Hi Robert!
Sergey says:
Could you possibly have time to talk now ?
BOB says:
Hello Sergey
Sergey says:
Hello
BOB says:
sure
Sergey says:
Before we started work on back side design AM page we discussed the quote for it … Would you agree that what is done at the back side page by now would be worth 3 hours of my time ? So ti would be 30 USD ?
Sergey says:
Should I tell you what exactly has been done ?
BOB says:
ok
Sergey says:
So taking into account that before that I had 10 USD already earned from the future payment, I have 40 USD from the future payment earned by now
BOB says:
ok
Sergey says:
There is no need to pay yet of course
BOB says:
ok…anytime you need
BOB says:
tell me
Sergey says:
Ok. Thanks
Sergey says:
Now it would be great to discuss hwo we are going to proceed with the backside design and in which order. So that I could separate the process to small tasks, discuss the quotes with you and you could decide in which order we’ll make them …
Sergey says:
But 1st I would like to tell you some idears
Sergey says:
on how I see the design
BOB says:
ok
Sergey says:
Could you start in http://dev.weprintcolour.com/
Sergey says:
and go to the backside design page
BOB says:
done
Sergey says:
there is small card preview image at the top
BOB says:
I see admin
BOB says:
yes
Sergey says:
You mean you did not receive my letter where I said the Admin Mode link was added ?
Sergey says:
I sent to both your addresses
BOB says:
oh
BOB says:
I haven’t checked for 8 hours
Sergey says:
I see… thanks it makes me comfortable … I was afraid that there is some filter …
Sergey says:
So to the small image at the top…
BOB says:
yes
Sergey says:
The user sees that thumbnail image 1st time he entyers the page
BOB says:
correct
Sergey says:
But after he makes his choice he is proposed to do - 1 of 3 possible
Sergey says:
that image at the top
Sergey says:
could make him scroll down
Sergey says:
each time after he Updates Proof
Sergey says:
Apart from that
Sergey says:
If he changes e.g. his phone
Sergey says:
we have to aply this change to both
Sergey says:
backside image and frontside image on the fly
BOB says:
right
Sergey says:
It would be simpler
BOB says:
that is most ideal
Sergey says:
if we did not show that image after Update Proof is 1st time click
Sergey says:
and make all the updates to the front side image
BOB says:
I see
Sergey says:
at once
Sergey says:
when Save and Continue
Sergey says:
at the backside AM page
BOB says:
One question here
Sergey says:
is clicked
Sergey says:
yes ?
BOB says:
is there a way to maybe have a link “to view front side”
BOB says:
My making thuumb dissappear, I ma confused (as a user) as to where it is?
BOB says:
Is the probelm rendering it if a global change is made?
Sergey says:
Yes, we could make that link … Or even update the front side image dynamically … I can do anything you wish … I am just looking for less time consuming and as a result more money saving - for you - way to do that
BOB says:
real-time
Sergey says:
Just more time would be necessary
Sergey says:
it could be done in real-time
BOB says:
I appreciate that, but least expensive is not alwasy best
Sergey says:
the present script is not really suitable for it… that is all
BOB says:
IMO
Sergey says:
yes ?
BOB says:
sorry IMO=In My Opinion
Sergey says:
Yes, thanks, I know IMO, IMHO
Sergey says:
often use at the forums myself
BOB says:
yes
BOB says:
I think the backsite needs thumbs present of anything in seesion that has been created by user
Sergey says:
anything ?
Sergey says:
Anythng is only the front side image, right ?
BOB says:
any “approved” here is why
BOB says:
2. Design another business card.
Sergey says:
Sorry I do not really understand
BOB says:
A user can make multiple
Sergey says:
So all the images must be present ?
BOB says:
and should have a quick reference
Sergey says:
All of them ? Constantly ?
Sergey says:
All thumbnails ?
BOB says:
Only final approvals
BOB says:
determined by “save and continue”
BOB says:
e.g.
Sergey says:
yes ?’
BOB says:
If you click save and continue now
BOB says:
click 4. I am done, I wish to get postcards printed.
BOB says:
you (should) see finished products
BOB says:
some way, some how….
Sergey says:
wrong path, it is OK
Sergey says:
could be corrected
BOB says:
we should have a reference point for user to see what is completed and approved
Sergey says:
it is dev after all
BOB says:
yes
BOB says:
just the path
Sergey says:
yes
BOB says:
umm
BOB says:
so I think small thumb or link for user in backside
BOB says:
of front
BOB says:
“approved”
Sergey says:
I see, at front side too
Sergey says:
so link or images ?
Sergey says:
it is important to know what exactly
BOB says:
Well on front ther would be no data on entrance
Sergey says:
which exactly
Sergey says:
Why ?
Sergey says:
What if he designed 10 cards already
BOB says:
we really only need to save the file when user clicks done and continue
BOB says:
this is the one that should preview as small thumb in backside
Sergey says:
right, but if he begins to design another card he begins from the front side again … So there will be images of all the previous cards he designed in the current session
Sergey says:
And we must show all of them, right ?
Sergey says:
At front side AM page
BOB says:
Yes, I see if there are many it will be a probem
Sergey says:
yes
BOB says:
Lust links then…
BOB says:
just
BOB says:
“Approved Postcards”
BOB says:
heading
Sergey says:
one link: “Approved Postcards” then, right ?
BOB says:
Link 1, LInk 2, Link 3, etc
Sergey says:
why so many ?
Sergey says:
would not it be better to show all of them at 1 page ?
BOB says:
as you said, what if a user makes many?
Sergey says:
e.g. in a popup window
BOB says:
yes
BOB says:
good idea
Sergey says:
when “Approved Postcards” is clicked
Sergey says:
ok
BOB says:
gr8
Sergey says:
Another question … Shall we have layouts for back side ?
Sergey says:
somethig like what we have for the front side
BOB says:
yes, that is why I asked about admin
BOB says:
does admin work now?
Sergey says:
How many ? the same number of them ?
BOB says:
for back
Sergey says:
you could enter the mode. It is all that works for it
BOB says:
Here some basics…
Sergey says:
No special functionality yet
Sergey says:
yes ?
BOB says:
1) add black to colors
BOB says:
2) add white to colors
Sergey says:
black to colors ?
Sergey says:
What is it ?
BOB says:
3) By default “Black will load”
BOB says:
for text that overlays 80% transperenct image
Sergey says:
I see
BOB says:
4) If user selects vertical layout will load
BOB says:
only 1
BOB says:
same applies to horizontal
BOB says:
only 1
Sergey says:
only 1 ?
Sergey says:
Sorry I do not understand …
BOB says:
k
BOB says:
This is the way I see it
BOB says:
Only 1 layout is required for vertical and horizontal that will inclued a text block in greek text
BOB says:
there is total free to place graphics over image becasue it is so light
BOB says:
so I see no need to make 835 custom layouts again
BOB says:
for the “Stock” ones
BOB says:
We need 10 layouts through admin
BOB says:
I can make
BOB says:
That leaves “Custom”
Sergey says:
I see. No finetuning is required as it was for the front side, right ?
BOB says:
yes
BOB says:
correct
Sergey says:
So there will be 10 layouts and in the special files for each type of stock background 1 of 10 files will be assigned to it. I see
BOB says:
yes
BOB says:
If user uploads custom?
Sergey says:
just no safety zone then ? And some very general layout assigned initially ?
BOB says:
right…
BOB says:
we need to know if it’s light or dark?
BOB says:
Would user like transperency applied?
BOB says:
so we can somewhat intellegently place text
BOB says:
hor or vert?
Sergey says:
We could apply no transparency in this case. Maybe the image is suitable already. He could apply it manually
BOB says:
I see
Sergey says:
hor or vert could be determined by the actual image size
BOB says:
What about a couple radio buttons on upload form?
BOB says:
1) Is back ground dark
BOB says:
2) Is background horizontal or vertical
Sergey says:
sure
BOB says:
user checks before uploading
Sergey says:
yes, of course
BOB says:
we then load layout appropriately
Sergey says:
yes
BOB says:
ok
Sergey says:
So thank you very much for answering my questions
Sergey says:
Now it is much more clear to me
BOB says:
no probs
BOB says:
thanks for your quality time
Sergey says:
Thanks to you
BOB says:
So please proceed ASAP
BOB says:
as I am getting excited
Sergey says:
I’ll think about all this and discuss the design stages with you tomorrow … Would it be OK ?
BOB says:
BOB says:
sure
Sergey says:
OK. Thanks!
BOB says:
cheers
Sergey says:
cheers
Sergey says:
Have a great evening
BOB says:
u2
Sergey says:
