Hello again, galgal1:
  Regarding your site (http://www.htauditions.com) let's start to work
on it, at first instance, I need you to provide me a list of features
you want to have on your site.

The list of features must be simple phrases written in English, for
example:
-I need my users be able to open an account
-There will be two types of users (free and paid ones)
-Paid users will be able to upload a photo, a resume, etc
-etc
-etc

Just make the list as long as you want, there is no need to add too
much detail to the phrases, we will discuss them as we implement it.

After that, I will design the database and I will setup the framework
to start adding features.

I will use this answer to post the progress and any possible question
I have.

Feel free to request any other feature in any moment, don't be afraid
even to reestructure the work is already done, the goal is that you
get the desired website.

I will have a prototype in two/three days, I will work on my host.

Also, isolate and compress all the graphics from your site and upload
them to your website so I can download them.

Regards.
P.S. Thanks for choosing me for this job, I will do my best.

Hello Jose,
Thank you for your help. Since it will be hard for me to explain
exactly what I want I will give you some web sites to look at and work
of them. I know this web site www.TCtalent.com and I want my web site
to look something like it externaly (actualy even better if possible).
There is this other web site that I want to take the search form from 
called: http://starsearchcasting.com/search.php

I would like the people to upload their picture. Then that picture
along with their information to be put on a page that the search form
will look in for a specific type of actor or model(brown hair, blue
eyes, etc.).

If it is possible I would like to also have a form that the clients
can post casting notices and then that fom has to go to a page that
displays all of them for users to see. This page needs to look like
http://forums.starsearchcasting.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=4

Also if it's possible I would like to have only one login form for
both free account and paid account so that the user does not have to
choose free account login or paid account login before logging in.

I would like to have a page that shows all of nthe current members
with their picture and all of their basic information. The page will
be a list of all of the current members that will be automatic, every
time a new member enters their infmation it will send their
information to this page. This page has to be connected to the search
form as I said earlier so that any casting director can come in and
type in what kind of actor or model he needs and only those results
will come up.

I also have a question. I am about to buy software from a merchant
account provider so I can charge my users using credit card on the
web. From there they told me that I need to set up some kind of page
that will charge them my price ($100 one-time fee) and then this page
is somehow suppose to charge them $20 per month. This page has to be
connected to the software and that way the software finds out what to
charge the customers. Do you know how this work and how to do it?

Also can you see the banner at the top of the page and can you hear
the music that is suppose to play? If not I will fix this but I need
to know if it works or not.

That is all I can think of right now and I am sorry if this is too
much. I will take any ideas or opinions from you since you know a lot
more than me. I will get the images in one folder ready to be
downloaded as soon as I can.

If you need to know anything else please tell me right away.

You are the best!

Regards,
GalGal

Hello Jose,
I just thought of one more thing you could add onto my web site
(please). I think it needs a function where in case the user forgets
his password he can click on the forgot password button on the bottom
of the login form and go to a page which asks for his user name and if
the user name matches from the database it extracts the password and
sends it to the users e-mail.

To do this I guess we will also need a way to somehow (when a account
is first created) to check if the user name already exists and is
taken by another user so it would not exept it.

Please add these things to your list if you don't mind.

GalGal

Hello,
  Ok, so to design a website (or any other software project), the
first step is to set a list of features your project must have,
something like a TODO list. This is the list I get reading your posts:

-A home page to say welcome to the users
-The users can sign up to the website to get access to users
restricted areas
-The user can be free one or paid one
-The features available depend on the user type
-There must be a FAQ page
-There must be an About us page showing all the info of the company
-If the user is paid one, will be able to:
 -Upload a picture
 -Upload a resume
 -Setup some common information (hair color, eye color, etc)
-There must be a search page to search in the database and show up
results that meet the search criteria
-This page, must also allow to browse the users database
-There must be a forum (phpBB) to allow users post casting notices,
etc
-There must be a single login page
-There must be also an option to recover forgotten passwords
-The site must be connected to a payment gateway to charge the users
one time fee and another quantity monthly

And some questions comments:

-If the user is a free one, what features will be available to he/she?
-Regarding the pay system, I need you to tell me more about that
system, post some URL with more info
-Regarding the music, yes, I hear it

If you are agree with the list, the next step is to setup the
development framework, here is the technology I usually use:

To separate the HTML from PHP code, I use ModeliXe:

ModeliXe
http://freshmeat.net/projects/modelixe/?topic_id=92%2C96

With this template system, all the HTML is stored on separate files,
you can modify them without modify the PHP code.

Also, to design the database, I use Dezign for Databases:

Dezign
http://www.datanamic.com/dezign/

Which is a really easy tool to design your databases.

One of the features require a forum, and the forum you need is phpBB:

phpBB
http://www.phpbb.com/

So I will use the user database of this script to authenticate into
the system.

And to access databases, ADODb, which is a layer to databases:

ADOdb
http://php.weblogs.com/adodb

So as you can see, there is a lot of planning before start to code. If
you have any question about the process, just ask!! ;-)

Regards.

Hello Jose,
Thanks for helping me.

Regarding the paid account the users that have the paid account will
also (on top of what you said) be able to look at
-- acting teachers
-- photographers
-- to search trough other actors trough search form or see all of the
actors on one long page
-- post casting notices to a page that displays all of them
-- look at casting notices that were posted before
-- View a hotline page (which is currently not done)
-- Be able to logout
-- To update information or/and change password and user name


The free account they will be able to:

-- look at acting teachers
-- look at phtographers
-- to search trough other actors trough search form or see all of the
actors on one long page
-- post casting notices to a page that displays all of them
-- Be able to logout
-- look at casting notices that were posted before
-- View a hotline page (which is currently not done)
-- change password and user name
I have the link that you wanted but I don't know where to go from
there because I only talked to a sales man in person. I think the
software was called
PC Charge Express, so you can go to:
http://www.ezvisamc.com/credit_card_processing_software/
 

Please tell me if this offer is good or not and if not who would be
better.


I also wanted a radio button that tells me if they read the agreement
and agree to it, and if not it won't let them pass in the form.php and
CHECKALL2.php. I have not made the agreement yet but I am working on
it.

Thanks for all your help!

GalGal

Hello again,
Also can you see the banner at the top of the page avry time?

Galgal

Clarification of Answer by joseleon-ga on 28 Aug 2003 10:17 PDT
Hello,
  I take note of these features, I'm going to start designing the
database, I will post it soon and I will explain it to you.
  
  Regarding the payment system, I have requested them more technical
information, if you can do it in person, please do it. They should
have a technical document about connecting a website with their
payment gateway. In any case, most of that systems work in the same
way:
  -To allow an user make a payment, you redirect the user to a secure
page hosted in their servers
  -From their server, they request some information to the website
(the amount, for example)
  -The user fills all the information and performs the payment
  
 Regarding the offer, you must tell me *exactly* what they have
offered you, the information on their webpage it's not very clear, it
seems all is free when it's not, of course.
 
 Regarding the agreement, don't worry, will be on the login form.
 
 And regarding the banner on the top, yes, I see it everytime, what
happen on your system?
 
Regards.

Hello Jose,

I have called the merchant account service and I scheduled an
appointment for this Friday. I will let you know exactly what they
tell me.

As for the banner I thought the banner was showing the whole time.
Then I went to a computer diffrent from mine and it was not showing so
I tried to fix it.

Hello:
  I have finished the database design for the first needed features,
you can check it out here:
  
  http://www.xpde.com/db.jpg
  
  I have all the framework ready on my computer, the next I'm going to
do it's to setup the navigation:
  
  -I'm going to remove the button links from the flash banner on the
top and I'm going to change them to be HTML+images instead
  -The bbbbb.swf it's 1.2 Mb weight, this is TOO much, the music is
inside this flash, but I would like you to reconsider to include music
on the webpage, or at least, downsize the music quality to redice the
size of this flash
  
  After that, I will put your site online.
  
  I'm going to use the same authentication scheme than the included
forums (phpBB) to prevent double registration.
  
Regards.

Request for Answer Clarification by galgal1-ga on 30 Aug 2003 10:39 PDT
Hello Jose,
I saw the database and I thank you for this. I think you have done a
great job.
I will go ahead and take the music off of the web site right now. I
thought it would work better but I guess it didn't so I will take it
off. Please tell me if you need anything else from me. I have nothing
to do anyway.

My computer is starting to breakdown for some reason (I think another
virus) so if I don't respond right away the computer is probably
already broken down. I will probably send all of my files to the
server and then restore it and get my files back.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hello, galga1:
  I have put the site online and the login, recover password and forum
features are working right now. Check it out at:

http://www.xpde.com/htauditions

User is patarok and the password is the password you gave me.

The forum is at http://www.xpde.com/htauditions/forums

It's not possible to *recover* passwords, because are encrypted using
MD5, instead the system will send the user a new password to the
subscribed e-mail address.

I will keep you informed about the progress.

Regards.

Clarification of Answer by joseleon-ga on 06 Sep 2003 10:16 PDT
Hello, 

I have updated the online version of the website, you can check it out
at:

http://www.xpde.com/htauditions

I suggest you first to sign up with a new account, because if you use
the patarok account, there is no additional data for that account and
it won't work well.

This is the list of the things you can test, and please, don't pay
attention to the interface, first we need to polish the *usability* of
the site until works the way you want, then will be the time to polish
the templates.

You can sign up for a new account, this procedure:
-Request all the needed data
-After you post the form, the account is created as a free one and the
user is asked which kind of account wants to create
-If there is any required field not filled by the user, it requires to
do so
-Also checks the password to match the confirmation
-If the user choose the paid one, then, the type of account will be
internally changed to a paid one
-Here it's when I will link with the payment gateway, if the payment
has been processed correctly, the account will change from free one to
paid one
-Also, any free account could be upgraded to a paid one easily, I will
add this option on the account page

Now you can login with your newly created account:
-The button Login will be changed to Your account, it's ok for you?
-When you login, you are redirected to your account page, which shows
on the top:
 Your account:
    -A brief resume of the user's info
    -Name, photo, birth, resume, etc
    -Please, tell me which information do you want to be shown here
 Upload your picture:
    -A form to allow the user to upload a picture (no check yet about
.gif, jpeg, etc)
    
 Edit your resume:
    -Allows the user to edit his/her resume, can be HTML or Text
(still to remove dangerous tags)
 
 Edit your information:
    -Allows to change all the data from the user
    
 Logout:
    -Logs out the user   
    
There are some fields (combos, radios, checkboxes) that need to be
updated, but as I said before, this is not important, the important
part right now it's to close the user cycle.

Please, tell me what do you think, to continue working I need your
opinion about the usability of the site, that is, if you like the way
the user will use the site, and once again, dont pay attention to the
graphics, fonts, colors, etc.

Regards.

Hello Jose,
Everything looks great! You are a genius! I love your work!

I just want to remind you that on the previous site the user could
upload 6 pictures and be able to change them any time. Right now there
is only one picture and it won't update when I try to update it (There
must be some minor problem).

Other wise the info that is shown on the first page of my account is
perfect. That is all I want them to see. As far as the Login button
that you wnat to change to My Account, I have no problem with.

I love all of your other ideas and I think they would be perfect for
my site. I especialy love the idea that they can upgrade their free
account to a paid account! Please tell me if you have any more ideas
because I trust you so much.

Please,please,please don't forget the search form.

I can't thank you enough for all of this help.

Best Regards,
GalGal

Hello, 

I have updated the website at:

http://www.xpde.com/htauditions

These are the main changes from the past release:

-I have placed an agreement check box on the sign up page, the link
popups a window with a text you can customize to your agreement
-Now the user can upload up to 6 pictures, the first one becomes the
*default* one to be used in the info page, in search results, etc
-I have fixed the problem on refreshing images
-I have started the members page, where you can see all members, or
search them, the search still not finished
-I have configured the forum to be the place to post and read casting
notices
-I have placed the link to the FAQ page, which is managed in the admin
panel of the forums

I expect to finish it this saturday, please, send me as much feedback
as you can.

Regards.

Hello Jose,

I really love your work and I love you. I am sorry but I was a little
busy the past few days so I did not respond.

The only thing I would like to make better is could you please make
the upload resume page like the post casting page with the bold, font
and all the other extras so that they can make their resume exactly
how they want it. If you can do this that would be great. I like this
a lot!


Also when you make the page where the results of the actors and models
comes up after the search form, could you make it so that the picture
is displayed with their general information in the list and when they
click on the picture it will show the persons e-mail address, headshot
in full size, and resume. After they click the picture this page will
show up and I have to make this page so that it is not password
protected so anyone can look at this page if they know thae exact url.
I want the actors os models to be able to give castinf directors their
url and then they can go and see them with no problem. This would be
great if you can do it.


What exactly do I need to learn to do what you are doing? What books
should I get? Can you recommend anything because I really want to
learn. What language are you using exactly? Also I found a program
called Visual PHP Studio Build 156 and it says that it is by Jose
Serra Leon. Is this your program? I am starting to learn Visual Basic
but I don't really know what I can do with visual basic. Can I do the
things that you are making on my web site?

I loove everything the web site, You are the BEST!

Thank You!

galgal

Hello,

I have updated the site, you can find it as always here:

http://www.xpde.com/htauditions

This is the list of features already done:
-A home page to say welcome to the users
-The users can sign up to get access to restricted areas
-Before sign up, must agree with an agreement license
-Then, the user can choose to be a free one or a paid one
-The features can access depend on the account type
-There is a FAQ page
-There is an About page

-If the user is paid one can:
 -Upload up to 6 pictures
 -Upload a resume, the resume can contain bbCode, editor included
 -Setup common information (hair color, eye color, etc)
 -Browse/Search actors
 -Post/View casting noticies
 -Logout
 -Update all his/her information, including change their password
 
-If the user is a free one can:
 -Browse/Search actors
 -Post/View casting noticies
 -Logout
 -Update all his/her information, including change their password
 -Upgrade to a paid account
 
-Each user have a public personal page to be distributed, for example,
take a loot at:

    http://www.xpde.com/htauditions/profile.php?uid=11
    
Things left to be done:
-Integrate the payment gateway
-Look for acting teachers and photographers (How do you plan to do
this feature?)
-Finish the search page to look for all fields    
-Change the forum style to fit the site

Things you will need to do after I finish:
-Remove the music to make the flash smaller
-Change the agreement for your own one
-Edit the FAQ to put your own questions and answers
-Edit the about page to put your information

So please, tell me if the usability and features of the site are what
you want and after that we will start to fix templates to make them
look better.

Also, once you agree with all, I will send you the source code so you
can start digging it and learning ;-)

Regarding QaDRAM Studio, yes, it's a project of mine, but
unfortunately I don't have enough free time to develop it, I have to
work on a normal boring paid job to pay my bills :-(

Hello Jose,

Not only that you are very smart but you are very handsome.

As for the Photgraphers I have a web page with the listings of all the
photographers in New York, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. If you go to
the old
web page you will see that it is done, all I have to do is add it to
the other web site you made. Unless you want it to be redone I think
the one I have will work.


Also I added a feature that was suppose to give the persons password
if they forgot it by e-mail. I don't see that on any of your lists so
could you please add this feature. I am sorry if I overwork you.

As for the resume text area I think it will be too narrow to fit a
normal sized resume and not get smooshed up.
Here is a normal sized resume (go by it's size):

http://www.htauditions.com\STEFAN_RESUME2.HTML


Another thing is I noticed that when someone looks at other talents in
the search form (by the way you've done a great job with the search
form) their headshots will appeat their original size. Is there any
way that all of the heashots are a much smaller version (all of them
the same size as your picture) of their original size no matter what
it is? And by the way, is the number of pages full of members going to
grow as the number of members grow automaticly?

And the last thing is can you make the personal web site as follows:
-The resume under the pictures and wider so that it looks as it was
uploaded by the customer
-Show the customers e-mail along with the other information
-The pictures: one big one (primary) and the rest at the side of the
big one lined up vertically (the primary one must be as long as all
five of the small ones on the side)

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Best Regards,
GalGal

Hello, galgal1:

Regarding the photographers page, could you send me a direct url where
I can get the list? I need to add some login check, because that
information will be only available to those users who have signed up.

Regarding the text area to enter a resume, I will make the text box as
wider as possible, don't worry.

Regarding the size of the photos in the search page, I will make the
photos a fixed size.

Regarding the personal page, it would be nice if you send me a simple
HTML file with a sample, it must only feature the position of objects,
that's all, like a draft.

I think it's time you contract the payment gateway and finish the
integration, if you have any problems, just tell me and I will contact
with them. There will be no problems with the integration, most
payment gateways are very easy to use, just tell then you need a test
account and a technical contact mail address.

And regarding the way the site looks, don't worry, all the visual
aspect is stored in separate templates in pure HTML you can modify at
any time, the important part now it's the behaviour and to be sure the
site has all the features you need, so don't worry about graphics and
so on.

Hello dear Jose,

Thank you for helping me with these things.

As for the photographers, since you have so much to do I just need a
empty secure page so I can put the information in myself. And a button
to link this page to the menu.

As for the public page I found an example we could use for this. Here
is the URL:
 http://samples.starsearchcasting.com/
First the pictures as the way they are on there then the information
on the side (I also wanted to include Willing TO Travel Yes or No,
this questions is asked at the sign up form for paid account). Then I
want to have the persons e-mail under the picture. Then I would like
to have the persons full resume under it all.

AS for the search page with all of the members, I found a good exapmle
of what I want it to look like. The URL is:
http://www.digitalexposureinc.com/results.asp?guest=1&number=5&optionhair=All&optionheight=All&optionweight=All&optioneyes=All
As you can see they have the persons name, where they live, and some
basic information. Then they have the persons picture. There is also
some other things at the bottom but instead of that I want to have a
button for them to click on so thay can see the persons public site.
That is the basic way I would like for it to be done, please and thank
you.

Otherwise the web site looks great, you have done a wonderful job
genius. We are getting on a tight schedule so I am willing to give you
$50 tip if you can get this whole thing done by then, you desirve it
anyway.The question will expire no matter what I do since it has been
a month since we started and I would like not to have to start a new
question again. I know this is not too much and you are busy but
please atleast try to get done ASAP. I thank you for everything.

GalGal

Hello, galgal1:
  
  I have updated the web at:

http://www.xpde.com/htauditions

This is what has been done:

-Personal page (profile)
 Title on the top and page title with the name of the actor/actress
 Dynamic change of photos, when you pass the mouse over a photo, it
becomes the main one
 If you click over a photo, you get the entire photo on a new window
 The resume now it's shown at the bottom
 The user email is in the bottom of the main photo

-Search page
 The results have been formated as you requested
 The search page is available to anyone (check the button on the left
menu)
 I will try to finish the complete search process today

-Pictures page
 Some small changes

-Resume page
 The textbox now is as wider as possible

Regarding the photographers page, I just need you to post the HTML
containing the photographers list somewhere, because I have separated
the code from the HTML, you can place any page you want, and it will
be authenticated.
 
So to finish the site I just need the payment gateway account data
asap!! ;-)

When you think it's time, I will update your site with the new one.
Your word it's my command! ;-)

Regards.

I have changed my mind about the e-mail address that is at the bottom
of the persons public page. If you can make this change please do it
for me. I would be very greatful if you could please:
- Make a button instead of where the e-mail is shown under the picture
that reads CONTACT THIS PERSON
- Make this button lead to a page that asks for the Subject and the
e-mail thay want to send to the actor or model. This form will also
ask for the person that is sending the e-mail's Name, E-mail address,
and Company name. Then this will all be sent to the actors e-mail
address (including the Name of the person who wrote it, his e-mail
adress, his Companies name and the Subject and the e-mail the person
wrote to the actor). The point of all of this is to make it so that
the actors e-mail adrress is not given to people all over the world to
look at, if you know what I mean.

I will be very greatful if you can do this for me. I know I am
overworking you and I am sorry. ;-(

As for the Search pages, I don't plan these pages to be available to
the public. I want to only have this page accessed by free account and
paid account users, not by anyone. I may change this later on but for
now could you please,please change this so it is secure and all. I
already have a button ready in the account menu for both free and paid
account so you can link the search page to it. The button is called
View Talents, or something like that. You don't have to make buttons,
I will do this myself.

One more thing is the resume text area. Could you please add 3 more
buttons to the menu that you made. If you can do this, the buttons
will have to make it so that the text is aligned to the left, right,
and center. You know like the buttons in Word Pad or something that
align the text whichever way you choose.

I am sorry for adding more and more things to your list. ;-(

You are the greatest!

Regards,
GalGal

Hello, galgal1:

I have updated the online version, you can find it at:

http://www.xpde.com/htauditions

These are the changes so far:

-I have remodeled the account menu so it can hold all the options
needed and also shows some icons for the options
-The logout option is now on the main menu of the left, it's the last
button, feel free to design a Log Out button
-The search is private again and only signed users can use it, and the
button is the View Talents one, as you requested
-There are two new options on the account menu, photographers and
teachers to show the pages you sent me, these pages are plain HTML, so
you could change them at any time
-I have changed the forum style to be more similar to the whole site
-I have added the button on the profile page to allow contact actors
using a contact form instead publishing the e-mail
-I have added the third option when signing up, also, there is a link
to an external page where you can place all the info you want about
each type of account
-The forums are now private and can only be accessed by members
-Regarding the alignment options in the resume text, I'm sorry, there
are no tags for aligning text in bbCode (the format used in the
resume), I think I would need to add them to the language, and this
includes to tweek the bbCode parser, I think there is no time now for
that.

And I think there is nothing left to do, except improve the search
dialog, once you send me all the payment gateway technical data I will
start to integrate payments and finish the sign up option.

And don't worry to request more things, as I said before, the goal is
that you are happy with the results ;-)

Regards.

Hello Jose,

As you can see Google closed the question because it expired. I hope
you got you money, but I will make another to leave you the $50 tip.

I was not able to see the updates you made on the web site because
some kind of error happend. When you go to View Talents button or
Login, or any of the other buttons exept sign up there is an error and
I can't get through. Please check this out ASAP.

Another thing is I have one more idea to add to the to do list while
we wait for the Merchant Account set-up things. I would like to have
another sign up form for the my other customers that are not
actors(casting directors and agencies). I want to have the form
something like this one:
http://www.digitalexposureinc.com/agent_signup.asp
I would like to have the same fields exept middle name is not needed.
The this form (if exepted to pass) will lead them to a login just like
any other member
and from theere to a login page just like the other members exept
there will be only one button in the menu called Search Talents. This
will lead to the search form to look at members. If you are not really
busy please to this in your spare time.

     You are the best! 
 

Regard,
GalGal

Hello Jose,

I think the easiest way to do the different forms for the differnet
types of customers is to make it so that the person has an option of
selecting a Actor/Model sign-up
Casting director sign-up
Agency sign-up
right in the form just like it is done here:
http://starsearchcasting.com/enroll.php
This is exactly how I want to have it, please.
- When they choose actors/models have the same form pop up that we
have right now and it will be the same as before as to where it goes.
- When they choose casting directors have a different form come up
that asks for:
First Name
Last Name
company name
e-mail address
address
city
state
zip
phone number
I don't want it to ask for birthdate or male/female
Then this form (if exepted to pass) will lead them to a login just
like
any other member and from there to a login page just like the other
members exept there will be only one button in the menu called Search
Talents. This
will lead to the search form to look at members. 

- When they choose agency have a different form come up that asks for:
First Name
Last Name
company name
e-mail address
address
city
state
zip
phone number
Agency Lisence Number
Then this form (if exepted to pass) will lead them to a login just
like
any other member and from there to a login page just like the other
members exept there will be only one button in the menu called Search
Talents. This
will lead to the search form to look at members. 

I was not able to see the updates you made on the web site because
some kind of error happend. When you go to View Talents button or
Login, or any of the other buttons exept sign up there is an error and
I can't get through.
The error says:

phpBB : Critical Error 
Could not open subSilver template config file

DEBUG MODE

Line : 326
File : /home/xpde/www/htauditions/forums/includes/functions.php 

I am sorry about this extra work but please do this for me.
Thank you and have a nice day.

GalGal

Hello, galgal1:
  Regarding the tip, it would be better if you can add a tip to this
question instead open a new one, if it's not possible, you can open a
new question entitled something like "Integrate a payment gateway
system in my web" and we will use it to integrate the payment gateway,
no problem, whatever you think it's better.

Regarding the problem you say about the website and the view talents
option, please, try again, it seems new signed up users are set with
the old style, which has been removed. I have changed the style of
your account so you can log in now.

And regarding the different account types, I will try to finish it
today.

Regards.

Hello, galgal1:

 I have updated the site, you can find it at:
 
 http://www.xpde.com/htauditions
 
I have added the different sign up forms using a combo and changing
dinamically the layout depending on the selection, you can sign up as
an Agency or as a Casting Director, these types of account doesn't
link to the payment gateway and can only search for talents.
 
You will need to sign up again to access because I have changed the
database (added 2 fields), please, tell me if there is any problem.
 
Have you received the information about the payment gateway?
 
Regards.

Hello Jose,

No, I have not received information. It was delayed for some reasons.
I will let you know when I get it. Please wait.

I looked at the web site and I think you did everything great. Thank
you for doing all of this for me. It is just AWESOME! I don't know
what I would have done without you.

Thank you for you kindness, undrestanding, and you great work.

I will keep you updated on the Merchant Account.


I may have another project in the near future that I would like for
you to help me with. Don't worry I will do my best to make the next
one easier for you because now I will know exactly what I want. I am
sorry I was so picky with this web site, it won't happen again. Please
tell me if you are interested in doing another web site.

Regards, 
GalGal
