Programatically adding products as a non-admin

Does Agora support dynamically adding products to the store using PHP or Perl without having logged on to the protected area? This is a requirement for our site and we are trying to determine if Agora would be an appropriate solution.

Thanks,

Dave

No, that would jeopardize the security of any shopping cart....

What kind of application are you wanting to run?

We have a site which is intended to assist someone organizing an event for which other people would purchase a set of items that has been selected from a general list by the organizer. The organizer would also assign quantities that would be fixed for the users.

Users need to select products specific to the event so I can't just have a general list of items as they need to be tied to the event. My thought was that maybe I could generate the items (products) "on the fly" using a user field in the database to tie it to the event. It's not really a standard "store" application, so I was looking to see if Agora could handle some of the management and transactional functions.

Thanks,

Dave

you could use an external php program to write a new or updated data.file. the data.file can be manipulated outside of the store manager. but it seems like a bit of redundancy. you could buy the multimanager addon and assign user names and passwords to multiple users and limit what they see and what they can do.
if you write a php script, for example, to allow someone to add, remove or edit products you must protect that script somehow, hence the redundancy.

you can use userfields to link to like kind items. you can also create custom ppinc files per category so that the qty box is hidden where appropriate and add the qty box for the individual options where needed.

there are numerous ways to approach your needs and i'm sure agoracart can do everything you've outlined so far.
