Hi all, 1st post here. Hope you guys can help.
I'm extremely gung-ho on putting up my 1st pay services content site. I have a life times worth of computer background. And yet I'm sort of a newb to some of this, but I'm learning rapidly. *** I have been taking tutorials to use Front Page 2003 for the last few months. I now know my way around that fairly well through experimenting. I learn fast once I get in there. Although I don't claim to be an expert yet, though. lol
I have many questions and can't seem to find them searching this forum without bugging you guys. So my main concern right now is.
How do I set it up so I can have a profile search function of my paying members on my site?
I.E. What I want to do is basically much like a Dating service. Where full access Paying [and free *Limited access*] customers sign in with there user name and password to access the member profile database through a search interface and contact each other via an internal email system on the site. Not to be confused with a forum.
So I would need a search function with various ways for customers to search the members data base. I.E. By user name, age, distance, location, race, hobbies, pictures only, etc. etc. etc..
I'm not sure if this is done within MySQL via the Cpanel once I sign up to TCH. Or if I should do it somehow with MS Access & MS Front Page 2003?
I am going nuts here. You guys really seem to help people out on this forum. So I figured I would try it out. Plz make me a believer. I thirst 4 the knowledge to make something great that will yield a nice income for me and my family! Thx a lot in advance. Fingers crossed!
