I am modifying the usual CB community to function as a property listing site.

everything is going swimmingly, almost have the sites structure and user plans completely setup.

tabs are in place
so are the fields.
artwork is done
looks (and functions) fantastico!

I decided it was a good time to go look at the DB and the data of the original site and pull out the profiles and import them into CB.

this, also went rather well, until I found about 6-7 multiple accounts from the same users.

They are valid profiles because they were entered in by property brokers, who represent several properties. but yet have the same contact info for each listing.

and of course, they all have a half dozens listings and they dont have a half dozens emails.


see....on the original site we didnt require a user account to enter in a free property listing, just a name email addy and the data for the listing.

We manually set this on the site when we received it and would manually have to edit it when a change was required.

but now on this super awesome CB site users can edit their own listings and not bother us at all.

We only required a "true registration" for those who wanted paid access to the entire listing.

so....
whats a good solution?

I have these brokers, who want to manage multiple CB profiles easily.
and of course they want to do it with one email address, and with as little login effort as possible.

Is it possible to run a joomla /CB with non-unique email addys? (I can imagine some security risks and confusion stemming from this.)

but even if I am able to use the same emails addys over and over, will these brokers be able to add future accounts using the same email?

Are there any components that let users manage multiple CB profiles?


confused.
