Hello,
I'm working with a client whose customers need to upload files (and input other information) to their order. There are lots of attributes involved, and it's a complicated store setup overall. I was looking into uc_node_checkout, as that seems to be the closest to what we're trying to do. However, the core version of it will need lots of customizing because it doesn't exactly turn orders into nodes...
The desired "system" would be triggered when a standard Ubercart order is created. At that point, the order-node setup could use CCK to automatically generate the necessary fields, etc. based on the order and attributes involved. Once the order became a node (or a node connected to the order), they would upload their files through the node, and custom workflows could be made using the Rules module (to send a message when a file was uploaded, for example).
I searched for a while to see if anyone has attempted something like this, but found nothing. So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about this. Assuming a custom module will be needed, how difficult do you think this would be? Any other ideas on how to implement this idea? Thanks for your input!
Jim
