Project Brief
A Visitor visits website and decides to order an image.
They add the text decide on the font from a drop down list and colour. They decide whether they want a 3 d shadow effect click on either a calculate button or auto updates with prices. An option is also available if they want to add an image only available from either a drop down list or other method and they can move it in there image where they like.
If visitor decides to buy they click on add to cart and all of the info is captured and transferred into a Viart shopping Cart Product so when I get the order I know what the customer wants in reference to the image ordered. Each order will also have a custom id number and the image is saved on my hosting account named as per the custom id number.
Behind the Scenes
I need a php script that generates an image with the website user adding:
Text
Size of the image they want in mm or inches
Colour of the font
choice of 3 d shadow inc gaps etc
3 D Shadow Colour
etc
There also needs an option whether to show the text proportional with the chosen font going by the width and ignoring the height input by the user or just sizes added by the website visitor where if its not proportional it shows its not just like working in Photoshop.
There also needs an ability to show a 3d effect facing either up down left or right etc with a choice of how much gap between font and shadow and colour choice of shadow.
There also needs to be an option to show actual size which will show only a magnified portion of the image text since it will not fit on the screen if for example the image is 500mm in width x 150mm.
This will also need to be able to calculate a price depending on the size chosen.
THe price qoute needs to be calculated using different price points.
Length x width is calculated then if between .01 and .04 charge $460
.05 x .09 charge $250
.10 to .20 charge $210
.21 to .36 charge $180
.37 to .56 charge $150
.57 and over charge $130
A percentage charge must also be coded so if they choose a 3d shadow they get charged an extra fee in % of overall price. % fee will be added in the settings script.
The way the calculations need to work is if an image is 300mm x 75mm this equates to 0.225 which case the script would multiple 0.225 x $207 which would give a total price of $46.57. If the option of shadow is added and its setup at %10 via the settings script then the total price would show teh overall price ($46.57 + 10%)
All of these settings chosen by the web user needs to be added into a viart product with all options exactly as typed and chosen by the website user in the product order. These include sizes, font colour, font types etc
In the setup admin or settings of the php script I need to be able to:
Choose HTML code for the colours of the text and font and the ability to add 1 or 50 colours and all colours setup as Colour #1, Colour #2 etc, change prices and so on.
The script will need to show particular fonts from a folder on the hosting package and displayed as Font 1 Font 2 etc automatically and added as Font 1 or 2 into the Viart product.
I will also need to be able to set this up in mm or inches and all calculations need to work anyway set bia the setting sor admin script.
An option whether to disable the 3 d shadow effect is also a must and if disabled must not be visible.
I need something simple, not confusing and on one page so as soon as a change is made its visible.
This is a simple job for someone familiar with php image creation and calculations and viart.
Basically to avoid confusion this works in 2 parts.
Part 1 is the script where someone can create an image with font colour shadow effect options etc. Once the webuser is happy they click on a button and price is either generated or generated as data is added with each bit of data eg fonts, colours, 3d shadow type, text, sizes etc
Part 2 is when the order button is cliked the data in part 1 is transferred to a product setup in Viart. IN Viart you can create custom text boxes for a product and the transfer would take place from 1 text box of the script to a custom text box in the viart product.
Project is to be done in PHP and would prefer to limit the use of client side scripting such as javascript.
