Hi,
We're building a website that will allow customers to purchase a subscription to allow them access to specific parts of the website and give them an area where they can upload content. The content they add will have the following fields:

Name of item
Description
Price
Item category (this will be a dropdown select from a list we control as admins)
Main image of item
Additional images (allow up to 9 additional images to be uploaded for the item)

The customer will need to be able to see a list of all the items they've added and sort the list by date and category. From the list they should be able to edit and delete items.

We also need the images they upload to be timestamped. For this the timestamp should be added to the actual image so it's like a watermark on the image. This is because the items they are adding have a short shelf life and we need to ensure people viewing the items on the main part of the website clearly see the date the image was uploaded, on the image itself.

Is all of the above possible with the Toolset suite of plugins?

Thanks,
Lloyd

Hello,

It is possible within Toolset plugins + Woocommerce plugins, for example:
1) You can follow our document to let your user to purchase the WooCommerce Subscriptions with Toolset plugins:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-the-woocommerce-subscriptions-plugin-with-toolset/

2) After user login into your website, redirect them to the "My account" page:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-my-account-page/

3) In the "My account" page, display:
a) A post form for creating new post of your custom post type
b) A post view block:
- Query posts of your custom post type
- filter by post author is the current logged-in user
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-author/
- in Views loop, display the post link + editing post form link + deleting post link
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-forms-for-editing-content/
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred-delete-post

4) in each single custom post, display the custom fields you mentioned above:

Name of item
...
Additional images

For the issue:
For this the timestamp should be added to the actual image so it's like a watermark on the image.
There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins to add watermark on the image.
As a workaround, you can use post date shortcode as the upload date value, for example:

Published on: [wpv-post-date format="Y-m-d"]
Modified on: [wpv-post-date format="Y-m-d" type="modified"]
