I would like to know if its possible to create a feature on an existing classifieds website that allows a seller to do the following. 1.Create his own storefront/catalog 2.Have his own subdomain name eg : seller.classfiedsite.com . 3.Be able to customize the storefront/catalogue abit 4.The seller must have the ability to post/edit/delete postings in his storefront/catalogue 5.Whatever posts the seller makes on his store must automatically form part of the classified postings. The above must be created for an existing classified website. I just want to know if its possible and the complexity involved.
1,3,4,& 5 are all possible. 2 is a little different. If the site already exists (as you say it does), then you may have sellers with usernames that could not be used as a subdomain depending on the rules of your usernames (eg if you allow spaces). I would also challenge the idea of subdomains because of the SEO impact, you'd be better off having www.classifiedsite.com/username but again you'd need to check no existing usernames are going to conflict with an existing URL. Complexity will depend on the existing script and how well written/ documented it is
