Add multiple links from one user

[brickholius]

Hi i want people to be able to have more than one link...well actually unlimited. How can i make it so one person can have multiple links? I want to make it like a product directory and people can have links to their products.

Thanks!

to clarify :

you want a user to be able to add "products" rather than a whole site of products. for example "bob" runs an electric store, so he may want to add a kettle and a phone... correct?

Well the first problem is that the ID is unique, this means to edit or modify they would always need to know the ID for each product. This could be solved by having and (edit?) link on the detail_form.html page, which could fill in the ID for you.

You would need to consider this a lot, its quite a change. I would setup a first product listing, where the user get the password. Then, they could login to the modify page and be given the option to add more products. This way you could add the same password for each product.

I would also suggest a hidden field that identified the user, (maybe the ID of the first product they added) then you could have a link that said "view other items from this seller"

just some quick ideas, its somethign that would require a lot of work.

I think it would be sensible to MAKE submitters be members. I have a gut feeling this would make implementation a lot easier.

Interesting. good points. Can members add as many links (will be products...but really just links) as they want? So what changes would need to be made if users became members? Or is it the same issues?

thanks for your input inspireme

The first link in the first link of the thread in indexuhelp forum is bad. Regarding the second...might be something to it... I really only want each member/user to only be able to add or remove their own links...which could be as many as they want and would prefer to have them edit them on the same page. Any other way to see the example page of editing all links on one page?

yes, links in forums do become out of date

Not sure if this what you want but sounds close anyway.

Saintsr, what would you charge [$] to fix this up for me? To make it so a user can add their own links and manage them from their user panel? brick
