ceramicportal's Issues

Implement add, edit, delete product functionality

In the admin section, add features in order to :

• add new products and store in DB.
• edit old products & update DB.
• delete old products & update DB.

Bug in adding new product

After adding a new product, the route isn't redirected to the intended page. No idea what's going on..... Probably gonna troubleshoot tomorrow.

Design logo

Design a suitable and high resolution logo for our project.

The logo shall follow these guidelines:

• It must be available in web safe formats like JPEG, PNG, SVG etc.
• It must not resemble any existing logo.
• It must be consistent with the color pallete of our webapp.

You can use this resource to design logos. But don't just take any logo it generates as it is. Customise it to make it unique.

Make a number of logos , then we'll vote to select the final one.

Update db schema for preview images

Create additional fields in db for storing urls to lightbox gallery images.

Bug in deleting product

Same bug in deleting product as in adding & updating. Will troubleshoot tomorrow. Seems a sticky situation. Don't have any idea what's the issue.

Update views templates

Add the fields for adding preview gallery images in edit and add products templates.

Create products models & retrieve seeded data from db.

Create well-defined models for products. Using those models retrieve the documents from DB using the dust templating engine.

Work out a color pallete for our project

All the designing can only be done once the pallete is finalised. Hence before designing anything even the logo work out a few color palletes that would be suitable for our project.

Keep in mind the following things.

• The color pallete shall be widely accessible on the web, meaning that the copies must be such that even people with certain types of blindness can get a rich user experience. This is necessary as it helps in ranking the site higher in search results.

• The Colors shall be consistent and must contract with most Colors as we ll have a lot of images of tiles , marbles etc. Hence all those products images shall not look out of place.

For this you can start by researching about web safe Colors and also you can follow this guide by Google

To generate color palletes you can use any free online pallete generator.

Work out more than one palletes for better options, then we'll vote. You can claim this issue to work on it all by urself here. Just comment ur interest.

Identify font-family

Three fonts are required for the project.

1. A font for heading & titles
2. A font for paragraphs, texts other than titles/headings
3. A font for remaining texts which occur in corners/bottom (isolated texts)

Go to Google Fonts and identify three fonts for above mentioned categories. These fonts shall look good when used with each other.

Advice Make a temp.html page & try out the fonts.

Bug in editing products

While updating the products' details, the routers don't render the correct route. This is the same problem as in the add products feature. Will solve both later.

Update Usage Guide in Readme.md

Include details regarding setting up Mongo DB and launching the local environment.

Update Readme.md

Include a guide in readme on how to keep the local repo in sync with the parent repo.

Add DataBase (MongodB)

Setup & Configure MongodB , to use as a database. Seed raw data for testing.

Usage guide in Readme.md

Make the documentation such that anyone can learn and run the project locally and understand what's going on.

Create routes & controllers for Category Views

Ensure that the server renders all the UI related to displaying products in Categories via category filter.

Implement CRUD functionality for Categories

Like products make the categories addable, editable, deletable. I don't even know if these are valid words.

Bug in connect flash module.

Figured out where the bug crept into the deit, add, & delete views. Gonna troubleshoot the flash module tomorrow.

Lightbox gallery for product preview

Create a lightbox gallery for all products beneath the existing content on product details page.

Implement Preloader Screen

While the site loads there must be some loading image/svg on screen.

Aggregate Content for seeding products database

Go to existing ceramics sites and collect and maintain the following data:

• First, make a main folder named CeramicPortal

• Next, make a folder inside it named products

• Inside products make folders of different categories like bedroom floorings, kitchen walls, sanitation, bathroom etc.

• Next inside each of these category folders make the product folders named in order product1, product2 .... and so on..

• Then in each product folder aggregate the following content
  1. Title (product name) in .txt file named as details.txt
  2. Description in same file
  3. Price per peice in same file
  4. Warranty in same file
  5. Seller in same file
  6. Category in same file
  7. Outside the details.txt make a file for small product image named thumbnail."any img extension"
  8. Outside the details.txt make a file for large product image named hero."any img extension"

Note Keep in mind that the size for small image shall be exactly 250*250 & for large image the Sizes shall be same for all products in same category.

Edit Also include the pdf file of technical specs for each product.
