How to create a user “Want” and “Have” List using pages on my site.

  • Hello all,

    I’m working on a website for record collectors. Currently, it’s a large database of records. Each record has its own page.

    I’d like to let users create an account, then be able to say “I have this record” or “I want this record” and to be able to message each other about it.

    I’d like to have a page for each members “Have list” and “want list” to be displayed.

    What’s the best way to set up user accounts for this? I’m comfortable coding, just not sure exactly where to include exactly what code.
    Thanks!

    Maybe you could leverage the built in commenting system? Add an extra field for have/want. The comment query could be altered to group all wants and haves separately, perhaps under separate tabs on the page. Inter-user communication could be by way of comment replies. If private communication is needed, comment queries could be modified so replies are only visible to the parties involved.

    I’ve not implemented anything like this, it’s just a thought. It may or may not pan out as a viable approach.

    Thank you so much! I’ll add that to the thought process.
