Thread: Database share

Database share

A mod I was working on with some programmers for another classified site would also be very helpful here..

The ability to opt-in admin level database shares with other sites... this could be a free, or paid option and somewhere I had this very well laid out step by step, I'll see if I can dig up again if someone interested... we actually got it working by parsing the xml feeds yet never finished... anyways - this is ideal for start-ups to instantly get 100's to 1000's of ads overnight... all legit and all mapped to their correct categories...thus it does not simply copy all ads, it maps matching cats from site A to corresponding cats on site B... Say one site only sells horses, and the other site sells pets... well all the horse cats might map to one "Horses" cat on the pets site etc... You setup share links which can be canceled anytime by either party. Also links by preference could either stay on site A, link to site B, or perhaps just show the original site link to give people links much like oodle does things. Sound interesting... see if anyone else thinks so, I love the idea, and for those who just want a little extra boost or you want many sites to collaborate to make a very large selling force... this is the way to do it.

What are your comments, ideas? Anyone up for such a task? my programmer that didnt finish actually got alot of this communication between sites done in just a few days... so shouldn't be that difficult.
