Big Blank Canvas
I was approached by a friend of mine from RBS, asking for help with a specific feature of their own developed eccommerce solution. (This is not for RBS themselves, just an employee's own startup project).
They wanted a "pretty" way of showing multiple product images on the page without any popups or having to visit multiple pages; they also wanted a feature that would allow customers to upload an image that they wanted to be printed onto a canvas of their own. I decided that jquery and php would be the best lightweight solution for this.
I used lightbox to display the images without any popup windows or new pages being opened. The solution wasn't so easy for the image upload facility.
I usedd PHP to allow the customer to upload their image to a password protected folder on their server, a database then stored the email address and what image that customer had uploaded. An email was then sent out to the admin of the Big Blank Canvas telling them the order number, the customer email address and the image reference.
I used a variety of different solutions to develop the solutions for Big Blank Canvas:
- CSS
- PHP
- Javascript
