closer, I have finally started turning my attention to the gift section of the site - and I am quickly realising the complexities of what I am about to undertake. Lots of fun things to figure out / decide upon - for instance - how do we hold stock for peoples basket orders? The database is ready to tie gifts to a card and detail the packaging.
Now we need to write a function that determines which packing to use (could be quite fun/challenging) as well as an ajax handling system to guide users start to finish through the gift system.

As always plenty to be getting on with here at HelloTurtle.
Almost got the Order History page to satisfaction now, users can edit their cards if they havent been printed yet - and they can edit which recipients address they are sending to - provided they are sending the card to recipient. (Also must be done before card printing - as the envelope needs that information!!)
Also had a few other little bugs to look into today, will sign off the order history page tomorrow and make that "fully live" and get around to signing off mail merge with a little hand from the boss.

Been working hard on the 'reminder' emails, which should be all finished first thing in the morning, then once they have gone live, you will recieve a 'reminder' email if you leave something in your basket, add an event to your calendar, or a year after you purchase a card for an anniversary!
