Hi,

I'm new here and don't have much (any) experience with website development.

OSCommerce platform seems ideal for an online shop. Wanted to know whether there is another platform or an 'OS Commerce Contribution' that allows the user to add properties to a list the way you can on popular real estate websites like zillow (in the US) or zoopla (in the UK).

For example, a property site has a bunch of properties on display and I want a platform that allows a registered user to be able to add/remove selected properties to a list and to be able to send (and receive) mails internally though the website to the owner of the property.

Would appreciate any help in this matter.


Thx.

K,

YES, you can configure osCommerce to do this. I have done several real estate websites using osCommerce however I don't think there is a contribution or step by step instructions available.

Thanks for the reply. Shall look into how to get OS Commerce to work for a real estate site.

Also wanted to know about whether it's possible for registered users to mail each other internally (within the site itself)? Is there a contribution that does this?
