Re: creating a personal account for each member | | You are describing a scripted function, one that would be core to the very foundation of the site --- seen most often in shopping carts where customers can log in, see past purchases/invoices, check on status, etc.
Other foundations such as a CMS or dynamic build also have these types of User Profiles and accessibility parameters built in, but not with the ability to review past purchases (downloads, for many carts are downloaded product enabled), shipment status, etc.
I suggest you look at a simple and robust web desiging tool that has an eCommerce script like what you are looking for already built in, as seen in Soholaunch. You can "retard" the regular shopping functions or enable them according to will, but Soholaunch offers you the versatile "web-building" aspect the others do not. Soholaunch is offered Free with every VodaHost Account, and may be easily installed with just a few clicks of the mouse via Fantastico! in the account's Control Panel. |
