# Work Session Summary

## 1. Current Session: Product Location & Vendor Restrictions
**Goal:** Implement product location display, filtering, and strict admin control over locations, while removing vendor shipping fee control.

### **Features Implemented**
- **Product Location System:**
    - **Database**: 
        - Added `product_location` column to the `products` table.
        - Created a new `product_locations` table for standardized, admin-managed cities/regions.
    - **Admin Control**: 
        - Created `manage-locations.php` in the Admin Portal to Add/Delete valid locations (e.g., Accra, Kumasi).
        - Added "Manage Locations" to the Admin Sidebar.
    - **Data Entry**: 
        - Replaced free-text input with **Dropdown Selectors** in both Admin and Vendor portals.
        - Admins and Vendors must now select a valid location when adding/editing products.

- **Vendor Restrictions:**
    - **Shipping Fees**: Removed the ability for Vendors to set "Shipping Charges" on their products. This ensures standardized shipping rates controlled by the platform.
    - **Location**: Enforced location selection for Vendors.

- **Frontend Experience:**
    - **Product Page**: Displays "Ships from: [Location]" (e.g., Accra) on the product details page.
    - **Shop/Category Page**: Added a **Location Filter** in the sidebar. Customers can now filter products by city (e.g., "Show only products from Accra").

## 2. Previous Session: Fix Cart Quantity
**Goal:** Fix the non-functional quantity update buttons in the shopping cart.

### **Work Done**
- **Cart Functionality**: 
  - Implemented JavaScript logic on `my-cart.php` to make the `+` (Increment) and `-` (Decrement) buttons functional.
  - Ensured that changing quantities updates the input field and triggers the necessary cart update logic (subtotal/total).

## 3. Session Before Last: Header Responsive Design
**Goal:** Optimize the header layout for mobile devices.

### **Work Done**
- **Header Icons**: 
  - Modified `includes/main-header.php`.
  - Configured visibility rules so that strictly the **Admin Button** remains visible on small screens (mobile).
  - Hid secondary icons (Profile, Help, Cart) on smaller viewports to prevent clutter and layout breakage.
