Hi,

I have a unique project that I want to build it with Drupal. I really need your help/suggestion how to accomplish this project.
It's kind of Meetup between ‘Supplier’ and ‘Buyer’, where my client want to separate domain name between Supplier and Buyer (so the project will share one database for 2 domain eq. Supplier.com and Buyer.com) for registration.
Site for ‘Supplier’ is only provide ‘registration’ and detail information (what he sell, country origin, language, service, etc) about user (user profile), But Buyer site has something additional feature.
Registered User in ‘Buyer’ site can see/search short information(teaser) certain ‘Supplier’.
But If ‘Buyer’ want detail information about certain ‘Supplier’, buyer can click ‘buy it now’ the information to do E-commerce transaction.

The conclusion about the project is, my client want to build shopping cart, but the ‘cart’ is only contain/selling of user profile(user information) from ‘Supplier’ role that have been generated from eq: Supplier.com

I know that Drupal can Split 2 sites while using one (1) database, so Admin can sharing the same information from those 2 site. However the challenge is how can I build this ‘shopping cart’ where the Cart is the ‘user profile’ information NOT products.

Do I need to duplicate/convert information from ‘user profile’(who has Supplier Role) to Node based, so I can use pay-per-Node Module?

*what modules that I need to finish this project?
*Drupal 5 or 6 ? is the best for this project

Any Suggestion/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I think you'll need to make your Supplier profiles node based. Node Profile can do this, but I haven't tried integrating it with Pay-Per-Node and EC. I can't imagine too many problems with this approach though.

I'm not sure you could achieve this with Drupal 6 unless all the necessary modules have been upgraded to version 6, but that would be the only reason to choose Drupal 5.

Good luck

Thanks for reply, Matt.

I think i'll stick with Drupal 5 fo now. And find the best solution for the 'payment' process.
I still looking for which payment system cart is the best for this transaction either Ubercart, Ecomm, or Pay per Node.

I think there something else that i need to do research for this project.

Any sugesstion ??

what is the price to "buy" a profile?

if the price is small, (say less than $5), dont ask the buyer to pay every time.
pay = redirect to 3rd payment gateway, input credit card no, ....it is a waste of time.

if the price is not small, worthy to do payment every time, ubercart can help u.
