I need a client / server application. the customer must run as a desktop application, preferably in adobe flex.
the server app can be in web or win OS, as be more easy.
The idea is similar to ebay turbolister but much more simple, IT WILL NOT USE MONETARY SYSTEMS LIKE PAYPAL OR SO ON, It will use a simple credit system.
below will detail the application of the client and after the server application.
————————————-
client app will be a program that will have a user name and password to access the information listed. validate the user program and then be updated to download information.
listed data will be brief descriptions of products will be on sale, which will be auctioned or sold at fixed prices, so that the user may increase the price of the auction or buy it at a fixed price.
the program should display on every product detailed information but NEVER SHOW THE CONTACT INFORMATION.
All auctions will have a maximum time of 8 hours.
if the user wins the auction or pay the fixed price, the product must disappear from the listing (market) and pass to the tab of -win & buyed- section, where detailed information will appear with the contact information once has buyed.
the program should have a system function to minimize to system try, which, every five minutes the program will update and verify if there are new products listed, if any, announced by a ballon that one or more products are listed.
optional, may contain a section to send a message to the administrator of the program.
optional, can have a rotating banner or iframe in the header of the program.
———————————
server: the server can be a program that runs web based (php script) or windows (c #, flex, etc …) as be easy for yours, the application will be the source of product data that will be downloaded by programs customers.
should also take an Admin section for users, which each user will be channeled to different types of products (categories).
here an example: in total have 5 users, 3 users will receive information on products of cardboard boxes and 2 users will receive information on steel sheets.
each user in its category (type of business) can buy and bid on the auction to buy the information but may not see information that does not correspond to their category (boxes or sheet steel).
#########
notes:
the text in the client application must be in spanish language (the server app can be english or spanish).
in the job listing, may have only attachments, users can download files at any time (before and after the buy) for more details.
system or auction purchases not related to any monetary system, simply be an internal credit system.
+++optional in the future: the server program may be updated in the future so I could connect to several POP email accounts, which will automatically download the title of an email and publish it in the listing jobs, email content and data in the description, recognize the attachments in the email and publish it in the job.
the Contact info will be recognizable by a special format in the mail.
Each email pop account will correspond to a category in which be published products.
