Getting real with the site (March 10th to 14th)


Another week has passed and after being just working on migrations, things are starting to look as the prototype showed in the firsts meetings. So, for this week I worked on some migrations and making part of the design alive, I'm getting more excited every time with the add-ons on the design.

My week started with the research of how to make the download of the albumes that the client was going to keep as products on the new site. Data transfer is  a really hard process and doing it manually makes it worse. It is as a result of the problem about how to get the digital content that the client is going to keep, that we found a way to do it automatically with an script that runs on a windows operative system, that downloads all the digital content needed. In this way, the script only needs to be generated and run once and it will download the mp3s.

On the other hand also, I started a research about the order processing on the e-commerce tool that we are using. With this research I found that :
1- We are going to be able to charge the user immediately after a purchase, in this way we are going achieve one of the points that they highlight on this topic.
2- We will need to develop an extension of the e-commerce tool, because it does not allow to generate csv file of orders, and the client needs to be able to generate those files to pass them to the invoice system.
3- The e-commerce-tool is not able to manage pre-orders.

After that little research I started coding the functionality to be able to export the orders on a csv file. The outcome of this is good, right now through a button an administrator can get a file with the data that an order has. Now, what is next, is to wait for which is the data  needed for the invoice system and to be able to apply some search criteria to filter orders.

Also, we worked with the designer changing the main page of the site, the site is starting to seem more real.A lot of things happened this week, and hopefully we are going in the right way.
