Project Description:

This stove and fuel website needed shop functionality so they could sell their products online and a backend CMS where they could add, edit and delete stock items.

First off, I created a database in MySQL to store the information about the different products. I then created a PHP file which looked up the categories in the database and echoed out the title and image into the HTML to create a gallery page.

I then used the featherlight lightbox plugin so when a particular item was clicked it would open a modal which displayed its properties if they were set in the database (such as height, weight, description).

I also added a custom Paypal button which linked to the buyers account. To do this, I used the Paypal’s sandbox section to test what information the buyer and seller would see on purchase.

To create the admin section I created a HTML page which was IP restricted and used PHP functions to carry out CRUD tasks and update the database. I also used the tinyMCE javascript plugin to add a rich text editor to make it easier for the client to add and edit item details.
