ecards

Another project for the end of September was a redesign/re-engineering of http://inspire4life.org. The old site had grown organically, the way the stuff at the back of the fridge does. It needed a big overhaul in time for their autumn event, the Puck-Putt challenge.

We had some pro-bono help from PARTNERS+simons (hooray), which laid out the basic look, feel, and structure. We were not bound to their designs, but it was great to have a stable platform to build on.

I spent some time today reworking the ecard module, knowing I'm going to need something similar at work. The main changes are:

• A few more configurable language bits, like the thank you message.
• md5-based URLs of the form ecard/view/message_hash/pickup_hash.
• A tracker that records sends, recipients, and pickups so you can tell which ecards are most popular.
