This repo holds all my work for my 2nd Year Client/Server Systems module.
Your task is to develop an Interactive classified adverts website using PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS and JavaScript, which allows users to post and manage adverts. You can choose an existing range of products or invent your own (e.g. Cars, Books, Holiday homes, Houses Computers, Plants, Trainers etc.)
- Your site must be able to store 1000’s of adverts and you need to demonstrate its ability by creating at least 10 adverts.
- Site visitors may view adverts and can contact sellers, but can only once self-registered as a client and logged in with appropriate security such as captcha technology.
- Information stored about users must include their email address, which is used as their username, password, address and mobile number. All passwords must be appropriately encrypted.
- Visitors must be able to liveSearch adverts by title, price and at least one other appropriate attribute (I.e: size, colour or location as appropriate)
- The site should provide information about each advert including price, item photos and other appropriate information.
- Logged in visitors should be able to add items to a “watch list” and it must be possible to view, and edit items in the “watch list”.
- You must simulate advert expiry where adverts are archived or removed after a certain duration (e.g. 2 weeks after creation). You must consider security at every step.
The site should be developed using MySQL to hold all the relevant information and the MVC Design Pattern with the Bootstrap CSS framework, as demonstrated in the workshops. You are recommended to use the provided workshop template as your start point.
During second semester, implement AJAX in two places to provide extra functionality such as infinite scrolling, livesearch, or to improve functionality on one of the pages.
I chose to create a web system for buying and selling second hand stringed instruments and their associated accessories.
