shop in a shop

[khinester]

Hello,
I have a request to build a type of a shop-in-a-shop application where each producer has it's own front-end and back-end with its own unique URL and there is the 'global' site where all products by all producers are displayed.

The way I was going to do this is to have:

/var/www/presta/htdocs/
|-- global-shop
| |-- 404.php
| |-- CHANGELOG
| |-- README
....
|-- producer-shop
| |-- 404.php
| |-- CHANGELOG

I then use Apache Rewrite to point each URL to the correct path on the file system.

This way each producer-shop can have it's own template and it's own management back-office.

The issue is that as the database is shared, i need a way to group each shop's products, orders, customers depending on the sub-shop.

Is this something being considered for being part of the core presta application?

Thanks
Norman
