Create Other .php Webpages Based on The Template We Created

Build Service to Provide Real School Data

Build a Service to update your database tables with real school data.

Index.html needs to be renamed

Index.html doesn't work as a default homepage.

See more about Directory Indexes and how to change which formats are supported:

Add .DS_Store to git ignore.

Petition Page: Lead Banner

Creating the banner for each individual petition.

Front-End styling

The front page, as it is now is devoid of style, such as dividers which would appeal to the eye. I don't think we should go overboard, as we inky have two days. Just add a description, and knock out some other points from the rubric.

Make Footer for Webpage

Universal drop down

One drop down, starting with the first drop down such as colleges, and then once an option is selected, the drop down switches to the next set of options. For example: College>Degree_type>degree>other_options

Generate Mock School Data

Make tables in the MySQL database with mock data representing colleges users might want to attend, with corresponding costs for various degrees.

The data should be semi-realistic, e.g. you might want to use University of Tennessee over Hogwarts.

This task is not to hook the database up to services that provide the data - just for you to make manual inserts into your database to give practical test data.

Hookup Dropdown Options to Database

Populate the Dropdown options with data from your MySQL tables instead of static content.

This depends on issue #14 being completed.

Portability from Desktops to Mobile Devices

Dropdowns Don't Save Selection

The title says it all.

Home: Body

The body of the home page.

Function to only display degrees that each college offers.

For example, let's say Yale doesn't have an associate degree, then that degree isn't displayed.

Petition: Back-End/Data(Full)

The completed petition engine.

Petition Page: Body

The formatted text section on petitions.

Petition: Back-End/Data

The basics of the page's petition engine, such as the core PHP and the database it collects from, and a simple system to send and store data.

Create a result page

Taking input and turning it into output using the database and PHP.

Include Bootstrap in Repository

Return Output from Database on Submit

When the User has selected dropdown options, query the database for the costs and output those costs.

Global: Body

The design portions of each site, such as footers and header styles.

Global: Header Navigation

Creating the Global Navigation Header.

Back-End: Security Concerns

Research security concerns with the website.

Add Dropdowns

There need to be dropdowns to allow users to select which school to attend, and which degree (or how long).

See bootstrap's documentation for implementing a basic dropdown:
http://getbootstrap.com/components/#dropdowns

Edit (Bentley): Dropdowns also need to be formatted to fill out the form with the necessary questions to ask via a dropdown.

Global: Footer references

The bottom portion of the webpage that will include copyright and license information.

Setup test Database connection

We need to check to see whether we can access data from the MySQL database hosted by Pellissippi - this will require making the connection in php, and creating the mock data in the MySQL database.

Removing duplicate submit button

There were two submit buttons when I checked the site. We only need one.

Submit Validation

When a user presses "Submit", check to see if the Dropdowns have selected options.

If not, delay the request and add a message indicating to the user to select valid options.

(Don't forget to remove the validation message when the user has corrected their options).

Add Submit Button

Submit button is what is pressed after the dropdowns have what they need.

In a later ticket, the logic to return output when the Submit button has been pressed will be addressed.
Validation will also be addressed elsewhere - just focus for now on getting a button on the page.

See Bootstrap's documentation for implementing a basic button:
http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-groups-single

Fix variable reference in GET request

The GET request to the results page has something like:

xmlhttp.open("GET", 'Results.php?degree=' + degree + '&college=' + college, false);

This needs to be:

xmlhttp.open("GET", 'Results.php?degree=' + SelectedDegree + '&college=' + SelectedCollege, false);

Ajaxing the results page.

Replacing the results page with automatic results on the page.

Bootstrap relative path incorrect

Fixes the incorrect path link to Bootstrap.

Create .gitignore file
