Subscription model for sellers The admin dashboard already includes view tracking, making it easy to implement performance-based pricing. Q3: What are the key competitive advantages of using this template versus building from scratch?
The Marketplace Skeleton offers several advantages: - Ready-to-use authentication system - Built-in admin/user role separation - Responsive design out of the box - View tracking analytics - Scalable database structure This can save 40-80 hours of initial development time compared to building from scratch.
Q4: How can I add image upload functionality to listings in the Marketplace Skeleton? A: You can add image upload by modifying the Listing model and create_listing_route. Here's an example:
```python
In listing.py
class Listing(db.Model): # Add this field image_url = db.Column(db.String(255))
In routes.py
@app.route("/create_listing", methods=['POST']) def create_listing_route(): if 'image' in request.files: file = request.files['image'] filename = secure_filename(file.filename) file.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], filename)) image_url = url_for('static', filename=f'uploads/{filename}') else: image_url = None
new_listing = Listing(
title=request.form.get('title'),
description=request.form.get('description'),
image_url=image_url,
user_id=user.id
)
```
Q5: How can I implement search functionality in the Marketplace Skeleton? A: Here's how to add basic search to the listings route:
```python @app.route("/listings") def listings_route(): search_query = request.args.get('q', '') user = User.query.filter_by(email=session['user']['user_email']).first()
if search_query:
listings = Listing.query.filter(
db.or_(
Listing.title.ilike(f'%{search_query}%'),
Listing.description.ilike(f'%{search_query}%')
)
).order_by(Listing.created_at.desc()).all()
else:
listings = Listing.query.order_by(Listing.created_at.desc()).all()
return render_template("listings.html", listings=listings, is_admin=user.is_admin)
```
