This project is about improvements for script running on http://www.offershared.com/ .
REQUIREMENTS
Admin:
* Define sponsored levels ($0.5, 1 …) – could be as comma separated values in settings; = amount paid per day for listing a sponsored offer
* Make offer sponsored from backend (by admin): select from sponsored levels
* Set user as sponsor: select from sponsored level and all his offers will be added with that sponsorship level
+ also applies to old offers, so it can be used for changing or demoting
* New admin settings:
– limits for maximum number of active offers per regular account (100) and sponsored account (10000)
– maximum offer duration in days for regular account (30) and sponsored account (365)
Offers page:
* Display latests 5 offers from that merchant and View all… link that shows a page with all offers from that merchant:
+ Merchant offers page will be similar to category page:
http://offershared.com/offers/computers
Instead will have http://offershared.com/merchant/name
* Display offer tags (in left column) with links to tag pages (tags will be used similar to categories, except defined by user instead of admin: see below)
User:
* When adding offer, in addition to category, user can define a list of comma separated tags for his offer (& add number of maximum tags allowed per offer setting in admin configuration)
* Can define a rss/xml url to import (daily by cron) offers from rss (define xml tag names for retrieving ie. title tag will be retrieved from xml tag: name, same for description tag, link tag, won info tag, coupon tag, expiration time)
Will be used by merchants/partners to import offers from sources like http://www.codecoupondiscount.com/feed/rss.php?website=TemplateMonster.com
+ These are not posted to merchant’s twitter/fb to prevent flood triggers. Instead will post a link to merchant’s offers list with custom message: New offers: http://offershared.com/merchant/name
+ Limits (ie. maximum active offers per account, offer duration in days) also apply for imported offers – no new offers are added if maximum per account is reached
* User should also have login account details independent of Twitter/Facebook . Noticed you implemented these as different tables so it should be easy to implement:
+ User should be able to also signup with a regular registration form (user and pass) instead of TW/FB.
+ When signing up with TW/FB that should prefill his username and a site password should be generated and sent with the verification email (so he can also login with user/pass).
+ User can disconnect from associated Twitter / Facebook accounts and connect different accounts:
Would be great to include an (x) or (remove) link next to each of the listed registered (attached) accounts so user can easily remove FB/TW and add other. Clicking the (x/remove) should delete that info and show a (connect) link instead to attach his current logged in FB/TW account as it’s done when one is not present.
Frontpage and category pages:
* Tag cloud under offers list with top tags ie. vps(5), dedicated (3) (& number of tags to show setting in admin)
+ Tags will link to tag pages (similar to category page), that will also show tags of offers that also have that tag (related tags)
CODING
+ CSS must be used when defining the interface.
+ Latest twitter, facebook libraries must be used.
+ Code must be secure and safe from exploits (ie. sanitize variables before using in sql or paths, verify upload file types).
