I am in the process of putting together a new website and I had some questions about development. I was curious if it was possible to take the login features from one site and just copy and paste those functions to a new site. Or do I have to rewrite everything from the beginning. I ask this because I am currently working for a website, but I want to create another site with many of the same features, but just a little bit different of a product. But we dont want to have to rewrite everything. Our developers says that it is not possible, but I have to believe that it is. What do you guys think?
It would depend on a few things, generically yes its possible but there are a few spanners that could mean its not possible. The sites are not being developed in the same language (IE one in PHP and other ASP.NET) There are differences on the servers meaning the method used on site 1 wont work on site 2 You dont have the rights to use the login system on site 1 anywhere else I imagine there are a few more but gives you an idea. Personally it sounds like your developers being silly. Jen
If the structure are same then using the old script is possible. But will need to be adapt. The more different the new site is the more modifiction you will need.
