Hello to the vivid drupal community!
By discussing with my client the options of booking a flat within drupal, we found that it's a good idea to do it during user account registration. As we can set up custom field for that. Like address, phone we simple add the kind of flat and the dates.
This does work great for first time user. But what about people who come back? We have either to delete the account after the rental for being able to set up a new "booking" with the same email and disturb the communication in between. Or we have to ask them to book it in another way.
Now simple solutions are the best. It would be great to have an option within the user core that forces the admin to re-check the account in case of a change or when the users ask for it. Forces might not be the right term, simply give the user account the status "new" or "attention" or "notification" and set it top to the user list would be enough. Combined with diff would be great. I can even think of a lot of other uses for it, like a call for help, a hint, change of billing, all that's not indented for others, related to the user account and in any chosen context is important for the relation between user and admin.
It would be a nightmare if this is already done by a module, having spend so much time to find it. The other thing I fear is, do it with triggers? Is that possible? Like: when field "re-ceck" is set in section "admins attention" set the user status to new?
Thank for reading or considering this.
Ralf
