Personalized Pages

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have a company that sells and fixes PCs.

As part of their website they want personalized client pages.

It will work like this.

1/ At Registration client enters details of all software and hardware, details of their ink cartridges, software versions, PC type and model etc.

2/ After Registration and also when they subsequently log in they will go to this personalized page. Their name will be at the top and their consumable details will be listed with icons perhaps.

3/ The client will then be able to place orders to purchase their relevant consumables from their client page.

4/ It will be linked to Core Commerce and will show whether items are in or out of stock.

WHAT I NEED TO CREATE

1/ I need a template or membership page type that will display the information entered at registration time and also the ability to edit or add to that information.

2/ I need the relevant shop items displayed on the page with all details etc.

I sense that most of this could be done out of the box, but I could use a little advice in sorting it out.

I'd suggest you take a look at the profiles for something like this. Each user would register (and fill out initial information). Then they can log in and check their profile and edit the info and update the picture. After that, you could create a form for them to submit with the next process and link that with their profile/user.

If you want to setup Profiles, it's a bit confusing but I got through it.
Here is the documentation link that kind of helps with the more advanced stuff but misses the initial stuff, in my opinion:
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/permissions/profi...

So you'll want to go into the dashboard and first enable profiles, and enable the users signing up (all under users). After that, if you go to your site map, and click on system pages and find profile and view it, it will show you your profile (as the user you are logged in as, but that link will work with others for their profiles). I think though, to get that link working you'll need to copy the single pages from the /concrete/single_pages directory to the single page directory via ftp as it says in the link above.

Hope that helps get you started.
Other form uses, please correct anything I missed / that was incorrect. (I'm new to this too)
