Hello
I am making a game trading web application for class.
Here are the requirements:
You must be able to register and log in, you must be able to list games you have to trade and games you want, you must be able to search users that want games you have and users that have games you want, you must be able to accept and make trades, on trade finalization screen you must be able to rate user 1-5, view the users shipping address, and leave a comment on the users page.
You do not have to be able to view other users pages, but on your home page you must be able to view your average rating.
I am the most advanced programmer in my group so this has been a little tough.
I have a login page and a registration page, I have a user home page, a add games page, a view feedback/ratings page, and a my games page where you can delete games.
What I’m stuck on is the page that allows you to search users by games they want and games you want, and the trade finalization page.
On the search page I would like to combine the functionality of searching for users with games you want and games they want with the ability to to make a trade offer. the way we have it drawn up is using radio buttons to select either show people with games I want and show people wanting my games. when one is selected it will populate a list of usersnamesin a drop down menu that fit whichever choice was made. We drew up four list boxes that populate lists when we select a user name, one box populates the games they have, one populates the games they want, one populates the games I have and one populates games I want. We want to be able to select game titles and and move them to a list box of games I want and another to a list box of games willing to trade, lastly a submit offer button.
We are debating on if this is the best set up given the requirements needing to be met. I think there is more here than what we need, we have 1 week to do this and I am doing all the programming so I am looking for the easiest way to search users that want games I have/have games I want and display the results giving me the option to select games to trade and make an offer.
we are also arguing on if we have to use javascript to do this or if it can all be done within php.
The trade finalization page would have a drop down menu where you select the user name of completed trades and upon selection lists will be populated of games they gave, games I gave and the address to send the game. It will also have a from where we can rate the user and leave a comment.
This page I need help with cause again we disagree on having to use javascript or not.
We are using phpMyAdmin and the db tables we have are:
tblgame - list of games I have added
tblgamestatuscode - gives game a code that determines if it is wanted, to trade, or traded
tblmember - member registration
tblplatform - platform the game is on (Xbox, Xbox 360, Playstation2, Playstation3, PC, ans Wii)
tbltransaction - date traded and a status change code
tbltransactiondetail - gameID and trans ID
tbltransactionparty - memberID, transID, rating, comments, status change accepted
Please help if you can. I will gladly give more information if needed.
