CMS Made Simple Forums

OK, I need some input of you smart guys, on how to achieve the following:

I’m working on a site where people can register and upload their CV, for example, and they are publicly listed as being available. This is basically done already but here comes the interesting part:
Other people can browse this list and are then supposed to be able to purchase these CVs and contact information via the website. So, I basically need some kind of e-commerce/shopping cart functionality but connected to the FEU/CGDirectoryListing.

What do you think would be the right approach here? Or does this call for professional customization (which would be OK, I guess)?

Some more info:
If someone is purchasing something the admin receives an e-mail which he is processing manually (i. e. contacting the buyer and sending payment info). After confirmation of payment the admin sends an e-mail with a temporary download link.

Downloadable info could be possible with the Uploads module. It can generate a time restricted key that a person can use to download a file. Never used it myself though...

Yeah, Rolf, I’m already using the Uploads module for the frontend user upload, and that’s all fine. I’ve got the registration working (FEU & SelfReg), the upload working (Uploads), and the listing working (CGUSerDirectory).

I’m thinking of a “purchase” button next to each person in the list upon clicking which the item is stored in the shopping cart. There is no automatic payment method for now so let’s not worry about this. Submitting the checkout form just sends an e-mail to the admin. I’ve done a simple checkout form with FormBuilder in the past. The only missing link, as I figure, is to get the items in the cart and feed them to the checkout form.

But perhaps any of you has a different idea of how this could be achieved.

Wouldn't Calguys Cart do the Job for this?
As far i remember from past Cart doesn't need Products, but all you need is call Cart smarty tags in for example in your case "CGUser Directory detail view", then you would have a Cart button "Book now" or something and i guess you would need CGEcommerceBase and Orders configured with Cart to be able to checkout.
I think with this approach you should be able to provide some sort of checkout form.
