Best way to add an own Message Feature

Post by 3hpart » 30 Dec 2021, 09:06

Hi,

We need to develop a message functionality. When a user go to the product detail page on the frontend there we like to add "ask a question" functionality with a subject and text form field. The question must be sent to the merchant who sells this product on the platform (merchant will see the question on aimeos backend).

Our question is, how to we implement this functionality best, we see three options:

We add a new table like this:
1. https://aimeos.org/docs/2020.x/infrastr ... new-tables

We add a new table like this:
2. https://aimeos.org/docs/2020.x/infrastr ... ew-domains

We start developing an own extension:
3. https://aimeos.org/docs/2020.x/develope ... #libcustom

What would you advise?
Best Roland

You need to add a new data domain because none of the existing one fits your needs.

This is not an either/or question because all custom code needs to be to added to an extenion.
