Individual User-based Catalogs
Submitted by ciperl@drupal.org on Mon, 03/24/2008 - 17:58
I've got a project on my burner right now that has a requirement for each user of the site to have their own individual catalog. They are a printing company who wants to allow their customers to re-order past invoices/orders by selecting the items from their individualized catalog. Is this even possible with UberCart?
I'm assuming this can be done completely by Views, which is what I'll start working on. If anyone knows that I'll be hitting a brick wall and I won't be able to create individualized product catalogs then PLEASE let me know. This is exactly what I would like to offer my users as well. They not only have the rights to add a product but have their own customized catalog of their own products in my case it would be for their own music CD's etc. I guess the main problem here would be configuring the paypal for multiple accounts from one site, I'm just guessing. For my requirement each purchase would need to go through each users own paypal account and not mine for the entire site. I will keep looking at this post for any response on it. I first need to iron out other issues I am having before I need this feature but I definitely am interested, great request  ciperl@drupal.org: I've not been using ubercart for that long (but i love it and am currently building 3 sites using it). Sounds more like you want to use the 'My Order History' and add a button to 're-order' that invoice. Totally doable in ubercart. Drupal is really nice to work with IMO. I'm guessing you'd want to make a module that adds a column to the table on that page with a button which adds that same order to the users cart. Anyhoo, just my 2 cents, I'd also love the ability to assign users with a the Role of adding their own products. The payments would all go to the sites paypal account and then make payments out to the owners of the products. So the site gains a commission for the service. matt   Sounds more like you want to use the 'My Order History' and add a button to 're-order' that invoice. Totally doable in ubercart.

The "Reorder Button" Contribution (http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/3734) does exactly this. I'm assuming this can be done completely by Views, which is what I'll start working on.

Yes, Views is a good way to go, and should let you do what you want. The "Reorder Button" Contribution (http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/3734) does exactly this.
Well there you go, someones already done it. Ubercart totally rocks
