Joomla/ Magento Trial

***I'm in search of a coder to supply 3-5 eCommerce projects per month. The below is a trial project to test your abilities*** Objectives 1. To demonstrate your ability and professionalism in working with CSS, PHP, Javascripts, Joomla & its components; 2. To demonstrate your ability in delivering fundamental & typical tasks which will appear in projects with Crease Media in the future. The Task Upgrade the current existing website of crease media into the nominated server with the following: - upgrade an existing site [login to view URL] from old Joomla version (v.1.0.2) to version 1.5.2+ into the new development server( see below for details); - retain the same design layout as the existing site; - retain the existing components or find an equivalent which is compatible with the version 1.5.2+ eg. Install the latest version JCE Editor component for the Admin as the existing version would be outdated for the new version; - retain the existing database to transfer over to the new one; - apply the following new components: - install this free component for blog ([login to view URL]) design for it will be provided; - apply an SEF for both languages (spanish and english); - apply a poll in the RHS (Right-Hand-Side); - retain Joomfish for the multi-languages but upgrade it to make it compatible with v.1.5.2+ - apply cc newsletter to replace 'Letterman' component retaining the existing templates and functionalities; -Apply Javascript to Portfolio window: it should open in a pop-up fixed window width & height without browser tools showing; - Retain the javascript for the menu and sub-menus; Points to Consider: * The LHS (Left-Hand-Side) columns & RHS columns should allow for future inserts of jpgs, gifs, articles (static) short descriptions, and swf files; * The ccNewsletter should allow a customizable CSS to be used in its editor to apply to templates (similar to how it is now with Letterman); * The portfolio section is the key part of this website so please be sure to retain the way it was built, if in doubt, ask ; * be sure to work directly off the development server (details below) for me to monitor your progress at a daily basis; Crease will upload actual content. Key points for Delivery: 1. Test the website in both Mac/PC (explorer 6+, firefox 3+, Safari 3+) for consistency in layout issues for CSS compatibility; This is crucial that you show good ability in testing your own work without my involvement; 2. note: I'd want a simple change-log of all code alterations & code comments on the PHP files where needed. change-logs should include: - date & name of coder; - name & path of file where code was changed; - line number of the lines changed Inside the files, there should be comments with short descriptions of the task under // tags; email me the change-logs on a daily basis or at bare minimum every 2 working days to show your progress; 3.
