Whats going on then?
I hope everybody had an extremely awesome Christmas, and i hope you have an even better new year! Over the past few days Luca and I have been working constantly to get things done. In this post I’ll try to explain whats going on.
Firstly the interfaces are coming along really nicely, we have a few of the main ones done which Luca is working on to convert them into CSS/XHTML. The way we do this is fairly basic, I’ll spend a few days creating a detailed mockup in photoshop, i’ll send him a jpg file and we then discuss any changes that should be made, I’ll go back and make the changes then i will send over the image files which he will get to work on. Heres a sneak peak of what the app will look like (I’m under strict orders not to reveal to much). I have blurred it so hopefully you won’t be able to work out what the app actually does.
Now as far as the development goes with actually getting some PHP coding done. We’ve both been working on the login system which actually proved to be tougher than we thought. We wanted to it be as secure as we could get it using both cookies and sessions. We have managed to get it working perfectly (finally), although it could probably still do with a few touch ups.
Another thing which I’m proud to have finished is allowing each company to have their own sub-domain address. Now company’s can have their own individual sets of users. For example if 2 companies have someone called ‘Ted’ working for them, both of the Ted’s will be able to use the same username. However it will only work on which company they have been assigned to. Heres an example of the sub-domain script.

In the next couple of days I plan to release a detailed tutorial on how to get this set up.
On another front, we have got the holding page up and running with a little bit of snazzy AJAX and PINK links! If you’re interested in trying out the app once its ready for beta, throw us your email and we’ll be sure to let you know.
So these are the sort of tasks we are currently working on, before we start to code the main system of the app, we need to get some ground work down.
