Development Blog - Branded Sites

Today I have been working on completing the last sections of code update for the basket to include the value of the gift cards/gift vouchers in the order total. the first section of code that required changing was the pre-basket preparation code that is run after the customer selects a method of postage and where to send the card.

Development Blog - New Look Update 2

So today I've been recoding part of the checkout basket on the rebranded version of the site to factor in the value of the purchased gift card. I was initially planning to call the gift card details (amount and gift card reference code) from the session variable where it gets stored at the beginning of the process, however, as soon as I started working on the code, I realised that that method would only work on single line purchases (i.e. customer adds one card to basket, and then completes the checkout proceedure) as the variable would only store the most recently selected gift card.
Instead I opted for modifying the order table to include the amount and reference as additional fields attached to a specific card in the basket.

Development Blog - New Look Update

So today I have been continuing work on the branded site for New Look, and have now finished re-skinning the main pages, and have updated the CSS from our main site to factor in a different colour palette (black and white instead of varying shades of green).

Development Blog - New Look

Apart from HelloTurtle.com itself, we are also working on branded versions of our system for various department stores that offer their own gift cards. The intention is that a custoemr will be able to buy a gift card for someone, and at the same time purchase one of our greetings cards to send that gift card in.
