5. Database Relationship

3.2 Programmers Point of View

The earlier section covers the schema of the project with the design of the tables being created. For all pages we are going to use JSP as frontend and MySQL as backend.
Login Page:

We are going to verify the login credentials from user table. If user enters valid information he/she will get logged in and home page will get displayed. If person is new user he will select register page option.

Page 24

Larkut.com

This page will take basic user details and after checking all the values (eg. Empty values, Invalid Password etc.) It will insert all the values in the register table. After successful inserts, user will get directed to login page.
Home Page:

On the home page, we will have friends list displayed in html table on the right side of page and all these values will be retrieved from friends table. This page will also have links to pages like videos, blogs etc. The middle part of home page will have entries displayed from user table.
Edit profile page:

Once the user has logged on, he can change the profile details by using the edit profile page. When the user reaches this page, data will be obtained from the user table and displayed in the respective text boxes. The user could change these details if he wishes to do so. After he finishes editing the details he can click the update button. When this button is clicked the new details will be updated in the user table. These new details will be selected from the user table during future references.
Video Page:

For video page we are going to use YouTube API. We will have search video option. After searching the videos, option will be provided to user for adding the video to his/her profile. For this functionality will add the Embed details for that video will get added to video tables. All the profile videos will get displayed on the right hand side of the page.
Photo Page:

On the image page we will have browse button. User will select the image file from his local machine and click on add Image. After adding the image, the image will be stored in the images folder on the server. And the URL of that image will be stored in the images tables. Below the browse button, all the images added for the current user will get displayed from images table.
Sell page:

This page will allow the user to add the image of the product he wishes to. The uploaded image would be stored on the server and the image link would be saved in the table. Along with the product image the description of the product and the start price is entered in the table. The page would also have the option of adding more products if the user wishes to. In this scenario the entries would be added in the table. If the user wishes to see all the items which are up for sale, the user can click on the link List of All Items .All the information about the products would be retrieved from the product table.
Buy Page:

This page shows the Interface through which the user can Bid for the products available for the user. This page requires some validations like for example, the product owner must provide with an initial price. User who wants to buy product can comment on the product detail page and contact the owner.
Blogging Page:

The blogging page would give you create new blog post form. The user will enter the title of the blog post and the contents of the blog post in the respective text boxes. After entering the user will click the create button. When the create button is clicked the title of the blog post and the contents of the blog post will be saved in the blog table. All previously stored blog posts will be retrieved from the blog table and displayed below to create new blog form.
