the internship seeking activities you are doing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally have work started on the second internship! Plus, I am wrapping up work on the first internship. So I’m keeping my eyes open but pretty occupied trying to wrap up what I have before semester’s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the internship work you are doing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The work I am doing has mostly been powering through the tough parts of the first internship to get to a better place on both websites. Contact Forms have been figured out, another page has been finalized, and we are pretty close to going live with our design, which involves a migration of the WordPress instance to the final domain\/hosting destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the experiences you are having<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Feeling good about the progress I’ve made; taking inventory and making steps to ensure I will complete what I have before the end of the course. It appears daunting now, but making a plan is the key to making progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

mini tutorials or examples of work you did<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This week I’ve utilized the most important resource you can during this project: Your client! After showing Tammy my progress with the websites I went and showed my client the progress as well, where I got some further advice and clarification on the contact form and other pages I’ve worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, with the Contact Form, there were multiple approaches I could take to recording the user input of Date and Time. There were plenty of attractive solutions available with a nice interface serving as plugins for Contact Form 7. I quickly was greeted with limitations on these plugins; they either wanted a Pro membership for full access to features, or wanted permissions to the WordPress instance that I felt were an unnecessary overreach and did not choose to “opt-in” to the plugin’s services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I checked how the time was recorded on the old website’s form (with permission from the client) using Chrome’s “View Source” module… to find that the user’s inputted time was a simple drop-down all along! (e.g. “12:00AM”, “1:00AM”, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just goes to show that your client and the old website may be a more valuable resource to you than you may think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
