Customize Zen Cart Banners

The client wanted multiple 125×125 banners to display in a sidebox on their Zen Cart online store. I modified the banner sidebox to display up to 4 banners at a time in one sidebox.

Custom PHP Registration Form

I coded a custom PHP project management application for a commercial construction company. Subcontractors can gain access projects  to view documents and photos, RFIs and other information.

Subcontractors can only access projects once they have been invited to view it. This worked out fine for subcontractors that are already in the system. When my client wanted to give a new subcontractor access to the project though, it was a bit cumbersome for the sub to register, and then have to wait for the client to send an email invitation in order to gain access.

To address this problem, code modifications where made to the project manager tool and registration process.  Each project now has the option to assign a unique registration code to it. During the registration process, if a register code is entered, the sub is automatically “invited” and gains instant access to the project once logging in.

Added New Fields to Zen Cart Checkout

The client needed to collect additional information during the Zen Cart checkout process. I modified the database to add a flag to products to identify if additional information was needed during checkout. If any products in the shopping cart needed this information collected, the form fields would display on the shipping page. From there, values were checked if required. If all values were entered, code was modified to send these new details to the admin email when the check out process was complete.

Modify Joomla Registration Form to Add New Fields

The client’s request was have a user register before accessing a page. They wanted additional fields collected on the Joomla registration form. I customized the form (and database) to add fields for company, title and phone. Captcha was also added to the registration form to add security. The dynamic variables in the email sent to the administrator was also modified to include the new form fields collected. Finally, code was modified for user to be redirected to the register form instead of the login form when clicking on the link.
