im currently considering about whether i should take a opensource cms or make it by myself.
First of all, i've nerver used a cms to design a app.
now i have the following need that the cms has to meet.
It is an online shop that needs:
- a stockage control (for the web)
its for hardware and for software too (e.g. Webspace ...)
- shopping cart (of course)
if you buy something you need to be register.i'll explain, you can add
something to a shopping cart, without user.you can see, you can navigate
througth the web. but when you checkout your order you need to put your
register name, or register, you can n't buy something without
register..also, when you login you can view your actual cart, and old carts,
or the tracking number to follow your order, the status of your order, etc.
-There are 4 types of user:
Admin (No comments)
Resseller. This user can make sell any item of the web, but with other
price, not with the public price, they have an discount percentage of the
normal/public price. This discount is asigned by the admins users.
Corporative User. They can view the status of all services that they
contract with the Web. Of course, they also can buy in the web.
User. It's the common user. Only can buy, and view the status of they
cart, order, etc.
- we have 3 method of shipment, credit card, bank transfer or pay in
arrive(maybe it's not the rigth name to the last, but I don't know the rigth
name)
When some customer checkout one order, this order, the details, needs to be
send to one e-mail. The admins user can change the reception e-mail of the
orders.
The items, or the things, that we sell, not necessary is a physical obejct,
like an VGA card, or printer, can be a not physical object, like domains
parking, or internet acces account.
Of course the admin, can manage all of the web, creating or deleting all
things, items, clients, accounts, etc.
Ok, it's a short description, I'll try to give you one more detaill project
at end of the the week, but I want of you, meditate about of this. if you
have question,ask me.
Thats what my friend gave to me recently, i'll do it for him.
any ideas/experiences whitch cms system is the best for such an approach?
I've looked at many onlineshops, but noone can provide the needed features.
