SleepOutside Explanation
I worked on several aspects of the SleepOutside Project. Here is a list of addtional features outside of the team assigned cards that I completed for the site.
- Add discount to product detail pages
- Add item to cart broken
- Animate cart (backpack) icon when item added to cart
- cart.html error with empty cart
- Discount flag on product detail
- Discount indicator-product listing
- Duplicate items in cart
- Product Comments
- Quick lookup
- Remove from cart feature
SleepOutside Solution
GitHub Pages does not allow http requests and gives an error. I came up with a work around to be able to run our site through GitHub pages. I found the solution by searching for answers on the internet. (Just another example of me being able to bridge the gap of knowledge by finding other resources.)
In order to be able to run our the sleepOutside website through our GitHub pages you have to open the console and when you click on a product an error will show with the following website listed: "https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/ http://157.201.228.93:2992/products/search/ sleeping-bags" or whatever product type you clicked on for the ending (tents, hammocks, backpacks). If you go to that site it will show a button to click for temporary permission. After you click on that it will allow you to run the site - pretty much like normal.
There is a glitch to be aware of. If you click on all four product type going back and forth it will sometimes link to the incorrect product. I have had to do a hard reset and eventually I can get to each product with the links. I think because it is being transferred through this other site to become a https request it is the correct product link is getting lost sometimes and the one that was there before stays with it. That's a little annoying, but at least you can pretty much run and test the functionality of our sit and work with this work around.
