Started working on new discount engine and smart cart logic. Sort of an advanced discount with tiered pricing and automatic discounts based on certain rules. Going over my quick post-it note scribbles and translating them into a digital list of things to think about and check.

Switched over to working on the edit cart line item page. Started making changes and ran into a JavaScript error. Ended up backing things out. I think that I need to take a different approach. It started getting messy. Rolled back the code locally.

Recording notes from 10/24/24 to 10/25/24.

Meeting with Cody. Going over the adilas check write app changes. He has the main bank check settings, the print individual checks interface, and the logic done. It is getting close. We ended up adding eight new columns to the check specs table to allow users to move some of the placeholders around on the check. These placeholders are things like logos, bank info, corp info, and check number fields.

We also looked at the adilas label builder, and I showed him my progress on doing the final code review on that project. We are going to tweak a few things with the builder layout but it is also making great progress. I really want to get these tools out to our users so that they can start being used and we can get some feedback. That's important.

Backing up files. Exported each table from my local database. There were over 360 tables and millions of records, just on my local box. Burned a CD back-up copy. Pretty crazy!

Meeting with Hamid. He needed some help with his budget tool project. We spent time deleting budget items from his little app and then being able to edit items and entry transactions. We worked through the process and lightly finished things up. It still needs some loving, but it at least works. Great little training session and mini project for him. I think that he learned a lot. Good stuff.

He's going to send me over a copy of the code and a small dump of the database files for our records. It's not ready for live production, and would need some major work, but it was a great training app.

Back working on the label builder and retrofitting the old labels to be able to work with both the v2 and v3 code. Had to work some with the old label builder to help show links to the new label homepage and make sure that older versions still had active links and navigation.

Meeting with Alan and going over an update on the discounts and smart cart logic. We talked through a few things. He showed me what he is working on (mini cart display version) and we talked about discounts, showing things, and helping show the customers the total savings. All current projects and shopping cart stuff.

Code review on the adilas label builder. Trying to help out the older v2 labels come up to speed. Small database update and then cascading those pieces through the system.

Meeting with a buddy for lunch and talking about business and what we are doing and learning. Fun lunch appointment. We would like to get back together and chat once I get back from an upcoming business trip. I'd like to see if we, adilas, could help him out.

Phone call with cory to go over item imports for a client. We actually called back and forth a couple of time to make sure we were on the same page. This is basically, a custom data upload for a client. This new upload will load an enterprise system and then the enterprise system will push content down to smaller transactional corporations on the same server. Conditioning and setting up a new custom upload page. Did some local testing and then pushed up live. Sent an email with some instructions.

Code review on Cody's v3 adilas label builder. Going over changes and flow.
