Hello There,

 

I want to add multi vendor functionality to SmartStore.Net

 

i came across 2 possible scenario:

 

1. Adding multi-vendor functionality by creating plugin 

2. reviewing code from nopcommerce implementation and make possible changes to smartStore core and make it multiVendor

 

can you suggest better way?

 

Many Thanks,

The best way is without doubt to implement it as a plugin. But unfortunately there are some restrictions that come with plugin development, e.g.:

• you cannot extend existing domain entities like Product, Category, Manufacturer etc. (for example adding new properties - thus adding new fileds to existing database tables - from outside the core is not possible).
• Changing/extending existing views is not possible. The UI bits have to be encapsulated and provided as new tabs or completely new areas.

You should have this restrictions in mind while designing your plugin. Of couse we alway can help to make it easier for you to take the right architectural decisions. We would also extend the core if it should be necessary - or you could do it and drop a pull request.
