Registration complete and favourite system nearly there

A productive evening in Munchies Towers. I have managed to complete the registration process for new businesses now, which is fantastic news. There is many more things I yet add but at least the basics are working. And as a bonus it looks fairly pretty.

Something else I have been working on is a students account which allows for people to save their favourite menus in an easy to access place. This means you won't have to worry about searching the entirety of the iGotMunchies database to find what you want. So far it is allowing you to add a menu/restauarant as a favourite but not yet remove them. I have still got to fiqure out all the array gubbins that is required to achieve this.

In other news we were featured in the Louth Target today I believe and two people in Newport reconginised us today.

Finally a descent registration pae is on its way!

Finally guys I think I have managed to construct a registration page that is easy to use, nice looking and grabs much more information then ever before, making our listings better then ever! I have attached a sneak peak image of the page. Everything is still done in a fancy ajax kind of manner. This makes the whole registration process much easier. So whats still left for me to do on the registration;

1. Form validation
   Very important to make sure all the data we need for the system to work is entered correctly.
2. Database input
   At present the pages are static and don't push anything to the database. This is of course no good and so tomorrow will be spent on getting all the information entered into the correct parts of the database.
3. Image upload
   Still contemplating how I am going to arrange the image upload feature. Many requests are coming in for PDF upload. This presents a problem as my server doesn't seem to like imagemagick the software I need to convert PDF to JPEG. I need to run this conversion and split each page of the document into individual images. Then dynamically list all of this on the businesses profile page. At the moment only 2 images can be uploaded but if someone uploads a 10 page PDF not everything is going to get shown. I am looking at having two seperate forms one for PDF upload and one for JPG uploads. But ohh man this is a headache lol.
   
4. Send emails to both iGotMunchies and the end user
   Something I havn't done so far in any version of the registration form was to send an email to both myself and the end user. The end user would recieve a welcome letter and account details. And I would just be acknowledged of a new registration, just so I can keep tracks on things.
   

Anyway thats enough for now. Check back tomz for more news.

It's all gone a bit mental!
