So, yeah. More irritation regarding this project.
-MORE ANGRY!-
Guess what! There's a Part Three!
So after a lot of fighting with the code, I have a bare-bones Admin page that lets an Admin add more users. So that's a login page, forgot password page, and admin page I have coded and have actually working and they do things. You can login on two levels - base user and admin, the forgot password page sends an email to the email registered to the account with the password in it, and the Admin page lets you search the base users, edit their data, and add new ones.
The other guy? He has a blank form page that has no populated dropdowns because "there's no information yet" (I artificially added stuff to the database to check my code). He DID help fix up the CSS, which is amazing and makes the pages not look like ass anymore, but the assignment he was giving is tenuous at best.
The application gets put up onto a test server for the PM and another to look at. I provide them with an admin login and a base user login so they can see what we've managed over these two/three days of work. Of course, first thing they do is look at the base page - the one that's nothing but a skeleton with no bound dropdowns, labels, text boxes, and a save button that doesn't do anything. They look at it, he says it's because there's no data to bind (which he could, y'know, just add to the database like I did), and they go "Oh, okay" and move on.
My mostly fully functional pages? HOW DO YOU REGISTER? THIS LINK DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. IT SAVES BUT IT SHOWS THIS ERROR. All these complaints on this code that I had no hands-on experience with before and basically Jerry-rigged into working over the course of the past couple days. Oh, and my most recent additions that fixed a couple of their decried errors hadn't even been taken and added to the test server.
So, basically, they look at a non-functioning skeleton page that doesn't do anything and are fine with that. Working pages? Gotta complain the shit out of every minor issue they find with it! Really speaks volumes about their priorities, I think.
I swear to God, I can't wait for this work day to end.
