| Nizam Uddin | I am working on a Website in which I would like to have a Multi-Vendor feature for users to sell their services to other members. I am using WooCommerce, and happened to see that Dokan offers Multi-Vendor capabilities using WooCommerce. So, I bought Dokan to give it a spin. I think I could configure Dokan out of the box to do most of what I need. However I have a question about its Theme's design. I specialize in creating Websites for business process appraisal and improvement. I do most of my software development for those sites is using Microsoft tools, in the C# language, and an ASP.NET model-view-controller pattern. I have just started using WordPress to create an online community site to feature my software, which allows others to collaborate and sell related services to other community members. Since I am new to WordPress and PHP, I am mostly just using plugins to build the features of the site, and have not yet had the time to program my own themes and plugins. The situation I am facing now is, I'm trying to put together a WordPress development environment, that I can manage with ManageWP, to build and deploy community web portals for some of the businesses which use my main software applications. Over the past few months, I have done quite a bit of research and development to choose the Themes and Plugins to use for these sites. I have based my development environment on WooThemes Canvas Theme. It allows me to easily build sites with a simple minimalist design, and seems to work well for integrating features from a range of plugins. I use WooCommerce for e-Commerce features, and Canvas works well with that. This brings me to my question for you. The features in Dokan are almost exactly what I need for a simple Multi-Vendor site. Its graphic design works well, straight out of the box. However, I would like to integrate the core features you created in Dokan with the Canvas Theme. Since I am new to WordPress design and its underlying architecture, I don't know enough to understand if that would be difficult to accomplish. Could you give me your opinion on this? Would it be simple to build a child theme for Canvas, and somehow add the Dokan functionality to the Canvas layouts and styles, using the child theme? Are there other ways to accomplish the same goal? I currently have a 5 site license for Dokan. If I upgraded to an Ultimate license, would it be possible to use priority support to guide me through the integration (given that I would spend some time learning theme development on my own time). Would it be possible for you to do a custom integration for me? If so, I could deploy a test site with the Canvas theme and all of my plugins that could be used as a test integration environment. Those are just some of my ideas. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Larry Simpson |
