Reference for Github Project Management:
Create a page that shows the information about an individual ad. This page should show all the information about that ad, as well as the information about the user that posted the ad.
Your ads index page should contain links to each individual ad page.
You should have one page that displays the information for any arbitrary ad. Consider passing the id of the ad as a parameter in the GET request to this page.
Implement functionality that allows users to search through the ads in your database.
Show user's ads on their profile page
When a user visits their profile page, they should see all of the ads they have created.
Change your database schema to enforce that values in the username column of the user table are unique. Make sure a new account cannot be created with an existing username.
You'll notice there is some duplicated code in our ads DAO and our users DAO. How could you create an abstraction for this?
Wouldn't it be nice if our navbar showed different links depending on if a user was logged in or out?
You will need to make some changes to the frontend so that users can discover this functionality, as well as implement the backend logic necessary to update your database.
Ensure that the data we get from our users is valid before saving it to the database. Consider creating some classes related to validation.
Isn't it frustrating when a site won't let you submit a form but won't tell you why? Implement functionality to display error messages to users if they do something wrong, for example, if they try to register but their passwords don't match, or if they try to create a ad without a title.
Consider storing error messages temporarily in the session and having a messages.jsp partial to handle this.
When a submission is rejected because one or more of our validation constraints fails, we should still see the old values in the form for creating an ad, the users' input should not be erased.
Create a catagories table and implement all the backend logic necessary to tie a category to an ad. This should be a many to many relationship (an ad can have many categories, and a category can have many ads associated with it).
While bootstrap is very helpful, our site could look much better than an out of the box bootstrap website. Recall your CSS prowess and style it up!
