Database Driven Sites…
Sun, 24 December, 2006 – 6:32 pm
Save not only time but once working prevents mistakes. This weekend I've been updating a site with 4 new templates for sale. However I upgraded the site back in October and never got around to updating the product listings page so that it pulls the details from the database. Not something I feel like fixing right now, however I wanted to get the new templates online. So I've added the new templates to the database however whilst these details are pulled into the single template page, the listings page is simple a manually coded page, so updating this has been a little more tedious purely as there are many factors unique to each template as there is a paypal button next to each item so each needs to ensure that it has the correct price, item name and code attached to it.nnHowever with the new designs now in place and more to come (the new designer has said 1-2 per week) it's given me new motivation to spruce up the site and add a few new features to hopefully help push sales a little further. Thankfully things have quietened down a little this week so I'll have a little more time to get the various jobs on my AIS sites sorted out that I've been meaning to do for ages!nnBut for now it's Christmas so I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and leaves the computer alone for a couple of days
