bookswap's Issues

Allow editing and deleting listings

Since deleting right now is temporary. Editing as phpmyadmin does for it's rows might be useful, if a little hard to implement.

Add "no results found" when a search or category is empty

Create email functionality

This must be well thought out. Is there a way for us to avoid having the admin configure a mail server/SMTP info? The less technical the set-up, the better. An internal messaging system might be useful here to avoid email completely.

Make book condition a set dropdown with preset choices

Like "new, mint, used, extremely used", etc.

Make API search more robust

OpenLibrary often does not have the right textbooks or has malformed or incomplete information, so we have to query several APIs and aggregate the best results somehow.

Enable adding user images

Allow users to post photos, either by uploading or by taking a picture with a webcam. Upload should be secure, consider using Imgur API to prevent upload exploits.

Add suggested price using Amazon API or other listings

Enable customization for different universities

Think how to maximize customization through config file; color scheme, etc.

Search existing listings when a user types in ISBN and display them

Put the UNIVERSITY_NAME constant in <title> tags

So that each page has the uni name in the title. This is a step towards creating one header file that can then be included in each page.

Make browsing sortable by any column

Probably use JQuery for this.

Fix search
