Thread: Company information

Company information

Hi there,
I'd like to confirm if a couple of features are possible with the current version of Vantage:

- I'd like to manually add companies to a directory myself so that users can begin rating companies immediately
- Is there a way for companies to claim responsibility for an account that I have created for them? Would I need to just manually send them the login information and let them 'activate' their account.
- Can anyone respond to user reviews or just the companies that the users have rated?

Thanks,
Andy.

Yes you can manually ad listings if you wish. Yes, business owners can claim the listing if you allow this option (it will give a "claim listing" button on the listing itself which you can approve), and you can also charge for this if you want to. Only the business owner can respond to a review. Thanks.

Fantastic.

In the future, I can see needing functionality along these lines:

- user selects multiple company listings with checkboxes (for comparison)
- user fills out quote request form
- form contents are sent to companies with the user contact details removed
- companies have the option of paying to view each quote request with contact details or pay a yearly fee for full access.

I don't expect Vantage to have this functionality, but I was wondering if you could suggest any extensions or plugins that may fit for this purpose?

Thanks,
Andy.

There's nothing available currently in the AppThemes marketplace which fits these requirements, and whilst AppThemes doesn't offer customization services we do have a certified partners page where you can find developers for hire who are experienced at working with our themes. If you make contact directly with an outline of your requirements they can provide a quote for the work. Thanks.
