Hello,
I’m looking for some tips on how a website could be constructed.
I’ll be arguing the case next week to my colleagues for rebuilding a virtual gifts (for conservation) website using ExpressionEngine. Here is the current site - wildgifts.bushheritage.org.au. It’s build with Ruby on Rails I think.
The site allows users to give to conservation with cards purchased for their friends and relatives, stating that the gift has been given on their behalf. The cards can be printed cards that are posted, or can be e-cards that are emailed.
Currently, if the card is an ecard then the recipient gets an email with a link to a web page. There is an example here
In this case the message that the purchaser has entered for the recipient is simple. In other cases the message can be very personal.
So, we need to make each persons card be accessible to them only. In the current site we have the address of the card obfuscated. But perhaps we could instead have the card be the email that is sent to the recipient rather than the email linking to the card.
How would those two options best be achieved? Or is there a better way to do it?
Oh, and by the way, I’m not a newbie, I’ve build several ExpressionEngine websites.
