Been working hard to make sure the gifts section is ready to be tested...
Functions sort out the packing, cards and gifts are set to "courier" for delivery. Gifts are always sent by courier - and cards are sent by courier with gifts - otherwise they are sent by the mail... This is now reflected in the code!
Many other little things have been changed - making the whole system much better. There is still a long way to go before release though... Expecting busy days in the coming weeks - especially Monday and Tuesday next week when Sam is on holiday!!
Hoping to do some testing at the prints for despatch notes on Monday. So for a good relaxing weekend!! Updates probably on Tuesday.

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!

Fixed a bug with the epic function written over the past couple of days by Sam and I. Was a nasty one to track down!!
Also updated the basket view for gifts (to show the packing your gift will arrive in!)
A few other background functions added in - such as updating the tables when gifts are bought.
Edited the Order History AGAIN to include gifts sent with cards. Needs a separate section adding for gifts by themselves. I will also change it to give a short gift description and show a picture (provided one is available) this will probably be another fancy box. (Although that page does have a few already... its either cluttered - or you click anywhere and we are going to show you something... or could do one item per page and it would be very impractical...)
Also added a new banner to the development site (courtesy of Jade) that will be rolled onto the live site with the gifts section! All in all << quite a busy day!

Spent this morning adding in google analytics code - much of it was not working previously!
Developed a function to choose the correct packaging for gifts with Sam this afternoon - not terribly exciting - but needs to be finished this week!

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!

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!
