Preoccupied by a single leaf, you won't see the tree

items to fix:

  1. blog section items:

    • limit the number of blog posts per page, have the newest on front, oldest in back. Make the max 5?
    • rotate backgrounds on each blog index page
    • Figure out how to add images for the blog posts where it replaces the image on the index
    • Fix the styling on all blog pages
    • Combining two filters on a template for the post_list.html on the line with class="post_text"
  2. index:

    • hamburger menu on front page
    • Link the 'HAuto' on the title to the index
  3. vehicle:

    • work on setting up your models
    • think about the different ways you could get to the part the person is looking for
    • in the parts model there should be a related parts field (different mfg relation)
    • in the parts model there should be related parts eg: coolant temp sensor - both coolant system and electrical
    • youtube links somewhere with the parts detail
    • tools detail somewhere with the parts detail
  4. stacking HTML files

    • You can add onto all of the HTML files, the blog templates folder shows this.
    • either each of the apps have a 'main' file OR there is one purely main file.
    • I am leaning towards each app having a 'main', Layouts can vastly differ when more apps get added on I don't want to be held to a specific base look.
  5. document

    • Start making documentation, before the site gets unmanageable.
  6. Future

    • Realizing in the database a few things:
      • made the following into the text section:
        • There should be a clarification note for the part
        • Cooling has a radiator caps have a pressure rating + link to explain ratings
        • Cooling has a thermostat temperature rating + link to explain ratings
      • Companion image for the part
      • Selection:
        • Marking items as Original Equipment or an OE Supplier
        • Marking items as General Aftermarket Replacement
        • Marking items as Racing Equipment
      • Marking Racing Equipment installation items that would require modification
        • ranking system 1-5 for modification
        • explanation on rankings:
          • 1 = minor modification
          • 5 = major modification
      • Duplication of parts can become very easy when entering in database
        • How can this be prevented in the future?
        • Can there be an easy way to sort parts in the admin panel based on an attribute?
      • A part can be linked to multiple systems, having an option to add additional systems attributes to a part would help.
      • Having an alternate part numbers field (could be outdated part numbers, or cross reference from other manufacturers)
      • When a part number matches another have a field where all of those are indicated (hardware, hose clamps, bulbs)
      • An explanation field for manufacturers who do not have part numbers
        • could be boutique parts
        • or if there is no part number given
      • For items like hardware:
        • Bolts & Nuts: thread pitch, specifications, rating, ect ect
        • Hose clamps: Inner diameter or sizing for the specific hose, strength, material
        • O-rings: specify the type of O-ring, inner and outer diameter, application, rating, material

Over break:

  1. make drawings of cars (less than 1-minute per drawing)
  2. make drawings of systems (less than 1-minute per drawing)
  3. make drawings of cooling systems parts (less than 1-minute per drawing)
  4. convert drawings to SVG and host in imgur
  5. Finish up the selection tree to choose a specific system then those parts. (AJAX - in the HTML sheet choicebar.)ACK! WHAT AM I DOING WRGON!
  6. Pagentation for the blog postings
  7. Create a app for the media section
  8. Work on styling the pages that need it - even if it isn't final styling, make it easier to visualize
  9. Fill in the database with at least 200 parts on Wednesday, up to 70 parts
    • Get all of the cooling system mapped in
    • Don't worry about all of the choices available - Just get what you can

####Monday 12/11/2017 Worked on index2.html - I didn't like what was going on with index.html so I started from scratch

Left off making 3 images for the top part.

Items to look into:

  • finish up the front page look

For Tuesday: Finish front page for now, Work on the car detail page work on the blog page

Random Ideas:

  • footer quote: random Zen footer quote
  • rotating theme header with different livery color schemes.

Tuesday 12/12/2017

Updated to index3.html - had to fix bugs with the css, the only way to accomplish that was to copy/pasta also new: layout3.css

Brown paper drawing - that's the template. starting on vehiclechoice.html now started on vc1.css now

index page has 3 sections - vehicle choice section,
site navigation section, and a blog section
I think the site navigation section is a placeholder.

Wednesday 12/13/2017

Laid out vehiclechoice.html and styled it I need a hblog.html page next - but before that, I will be going through django girls tutorial for blogs. I got to a point where you deploy a blog to a website. I might try this on a different day. Right now, I carry on. Create an HTML for the hardblog. Can copy/pasta from other templates already made. ENDO OF DDAYYEY

Thursday 12/14/2017

There is a really slick way of creating a base template and inserting other html inside. Good example is the base.html and post_list.html within the hardblog. added a lot of functionality to the blog (draft, edit, publish, delete) Now to a point where I will be adding security to the site.

Friday 12/15/2017

Added a users to the site Edited the index3.html and layout3.css in templates outside of the django project - ready to be placed ######Next step:

  • adding commenting to the blog pages
  • start moving over the index layout and linking the blog into the main index
  • Make sure your links aren't broken! you broke the login links to demo
  • Might be a good idea to start up a separate project to try and make the vehicle choices

Monday 12/18/2017

Added commenting with admin approve/deny on the comments. Started a table that I am thinking of using with my models. Need to refine it so I have a clear understanding of all parts of the model.

Wednesday 12/20/2017

I didn't take notes on these days once they were over. I must have entered in data, finished my models and got all of my different apps linked up to the index

Thursday 12/21/2017

Morning: 5-min Stand-ups & AJAX Demo Afternoon: Signed up with Worksource Oregon, sent an email, filled out work history and other details. Got one item to display from my database to my screen

Friday 12/22/2017

Got all of the items from the database displayed on the screen Got some of the selection stuff done with Matthews help Now I broke it again... @ 3:45
