Please update them into the appropriate sections in the site.

In the email, I zipped you a “3 Bonus Room” jpeg. Please forget about that. We do not need the “3 Bonus Room” in the site.

If Trang can create all these Vietnamese banners then putting together the Template is not difficult.

What do I need next?

1. Room to Share Template(phong cho thue)
Template is exactly like that of House for Rent.
Only one minor change: Remove “House for Rent” banner and replace with “Room for Share” banner. Since you have received a Photoshop file (with font) from us, you can ask Trang to change.

So create this Template for me and put it on the Web

2a. The finished product should say ” Description of the property” (chi tiet ve nha) even though the original template says “Describe your property” (ta nha cua ban). the 2 texts are different.

2b. Cai hinh ben sidebar co the replace by a color box ( BLUE) , size as big as the default word San Jose, Ca (now, the photo is smaller than the default word).
Color BOX is more generic than a photo. User looks at photo and think that this house has a big garden.

Final product will have the blue Box with the word LOCATION inside and the City name underneath it (like what you have now. When user sees the box, he knows that this is the location box

2c. Chu muon sua lai default text tren sidebar:
“Address, City, State”
Chu giai thich tai sao minh sua doi “default text o phan 3.

3. Chau work voi Tam ve phan Map link. Neu nguoi chu nha viet ro ra dia chi (address, city, state) thi Google se ve ban do co Red Balloon khi click vao Gmap link, ban khongchi ve ban do ma thoi. This is why we encourage the owner to fill out the full address.

4. Gmap link to be replaced by “Click here for MAP”

5. “We accept Housing” box has a change button. The other box will be White background with Grey border and the text inside is “(Blank)” (co nghia la chu nha khong nhan Housing)

6. One of the Top banners spell sai
Wrong: Convienent Location
Correct: Convenient Location

We have finally agreed to this new layout (Attached Word document). We also send more banners and graphics for you to use by email

On the side bar, there is a BOX that user is allowed to enter his LOACTION such as San Jose, Milpitas…. where the house is located.
Khi ma co nhieu POSTING, nguoi doc muon biet lien dia chi o dau (SJ, Miplitas de ho de kiem nha)

a) Hinh cua BS. Use my version

b) Hinh cua may box (1,2,3,4 bed)…… Use my version

c) Go to see :

http://houserental.blogsome.com

You will see that the color box are aligned now. That is the DEFAULT mode:
3 bed, 2bath, 2 car , no bonus

If people click on change, they can change each box

d) The files that you receive contain some US maps. Ignore them for now

I hope you will have time to work on this today

Good luck

It is important that we create a nice layout that we can use for other templates

a) Ask Trang to come up with 3 more BS (Banner Signs) besides House for Rent so that user can choose.

The BS for this category has a different size than Obituary or Store shops because thay are only letters.
So please use the size of “House for Rent”

sample 1: Good School District (truong hoc tot: nguoi muon nha ben My muon biet la khu o co truong hoc tot cho con cua minh)

sample 2: Close to Major Shops (gan tiem nhieu, nhut la nguoi lon tuoi, muon song gan shoppig khoi phai lai xe)

sample 3: Quiet Neighbourhood

b) Ask Trang to come up with graphics for

number of bedrooms 2,3,4,5 (same color, different number inside the box)
number of bathroms 1,2,3
number of car garage 1,2

Align these graphics on 1 line instead of putting them as a Square in my demo
(de tat ca may cai box thang hang tren Page)

a) When I load photos of:

JPEG, 640x480 and 115K bytes

WORK

The system works well including after SUBMIT. The loading is fast because of the small 100K size

b) After that I test photos of:

JPEG, 800 x 600, 250K bytes

WORK

The system works at a slower speed (expected because the file is twice as big)

c) After that I test photos of:

JPEG, 1024 x 768, 280K bytes

WORK

The system works at a slower speed (expected because the file is big)

The conclusion is that as long as the size is in the 200KB it does not matter what the original diemnsions are:

640x480 to 1024x768

However when I load size of 2MB, the system does not like it. So for now, we do not worry too much about big sizes. I will continue to look for install software that will do the conversion from Megabytes of data to Kilobytes of data

So it seems that we need to resize all photos to 100K-250K first before we apply them to your upload application.

We are looking for a RESIZING application. In the past (2001), Sang Tao has looked at a package called Image Magick which has many good utilities (on the fly resizing)

Here is the link

With the right utility from the Image Magick collection of graphics tools, you can automatically resize all photos to 640 x 480 first before you use them to upload to the boxes.

I hope this will help.

For now, just continue the application assuming that the photos will be small. I consider that to be well done. When you have time, study IMagick

640 x 480
1600 x 1200 (most popular size)
2048 x 1536
2592 x 1944

It is the ratio between the width and height which is important when resizing

You can see that it is almost 4:3 ratio

So if you do not want the photo to stretch, when you design the BOX,

always make the BOX 4:3

width of box is 4
height of box is 3.

It will work all the times.

I hope this help. Try this immediately and you will see.

Thanks for the great work last week. I am pleased with the CP Application linking with the Map feature.

This is the list to do for this week:

a) You need to link the 2 store blogs of La Fashion and P Beauty and Nail Salon to the Business Listings web site BL

Here is the link to BL

b) On the side bar of the CP blog, you need to put a title named “MAP” o tren text:
“People who send conlolences…….listed here”

c) Remove the “photo uploading” feature that you are working on inside the CP.
I prefer that we do this project as a separate project. I explain below

—————————————————————————————–

Project: Upload photo from user’s hard disk to a pre-determined layout of a template

a) We will start with a layout. In this case it is a layout of 3 pictures.

b) The “Browse” and “Upload” buttons are shown as in example. Study how I put the Browse window insid ethe box to tell the user that this photo will go inside that box

Last month, you worked with Trang to create Banner Sign (BS) and Store Sign (SS) for a few shops.

I need a few SS and Blogs. So let’s go to our BL site to explain what I want: (Khanh is in charge of this site)

Click Here

The category in this Listing is Beauty and Nail Salon.

It has 1 blog already called Annie Hair and Nail. When user clicks on Photo Link (PL is 75 x 75 icon), it goes to the blog.

There are 2 generic PL that do not have a Generic blog yet, so we want to create them.

a) First we have to have Trang create the SS for

La Fashion Hair and Nail

Perm- Manicure- Pedicure

P Hair and Nail Salon
Perm- Manicure- Pedicure

b) I will send you two (2) Banner Signs (BS ) + 1 Side Bar photo by email

c) Using a) and b) , you can create for Chu 2 “generic” blogs.
A generic blog co BS, SS, SB (side bar), rat don giang.

Chu list an example of a generic shop

d) Sao khi co xong Blogs, Chau link vao 2 sites tren Business Listing.

Thanks

Chu de nghi Tam tiem latitude va longitute cua may thanh pho do truoc.

Software cua chau phai smart:

a) Allow people to enter a “new city” that is not on your list. Minh dau co biet nguoi Viet o dau khap xua Phap va Uc, minh phai cho ho option do, neu khong ho khong thay ten city cua ho, ho se khong sai service cua minh.

b) Take that “new city” and always use: Paris lat/lon for France and Sydney lat/lon for Australia for that city.

Vi ban do tuong doi nho, khi minh de Marker len Paris hay Sydney, hy vong la khong co xa thanh pho that su cua nguoi user.

In the future, we will fix this feature

I have this idea that I would like for you to try.

So far we have use AJAX to “Dynamically” change photo and text very well such as in CP and PU. The photos are always stored on OUR server.

I would like

A. to allow USER to load Photos from their HARD DRIVE in an AJAX environment, meaning that the Web page does not get refreshed when the photo is loaded.

B. The Photo is RESIZED to fit exactly inside a BOX that we design. We choose the layout of the Boxes

Take a look here

You see that there are 3 photos of different shapes in the posting.

Thi Du:

Minh tao cai blog nay, minh se co 3 blank BOX co size khach nhau. Minh de user load hinh tu hard drive cua ho. User click vao BOX 1 roi load hinh vao BOX 1 do, hinh se tu dong resize de fit voi cai BOX 1.

Nhu vay, sau 3 lan load, thi cai blog se co 3 hinh ma layout tuong tu nhu minh muon.

Minh design Template, minh muon control cai layout cho dep. User khoi co phai resize ma cung khoi phai layout may hinh.

1. CAO PHO:

2. PHAN UU:

3. NEW FEATURE ON SIDEBAR

Nhu vay, Lien se add feature Map , phia duoi cua About and Condolence section.

People who send conmdolence are listed here ( thanh pho cua nguoi Phan Uu se duoc listed o day)

Khi user click vao day, a new window se open up voi markers.

Chu nghi nhu vay la Lien complete duoc cai cycle

(CP—–>PU—–>PU) + new feature : Map (Tam)

Let’s implement the whole cycle from the begining:

First Create a CP, then a PU is created, then another PU is created and the Map is updated at each step.

At the begining, the Map has only the CP marker but when a PU is added, a new marker is added to the Map…..

It will be a good project when it is finished

Chu Le

Sometimes I just post 1 posting in 1 blog instead of 2 blogs: 1 for you and 1 for Tam. Since it is the same project. I wil post in 1 blog. I will continue to post in this blog but it will be about current project not common project. The URL is:

http://cinevie1.blogsome.com

where both you and Tam will get the instruction for the new project. So bookmark that site

Chu Le

I would like to do a project that makes use of experience from both Lien and Tam.

Lien has done a lot of work with blogging, especially in creating obituary and condolence messages

Tam has done a lot of work on Maps, Markers and links on Side Panel.

The project that I have in mind will make use of both of your expertise is this:

a) Nhieu gia dinh nguoi Viet o khap noi tren the gioi

b) Khi 1 nguoi mat o ben My (thi du), gia dinh ben My dang Cao Pho

c) Ba con hay ban be cua nguoi mat o khap the gioi (Vietnam, Uc Chau….) khi hay tin, co the goi Phan Uu qua Internet

d) Project ma Chu muon lam se ap dung maps de show location cua nguoi goi Cao Pho va location cua nguoi goi Phan Uu.

b) update rat la nhanh.

c) hay nhat la user thay final product trong luc lam editing

d) Chu thay cai feature ‘Change banner” rat la hay. Khi user doi banner, this chi co hinh la update ma thoi, con nguyen page does not get refreshed. Excellent implementation. I love this feature.

Khi user click “Submit” button, thi trang tuong tu (equivalent) cua web page nay se duoc implement duoi dang BLOG

Chau co the finish cai Cao Pho design nay sau khi add the “Submit” button and the final Blog.

In the body text of Cao Pho, at the end of the text, add in big letter (smaller size than the letter of Cao Pho) a link named:

“Click de Phan Uu”

(this is the same as having create a condolence in the sidebar except that it is in BIG letter and inside the body text so that user can see the feature)

Then when people click on it, a Phan Uu web page will come up.

You will design this new Condolence page in the same way as you designed the Obituary page (i.e. use AJAX for text and photo)
