An auction site for JLIC.

Aucs

Aucs is a Chinese auction website based on CodeIgniter.

Tools & Dependencies:

Aucs uses CodeIgniter 3.0 RC2, PHP 5.5, MySQL 5.5.3.

I used MAMP (download link) Version 3.0.7.3 (3.0.7.3) to get this up and running locally.

I downloaded MAMP and pointed it at the folder containing this repo. Then I started building.

I used phpStorm. There's the project in the repo too, so you can use that to edit this if you'd like.

Setting up the database:

There's a sql file in the sql folder that contains all the necessary code to bootstrap the database.

High Level/User Facing Features:

• [√] Users can register.

• [√] Users can log in.

• Users can pay for ticket packages. (Via Stripe.)

• Users can choose which prize packages to put in for.

• [√] Organizers and users can log in.

• Organizers can add prize packages.

• Organizers can add prizes to packages.

• Organizers can add ticket packages.

Implementation Details:

Menu:

• [√] The menu needs to change depending on login state and permissions.
• The menu needs to change depending on permissions level.

General:

• SSL protection.
• Lots of prettying up. The style is loosely based on the print/pdf auction booklet. (link here)
• Implement the endpoints outlined in the routes specification, which I designed during the brainstorm.

Login:

• Login needs to account for encryption. Whatever we choose needs to match the encryption scheme used for the sign ups.
• Server and/or client side input validation.

Sign Ups:

• Collect email, password, phone number, address.
• Validate all of this before creating a new record in the database.

Database:

• [√] Remove Organizer table and add a field is_organizer to the User table.

Orders:

There are two stages to user orders:

1. Choosing how many tickets to pay for.
2. Choosing which prize packages those tickets go towards.

What I've done so far:

I've stubbed all of the model classes, built the database, and started working on some of the views and controllers.

About API Keys & Passwords:

So this is a semi-public repository, which means that I obviously shouldn't be throwing private keys in here. I'm using default passwords on my local database, and will be changing all of that before deployment.

What's this for anyway?

In a word, charity. Happy to share details privately.
