Sam & Alex @ Helloturtle

Today we have worked through the process of referring a friend to helloturtle! The process is as follows: When you go to the refer a friend page, you can add as many friends emails as you like to an email list then when your finished click 'send' and the referral emails will be sent to your friends email address. The email will include a unique code that only they can use. Once they have signed up to helloturtle.com and purchased their first card you will recieve some prepay added to your account, so the more friends you refer the more money you will get!!! They will also get some discount of their first purchase! This still needs to be fully tested and once it has gone live you'll be able to refer friends to your hearts content!......Happy emailing!

Fixed a bug with the Registration system today, also added some failsafe code into that script so similar issues should not arise...
Also did some bug fixing on the dev system - it is no longer possible to send a gift with no address!! It was only possible by creating a new account - not adding an address to it and sending a gift directly to yourself... It seems a silly thing to miss - but I use a development account on the development site - that has a full set of details to do the majority of my testing - only more thorough and random testing finds these bugs!

Today i've done some small bug fixes to the reminder emails, that now include gift details. Me and alex spent the afternoon starting to create the refer a friend feature that will add an amount onto your prepay for every friend you refer!

Updated the Login system again today, Some of you may have noticed that logging in - whilst in the card system - would result in the "mini basket" bar being removed - this is because that bar is updated on a refresh and refreshing those pages takes you back to the beginning! So we had used a little bit of code to remove the "login/register" buttons, so that it was obvious you were already logged in (and could not try to login again). Well I have updated this system to search for the basket values in a different way (as the old way had a couple of bugs in it) and also display these values (and the little blue basket logo) where the login button was displayed. This change is LIVE now!

Done some code tidying today - made a neat function that lets you click a card to add a gift. You choose your gift and quantity, it then takes all the details from the card and takes you straight to the basket, Simple!!

Spent most of the day at the prints - "training" the staff on how to use our bespoke software (they didnt need much training) and setting up more machines to handle the despatch side and gifts. They are a way off being able to do that - but at least they are there and semi set up. Also fixed the login system on the development site - will be on the live site soon, it just calculates the basket totals in a different way now
