What I am trying to build is based on a "source code" I borrowed from one of my affiliate sites with 5900 lines of code!
In most the code I can identify the "company's" information, and have began the exhausting process of stripping this infomation, and replacing it with my own URL's, header, colors, text, graphics, etc..
To further explain, it is a eCommerce based site, with over 2000 products. I've submitted an email to 'my affiliate" (the site's rightful owner) and requested permission to use the product images for my own catalog as they are the same product.
Naturally, I want to copy the img and change the src to my own location.
In addition, I fear the complications of then uploading the products in my own database, whereby within the variable php commands, I can maintain the the same options for the viewing and purchasing product(s)-but in short....long way to go in understanding if I need to create a new database associated to my re-written php commands, and change the specifics of where those items are stored!
I feel like i'm doing this all ass-backwards!
There's no way in hell, I'll be able to build something like this from scratch. Naturally, I can change the sites theme (i.e. header, graphics, and specific elements and anything linking to or identifying my affiliate) respectively.
Just for shits and giggle's, what would the rough cost be if I were to find a programmer to assist me in completing this nightmare?
Again, the site is a full-blown shopping mall of sort with 100's of sub-pages, internal, and external links.
I thought about using a 3rd party eCommerce site just for the support, but then I'd be paying them every month, and still need to write the code, list the product, create check-out redirects, create variables, etc...
O.k. so with the understanding that there are several sub-pages in addition to this main-page mammoth, is this a logical approach to creating a similar website?
Other than kill myself...any recommendations or potential problems not mentioned above, would be greatly appreciated!
Unfortunately, within my circle of friends there's people of all professions, but not a one that's into computer programming...just my luck! (And they all think affiliate marketing is a "scam" and that I'm fucking crazy and wasting my time!" -Determined to prove them wrong cause they don't see it!
HELP!!!
