Wordpress Integration

Okay so here is what I need to know...

I am looking for a wordpress classified solution for my wordpress site that I have now. I am using a theme right now that I have modified heavily to look the way I want it to look, so I dont want to change anything to its look. Is there anyway to install this classified theme onto a sub-directory like...
yourwebsite.com/classifieds?

I dont want my theme to change... I don't mind it changing for that one page "yoursite.com/classifieds" because of what the classifieds theme looks like. SO basically what I am asking is....
Can I run both themes on my one wordpress site? How can i come up with a solution to this?

Yes, you can definitely install our themes in a subdirectory (this would be the suggested method if you have an existing theme/homepage you wish to retain). So:

e.g.
yourdomain.com <== Your existing theme
yourdomain.com/classifieds <== Your ClassiPress installation

So whilst each theme has its own instance of WordPress, they are on the same site. Thanks.

Since the two themes will be under two seperate installations if Wordpress, would my users have to sign up and login on both wordpress end to use both? Or is there a way to create a single sign on for both wordpresses?

Also, is there a way to use classipress theme widgets on my theme that I have now ?

Yes they would be separate in terms of the user database unless you make necessary changes to share them. You can find various tutorials via Google on how it can be done, or consider a WordPress multisite setup which will also allow this.

The widgets used by the theme are built into it, so they're not designed as plugins which can be used in other themes. You would have to customize your own theme if you wanted to do something as described. Thanks.
