manager's account

[TLC]

I need help implementing a managers' account seperate from the normal user account, and it should work in a way that allows managers to create multiple listings without having to remember multiple passwords.

Managers should be able to login, view their listings links and edit each one accordingly, instead of remembering every resource id and password.
Is such a thing possible?

I tried amember, but how do I link all ids to the correct manager account and prevent it from being touch by others.

I am also struggling with other customizations but I am pretty sure this is one i can never figure one, so I am willing to pay for it depend on affordability.

Hi,

I did something similar for a former client of mine, as they wanted something similar to your set up.

The only way i could do it was using an additional members authentication system. I think i used vauthenticate then hard coded the links to get all of the listings under their username show up.

You have to create a new field within your links table, then cross reference this value into the members authentication system username field - i.e. both fields show the same value.

If memory also serves me correctly you have to manipulate certain parts of php code to make it all work properly. I think i ended up using a hacked version of search.php to call up all links within a certain "account" links. The whole process took me two days to build from scratch, and you need a good understanding of how both systems work to even attempt it. Its all trial and error on the first attempt.

Hope that helps
