Web Design Portfolio Manager

A web designer colleague asked for me to create a web application for him to be able to easily manage his web design portfolio. He had been creating static pages for each web design and logo design project and it was getting difficult to manage.

Programming with PHP and MySQL, I created a password protected back end for him to be able to upload multiple images for the web design project, along with input multiple fields of information. The ability to categorize each project by type of either web design project or logo design was also incorporated. By doing this, code on the front end could easily separate out the types of project by category and display as differetn pages. An excerpt of each project displays, with a link clicking through to a full detail page about the project.

Add Image Verification to Website Using Recaptcha

This client was getting a lot of spam coming through his PHP email form and asked me what could be done to prevent it. I recommended using Recaptcha image verification that would require users to enter a string of characters from an image.  The client approved this idea and recaptcha was added to his PHP form using the recaptcha API for PHP.

PHP Photo Upload and Resize Image Script

The client requested I modify their existing PHP photo upload script. The code was having problems accepting larger file uploads. I modified php.ini to allow file uploads to 8MB. Other modifications included resizing files to display a smaller size in the browser. A couple of other minor bugs were addressed such as fixing a pop up message stating “This Page Contains Both Secure and Non-Secure Items”

Custom PHP Job Manager Tool

The client hired me as a freelance PHP programmer to build a custom PHP tool so he could manage job listings on his website.
I built a simple PHP application with the following functionality:

• Back end password protected area to manage jobs from the web browser.
• Functionality to create, edit and delete jobs.
• Functionality to activate and inactivate job listings from displaying on the site temporarily
• Functionality to assign jobs to multiple categories
• Functionality to assign job listings as Featured. Featured jobs display randomly on the home page each time the pages is requested.
• Front end ability to sort jobs, displayed by categories.

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.
