This is a follow on from my last project. Please see if for details.
Also please take a look at http://www.carsindoha.com/index.php to see the current condition of the code. It is important that you use the PHP index, otherwise you’ll just see the holding page.
I need several modifications and fixes which I will do my best to list in detail as my client has requested them. I can provide the raw code of the last project before I began integrating it into the site. Essentially you will be working with someone else’s code for a lot of this project. You will also have to alter the database, and possibly create new tables.
– I am using fusion news to display news on the front page. My client would like the short story version with the headlines to scroll dynamically. Hopefully this can be done with code from Dynamic drive.
– When cars are searched for using the ‘showrooms’ page, my client would like their banner to appear at the top of the advanced_search.php page, just below the search form.
– My client would like the brand logo of all the car makes to appear in the detail view when a record is clicked. I believe he might want it for the records view as well. He will need to be able to add these himself to the database, with the admin interface.
– On the detail view, we need a print option (of just the information and pictures on the detail view). And an email to friend option.
– My client wants a page identicle to the ‘showrooms’ page, but for car rental companies. It would function in the same way as the showrooms page. Which is that when you click on a showroom banner, you will be redirected to the ‘advanced_search’ page with a list of cars available from that showroom. It will be exactly the same for the car rentals page. This includes the backend in the admin section, where my client can add rental companies and their logos.
– A bug in the advanced_search.php page is preventing cars being automatically listed cronologically. This should happen automatically when no search criteria is selected.
– A section is needed that will allow my client to add records for taxis. Including a photo of the taxi. I’m not 100% sure of this is needed yet.
– I need a multi-purpose contact page. It is already partly set up but not tested. The first option is for people to sign up and be emailed when a car fitting their search critera for cars is posted on the site. This part has alerady been done, but I was not told how to set up the cron jobs for it.
– Secondly on the contact page, I need an option where people can contact the site if they wish to use the ‘Car Finder’ service my client wishes to offer. This will draw on the database alerady set up for the various search options. Importantly for this, my client would like a way to charge money for this through the web site, I will need advice on the best way to set this up.
– Thirdly for the contact page, I would like an option on the contact form where you can contact the site owner about advertising on the site, with a selectable option for which advert zone they wish to use (main banner ad, side banner ad).
– Finally a bog standard ‘general enquiries’ option.
– This form would change dynamically depending on which option is selected. Also if someone has navigated to the contact page from the advertising page, that option should be automatically selected in the contact form. Same for ‘car finder’ service, and so on.
At the end, I will require all the files as well as the SQL for building the database using PHPMyAdmin.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this project, I realise it seems vague in places. I am merely trying to translate my clients requests as best as possible. Please feel free to ask questions, I do my best to try and reply to everyone. I am not looking to pay any more than $300, obviously I’d like any quote to be in the range of the quote I got for the original project.
Look forward to hearing from you all!
