Hi All,
this is more a design question as well as seeking guidance from people with better knowledge of drupal. I want to build a website that enables
1- posting of a product (i will create specific content type) .
2- search and filter matching results
My initial idea is to allow for two major type of users, individuals & traders. individuals can be anonymous or registered members, while traders (company) must register first before they can post a product.
the way I imagine implementing it is to create a new content type ,using CCK, that traders will use to register first, the website admin then will approve and create users linked to the business. for the trader to post a product, he/she must login then use a product content type to make a new post.
Individuals they can either post as anonymous or after login.
As a result of this the website will have posts that are either linked to an individual or a trader
i am really not sure if this is a good idea or good approach! will it be better to provide the user type (individual / business) in the user registration and giving user the option to fill company details. the most important this is that people are able to identify post type (individual/ trader) as well as being able to search using specific trader name etc..
any recommendation of existing modules that I can use?
hope my question is clear!
looking forward to hear from you soon
thanks
