Hi I'm after a solution to a problem I have. I'm building a small site for charity which the the client wants to email(with a url link) to say 1000 selected companies but only wants them to be able to view the site and register interest and not anyone else or if they forward the mail to a non prefered client? Any help to point me in the right direction would be good thank-you.

Hello first time poster here .

Soni have been in the proccess of designing a website that would give images to users . But only owner of an image will get thier own image .

And some people may not access thier image whom are invalid untill i make them valid users.

Si.my problem is i want to stop people from accessing these images by typing thier mysite.com/path and these files only be accessable via a php that is in my website .

How do i go about doing that .

Is it iam my new to this or there is not a convenient way to do this .

Thanks in advance

Hi, I wanted to create a dynamically generated shop using php and mysql inside an existing wordpress site. I have an idea but would like your input as to whether my theory would work or if there would be an easier method I am overlooking.   I know there are a few plugins out there and I've chosen "wp shopping cart" but this just creates a shortcode which you can add some information into like price and name which then process's in to paypal.   My idea is to create a database containing lots of data like item number, name, price, shipping, thumbnail and image. then dynamically create my shop layout around it based on three different types of page. The main page which lists various categories of item which I will probably use static code for as there are only a few. The category pages that will contain a grid of items within that category with a thumbnail and its name. And finally the item page containing all the item specific data including the button by the "wp shopping cart" plugin.   My questions are, to create the category page could I create a loop where I could have an "item div" created with the item info inside until theres are no more items left in that category in the database? so if the where 10 items in the category and I used css to make it each item div 25% width I would have 2 1/2 rows? for example if 1 exists look for 2 if 2 exists look for 3 etc until it can't find anymore and breaks the loop?   The main point for this is that its dynamically generated so all I would need to do is update the database and it will show on the website but being wordpress how would I integrate this? how would I make it seo friendly? I've looked in to taxonomy but not sure if thats the right way to go. I know I can create templates that repeat the main code and just insert database values depending on the item but how would I define the item? should I do it by passing php through the url depending on what they click on?   I appreciate this is a lot to take in but would be really grateful for some answers and tips, or even a link to a similar example as the ones I have found are close but not quite what I'm trying to do    

Hi all,  I have quite a big issue regarding an e-commerce site I'm in the process of redeveloping.    The company whom I work for sell hundreds of event tickets to clients worldwide. I've been tasked with rebuilding the entire shop as its very basic at the moment, and only accepts PP express. The shop itself only has a few categories so the design / layout isn't a problem for me. The main issue is with the dev site of things. They want me to integrate a so-called 'white label' or 'affiliate' type system so that other 'agencies' can register with ourselves. From there they would have access to our product list and be able to add them on their own shop. In turn they would receive a commission for every sale.    I was thinking about going with Prestashop or Drupal but this kind ingratiation has me thinking if its even possible. I'm not even sure if there are any off-the-self solutions that would do exactly what we need, without hiring a developer.. anyone here have any experience building a similar system?     Any guidance of any of this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 4T7
