I used to be really into building computers and selling them and I wanted to sell them over a web site. I worked on this web site almost solidly through 9th grade but then as soon as summer came, I decided that it was a stupid idea to sell computers over the internet. anyway, I was pretty proud of this website, and I still am, I'm sad that I wasted so much time on for nothing. so, I thought so it doesn't completely go to waste, I could at least share the site and the code with you guys.
www.gregthrasher.com/cfw
it's being served off of my server on 128k-up dsl, so mind the speed
also, the site of course isn't nearly complete, there are a lot of holes, but the system configurator part is just about complete
the best part of the site is the system configurator in the products section. you have to click digital video because the others have errors. another problem is when you get to the next page after shipping address, nothing shows up because it uses intershipper to get shipping prices, but since I last worked on the site, intershipper has started charging fees. this can be solved by just passing the server some fake shipping variables: when you're at the shipping page with no info on it, cp "http://www.gregthrasher.com/cfw/products/billingadd4.cfm?ship=ups,ground,40.35" to the url box.
an explanation of the coding of the site: the whole thing is written in cold fusion with ms access db's. one of the most useful features of cold fusion that I use frequently in the code is session variables. I also used crystal reports so that when somebody submits an order, not only is all the order info inserted into the db, but a page is also printed from my printer that has all the important order info and a table for me to write in information about what and where I order components from. if you'd like to see the code, it's in a zip here
