Please I am but an entire novice to this particular..
I became asked today by just a client of our bait can we result in a web site that is capable of stealing users email correct plus their down line contact details whilst also to issue a voucher to be used in outlets… delivered via mail after payment created I dont think they are going to go with PayPal…. seriously not ha ‘
When oh where would likely I start….. My hair is coming out from pulling it… Even a totally advice as to how the website would work can be welcome…
I thanks all who support and advise…
form regards me

Hi Laidbackone, I think your pain. I’d personally research an wide open source solution including Drupal or Joomla. You could do all of that and more inside those platforms with minimal understanding of PHP / Javascript. An extension named Virtuemart in Joomla is actually super easy to set up and it has attractive features you are outlining, you needs to tweak the code a tad to fit your preferences. I am undecided of your level of experience in net development. You might also examine Magento.
Up to here is very straightforward, but until you realize who is handling the a credit card… can’t go any further
laid to come back…
Look within the WDF section on working with a programmer.
It will be worth paying a freelancer to receive you going.
They can get you where you need and offer good quality advice.
You could find someone with reasonable fees.
If you can not know much in relation to PHP or MySQL, you’re about to sink on that one.
Thank anyone peeps… my sleep went well in a given period has dawned and although Relating to not built a real site am confident seeing that I can go to brief and tell that it can be done and roughly the best way… Thank the lord i always still have a few hours before because while eyes open glimpse a wreck!
Am looking at those programmes proposed by your beneficial self axzm…. oohh how I’m keen that open form gear…
That is to handle the a credit card I dont even we have thought of that yet Shani… They see plans and money… small details just like who handles the cards can be a big decision for folks. Any suggestions
mlseim I may well have a look in the wdf to get hiring…
Thanks just as before I shall possibly be back

In my experience hiring a freelancer on the random job board to put together a website that could accept credit cards information is not advisable. Ideally you need to find a freelancer inside your ciry, a real person that you could hold accountable whenever / if things break.
Where how you can accept that credit-based card information, I know Virtuemart offers the ability to consider both paypal as well as way for customers to cover directly through your website. You will have to pay a host for your dedicated IP tackle (I recommend bluehost personally) to help you to set up https / ssl, although it’s pretty basic.
You don’t have to know mysql / or php (although the idea seriously helps in order to extend functions as well as customize components), just read all of the documentation on Joomla. org.
This is certainly one of how easy it’s on Bluehost…
A SINGLE. You login into the CP and thrust the " Fantastico" option (Joomla 1. 5) and it also automatically install Joomla.
3. You login in your admin panel with the user and password an individual created in Fantastico.
3 OR MORE. Go to http: //virtuemart. net/ and download the modern version of VM for Joomla 1. 5 VARIOUS.
SOME. Navigate to the particular " extensions" tab within the admin area and select " install / uninstall" we will have a browse button that you should locate the VM zip package deal you downloaded.
5 VARIOUS. Select the VM zip package deal and click the particular " Install" option.
Throughout about 20-45 minutes, even for a novice you have a working e-commerce website you may easily customize and edit with a wysiwyg editor. Now really building it for being seo friendly, look nice be secure… that is definitely not so quick.
Thank you axzm am busy evaluating that now… Yes bit of your novice on the subject of building sites this way one… although not fazed by what it’s that I can do. If built before might be built again and with the introduction of such open source programmes while you have suggested might most likely make it soooo incredibly easier than had that they asked me to begin this in the soon after 90’s early 2000’s!!!
When you mentioned Fantastico job application that sprung the light in my home little head. I curently have hosting (reseller) together with Hostgator. com and they get access to this as very well via my CP there. From what I’m sure so far, I would be able to build the web-site using Joomla for the real tweaking use a local programmer
As I are in London UK WHEN I guess I have to find one. This to generate the site protected and work as smooth as clockwork. Or so I hope
Thanks casual one
Indeed. Use the CP Fantastico setup to install Joomla so you can show your cleint quite a few progress, then locate a certified programmer LOCAL that knows the Joomla program. Never let a few random person on the web have access to your website that exchanges credit-based card information, unless these are a highly responsible person / company with all the appropriate credentials.
So to find one, simply search google for " London Joomla Group" and see if there is a meet-up and also website where most of these individuals congregate locally. E-Commerce websites needs to be handled by some sort of local developer due to the obvious sensitive nature of the information, so local can be best!
A SINGLE. Joomla. org can respond to every question you could have (pertaining to Joomla) in the event you search the forums with all the keywords of the question you’ve.
3. If Joomla doesn’t develop the answer, use Search engines.
3 OR MORE. If you even now can’t find a solution, ask a programmer… working in london preferably.
Hi there
If it were me I’d personally do this using ASP/VBscript including a SQL Server database but that is definitely only because We are used to coding in that language. The first stage is usually to design the pages that happen to be to capture the user information. I have developed an analogous project where users have to " register" ahead of getting quotes for items. When they signup they give not difficult information to make the task quick, such as title and email address and a password. This part must be quick otherwise it will eventually put users down. This data goes suitable database table known as " tUser" but the truth is can call it what you wish, for instance " RegistrationData" etc (using an effective SQL insert query). They can then login utilizing their email deal with and password (which is held in the database table) and adapt a " line basket", very similar to a shopping bag. When they found yourself in actually requesting the quote for all the items in his or her basket (in your case it might be the shopping basket) a questionnaire pops up wondering them to enter in slightly more information as a way to process their estimate, in your case it will ask them to be able to enter a offering address and call number – that data could subsequently also be inserted into your tUser table (a very simple SQL update query). I further developed the system to keep the quote gift basket data, so users could check out historical quotes in addition to use them again – in your case it would end up being historical shopping the basketball. The payment side (page where the user enters its card details) will have to be handled by a secure SSL page provided by the Payment Service Provider (PSP), like a company called Protx (that is one I know of in the uk but not sure where you are based) – the customer would first require region merchant number from their bank, or if your customer can’t get a web merchant number they’ll use a company like World Pay which handles all of the payment page but isn’t going to require the customer to get an internet service provider number. Downside is payments have a lot longer that they are put into the particular client’s bank but is easy for start up small enterprises. Research has for being done in this area to get the best PSP’s.
As said above it will be quite hard to perform any of this without perception of SQL and scripting dialect.
Hope it works out and good chance!
Cheers
Matt.
