Extra Content in My Account Information

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

We are providing an exhibition media service, so we sell various exhibition products like banners, leaflet stands etc. As well as these products we offer a design service, providing clients with artwork. To do this effectively online we need to add a feature to the my account page that allows the user to view their past artwork.

 

I've already edited both account.php files in /catalog and in /catalog/includes/languages/english so that my page looks like the following image, I've also created a new blank page that the "View My Uploaded/Designed Artwork" link takes you to.

 

 

I'm no PHP wizard and changing these few pages alone took some time. Does anyone have ideas on how the content for the page displaying the artwork should work?

 

Would this require modifying the database?

 

The images on the page would be administrated by ourselves and not something that the user would have any control of. In other words, the user would upload or purchase artwork (uploading would be on a separate but very similar looking page style to that of my current oscommerce store, so it would be out with oscommerce). Once we have completed artwork for the customer, ideally we would manually assign these images to the user through the admin area.

 

The images would not have to be links or have any other effect on the rest of the oscommerce store, just a simple gallery of images specific to the user that has logged in.

 

So what I think I'm looking for is an idea as to how the page that displays the artwork should work and a way to edit the admin area to create a new field that allows me to upload images and specify a user that those images should apply to.

 

I hope that makes sense

 

Thanks for any help
