Firstly, i must appreciate those who have been helpful to me when i get stuck or need assistance in this forum, esp Bernd @DC-Rilling, He has been awesome despite his busy schedule.
Now i have an issue. I am setting up Dolibarr for my Old Students Association for membership efficiency - Free as part of my contribution to the association.
We would need some services very important and we would need ease of access to those functions without necessarily login in as a member to get that done
We would need a public Url that members and the general public who want to support our project can use for sending in Donation (Public self Donation service)
Also, same for Loan. Our members can use the a url (Public self Loan service) to apply for loan. However, for this case, Membership ID is required and if not found in the database, it shouldnt submit.
I dont know how this can be done to get the urls.
If there is a ready made solution or any help to make it happen
Make sure that this can not be used to extract who is and who is not a member. You do this by having the message to the web being identical regardless of finding a valid member id or not.
A are those with a membership id and B are those without a membership id.
I imagine that you have a loan form that asks for an email. You then search for a member with that email and if found you allow the loan form to continue. And if not found you reply that the loan is only for members. IF you did this, then you would reveal if an email is a member or not, and this is not legal in the EU.
You can not even later send an email saying that the application was rejected because the email is not a membership email.
Here is what you can do. You have a simple public form that asks for email and name. Everyone fills it out, and you write on the after page that IF they are a member then they will be sent an email with a link to the hidden loan application form.
This way even if I fill out someone elses email to find out if they are a member, then the email will be sent to the member and not to the one filling out the form.
I think we should make the members users(can they be users without being made a 3rd party element) and give them access to the modules(Loan and donation) would this be advisable?
The issue i have with the above route is that the applicant or donor would see others who have applied or donated. Secondly, donation can come from an external person(from the general public) who is interested in supporting financially the projects we have for our Alma Mater, but we cant give them access as users…
So how can i balance this two? And donation does not have a public self service like the ticket link and membership link
