I'm frustrated and have tried a for a couple of weeks to get the following done. If someone has any suggestions how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Objective:
To allow members to view each other's inventories and send offers to trade. I have attempted two different ways to no avail.
(1) A user views an inventory of items and after they select to view the details of a specific item they can click a link/button that will send the owner of that item a filtered link of their inventory. The owner can then click that link and go to that inventory, without needing to log in until they decide to act on it. I am able to get an email sent but it does not accept any filter expression. (there are a couple of threads on this in the forum).
(2) A user views an inventory of items and after they select to view the details of a specific item they can click a link/button that places that item in a different database table (call it OFFER) and it sends a general text email to the owner who can then click it to see what it is. They will need to log in so it will filter only offers to them. I thought of this when I couldn't figure out the filter email. This one I have not gotten too far with and there is little I can find to guide me in regards to web pages.
I have received ideas from past post, that I have truly appreciated, but have still been unsuccessful. Am I going about it wrong or making it too difficult or does anyone have any other thoughts as to making this work?
Thanks in advance
