To Do

• Functions Needed
  • modelsByProductID – to populate models dropdown on product details page – 2.25
  • current data.productWebPage() function needs to return two additional columns
    • Manufacturer name
    • Manufacturer id
  • if productWebPage() is updated then the years drop down can then be populated via 2.23
  • if we have all of the above we can then use 2.21 to update the price accordingly in the details view get price by simply having 3 dropdowns on details view – Manufacturer, Model and Year
  • need new function getManufacturerListByProductID so we can start the chain and populate the first drop down on the product details page.
  • now need two more, getModelListByProductIDManufacturerID() and getYearListByProductIDManufacturerIDModelID().
  • The last two need fixing as they dont work quite right, updates are under way....
• Paul Smeetons Altered main menu idea – this is the one where we show images instead of dropdowns – we can do this dead simply by saying something like "if all manufacturers in this group have an image associated with them then show images instead of dropdowns"
  • what we really do is just check the first manufacturer, if that does then we assume the rest do and use images instead of dropdowns
  • We have to stress the point that all manufacturers need images or they will either be represented by dropdowns alone or some will simply have no image
  • if the later of the two events happens then there will still be a placeholder that the user can click, there just wont be an image. these are quite easy to locate to update so none of this should really be a problem.
  • best of all there shouldnt be anything to do on the database side at all as long as manufacturer images work ok 
  • what do we do about the year dropdown? just stick it under the model one?
• Remove go button from menu search, where you click say helmets off the main menu and then get two dropdowns, isnt necessary on that page. can also go from advanced search, so that means ditch it all together. i want to look into the auto-postback function first though to see if there are any browser problems with it, we dont want to end up with half our audience not being able to actualy perform the search.
• User Registration / Login
• Swap bag image in right column for credit card images
