You could possibly do this with a view
Hi elgreco,
I've not done it myself but you could probably do this by creating a View as long as you are using the uc_views module.
Someone who is more familiar with this uc_views can probably say for sure but I think you'd need to use something like Order product: order_count (check to see if the 'The number of orderlines with the product' includes multiples of the same product per order as I'm not sure).
You'd probably also need to use the User: Uid Argument and then pull this into the main page of the users profile (probably not an ideal place I guess, but it gives an idea). You can use something like;
<?php
if (function_exists('views_get_view')) {
$view = views_get_view('YOUR_VIEW_NAME');
print "<div class=\"YOUR-VIEW-NAME\">";
print $view->execute_display('default', array($account->uid));
print "</div>";
}
?>This will only show for the user when they are logged in. This is probably not even an accepted way to do this :S
Failing that...the Affiliate module lists sales so you could possibly have a rummage through the code there to see how it was done.
'Hopefully' this is of some help and if I'm way off mark then maybe someone will correct it.
Re: enable users to see sales
marketplace will do that. If you fix the little bug (see the issues on Drupal.org), it will work.
