Hi,
I am pretty interested in Content Builder and want to start working with it. However, before I am getting dissappointed on half way, I would like to get your opinion, if the concept I have, is actually doable with CB? Here is a summary:

WHAT IS PLANNED?

I am planning an ordering system for people (BUYERS), interested in daily deals. The BUYERS can choose between several companies (SUPPLIERS) and therefore choose one “best deal of the day” from one of the SUPPLIERS. The selection can be done on a daily basis – or once a week for the whole upcoming week.

Basically, when the BUYER logs into the Website, he sees a simple week overview – 7 days, and for each day, there are several options, which he can click on. Only one option per day is allowed.

SUPPLIER:

• A supplier offers for example 1-3 different products every day, 7 days a week.
• There are 5 different suppliers.

BUYER:

• The system administrator chooses for example 3 out of 5 suppliers, which are shown to a buyer.
• The buyer can choose one product from one of the 3 suppliers each day.

NOTIFICATION TO SUPPLIER:
• Every Wednesday, each SUPPLIER gets an eMail with an overview of which BUYER did order which product the last week (or month).
• The SUPPLIER can also look up on every day, who already ordered what.

NOTIFICATION TO BUYER:
• Every Wednesday, each BUYER gets an eMail with an overview of what he has ordered.

NOTIFICATION TO SUPER BUYER
(Buyer Group Administrator)
• There will be a SUPER BUYER (super user) defined, who is in charge for a group of BUYERS. The SUPER BUYER sees all orders of the BUYERS, who are related to the SUPER BUYER.
• The SUPER BUYER also gets an overview every Wednesday, what the BUYERS in his group have ordered.

Thanks for your opinion / tipps / hints / advices :D

It is hard to take serious a cut-and-paste post from another forum.
Perhaps you should wait for your answer in the Content Builder forum.

Your application would most likely require a custom solution.
I suggest you post a project/job in some of the independent contractor websites.

Well yes, should have taken a little bit more of care for adapting the post.

Actually I am investigating at the moment, which system is the best for me thats why I have posted there as well. I think that is not a smelly strategy and legitime. :)

Thanks anyway for your answer - which for the first moment already helps me a little bit further in regard to flexicontent...

This is a complete custom solution and you need custom develop to do this.

People usually confuse CCK ou content builder with other things.

To clarify CONTENT is only content and it is has no inteligence.

FC does a LOT and I mean a LOT for you already, but it is focused in conent and content manipulation there is no business inteligence in it.

From experince, me and my teams custom code the requirements for the project. FC will not do that for you and it is not suposed to.

flexicontent can do a lot of thing !! ;)

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
