Hello,

I have built a website that calculates Taxi Fare costs for the UK.

The user selects their Local Authority, enters a start point, a destination, and the tariff type that is relevant. I then use Microsoft MapPoint to calculate the distance and display what the taxi fare should be.

I was hoping for some advice on the possible ways to extend the system to do the following....

I want to sign up taxi companies relating to each Local Authority and charge a small monthly amount to display their contact details below the calculated fare price. So, when a user sees the price, they also get a list of taxi companies which relate to that Local Authority.

So, I would like to use the built in abilities of DNN to manage the signup process and the billing for the taxi companies. I would then manually allocate them to a Local Authority.

So, the module would then, based on the Local Authority, pull a list from the database of the Taxi Companies and check if they have paid their subscription and then display the list.

But, could it be done a simpler way? For example, can the report module be used to do this? I am sure a bit of SQL could be written to get the list but how would i send a parameter to the report module to say what the Local Authority is?

How would you do it?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Alfonso,

Thanks for the posting.... That was exactly what I was thinking but i am not sure the easiest way to display a list of the taxi companies based on the local authority that has just been used to calculate the fare...

The reports module looks very close to what I need but I cannot see whether i can send it the "authority" parameter so it only shows taxi companies relating to the fare the used has just searched for....
