Little by Little

I wish I could make enough in subscriptions to work on this 10 hours a day. This weekend I put in about 16 hours a day to make sure all the buttons and drag and drop features were functioning. It should be good enough to use.  Tonight I will try to tie the subscriptions into the database for immediate access. Right now it's all a manual process which is not tedious, but should still be automated. I'm thinking of putting up a 1/2 off subscription for the first 500 users. I'm also going to put the forum up for user support.

 Here's all the buttons I have

And all the buttons I want

Please sign up so I can work on it without delay.

The first download of the craftboard in wood frame panels is up. It's going to take me a month to get the kinks out. But it's workable. I also put the subscription page back and the download page. If you have the download you will get these updated automatically when you open while connected to the internet.

 

I fixed quite a few things today. And I'm sure there is more. But for now one can add items. 

Three items in the edit panel still are being worked on. The shipping, uploading, and off center positioning.

Getting it done!

Today I reached the landmark of being able to add items to the new board. I have the database configured and ready for input. All I need to do is write the server code for adding items online. The offline mode is working. So I might post the download if all goes well.

The web data is temporarily not loading items also. I'll be working on that phase this weekend. I'm hoping the download will be ready the following weekend.

Panic!

I've been trying to recover my blog password for a month. I almost gave up when for some unknown reason the same password I've always used finally worked. I have been working on the craft board steadily this last week.

 

 

I should have the download up within 2 weeks. I'm temporarily removing the portions that are not fully tested. So the cart button will be there, but will pop up with a please wait message. Same for the stores button. It's the only way I know to allow users to prepare their items for stores.

 

For now all a user can do is add their items. But the other panels should come quickly. Maybe at the end of summer the rest will be done. I'm also changing the buttons so they hide on the top of the board and the bottom of the board. That way the user will have the full area for each canvas. And you can have multiple canvas' open at the same time.

Fixed save login checkbox

I had a couple issues in the login that are fixed. I also fixed a problem with the tabs title. I've been busy checking the download. Hopefully it will be ready in February. I've got it done, it just needs to checked a little more. But to check it I have to make some updates.

The first update I'm working on is the database design. This term I'm taking my second class involving designing a database. I am so anxious. I've got the tables all laid out, now I just have to make sure everything is in what they call "4th normal form". Once that's done I'll also make the XML portion for offline viewing.

I realize this may not mean a bunch to most viewers. But this blog keeps track of what I've accomplished.

Will post more next month.

Download almost ready.

I worked on the install file again. There were a couple problems installing when not connected. I think I have finally got it. But will try again next weekend. I took a few hours off this weekend, cause it is really easy to burn out with the excitement of new classes, work, and study.

If the download works I'll disable the cart temporarily but give access to the items panel. So that may be in a week or 2.

Till then. :-)

Few Little Fixes

Somehow I managed to get my pc battery to charge. So I fixed a few little things. Like the tool tips. It was not reporting the correct tip at the correct time. I still see a couple more tips out of place, but this week I have to concentrate on school. I also saw and fixed a drawer problem. It was removing all the library items if clicked twice and was from an index error.

I also made the preloader smaller. Soon I'll get rid of all that text and make it smaller in the preloader. But for now I have decided testing the preloader is more important. And the cart still needs work.

So till next week.
