How to use features from 2 different reference sites in one project?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I like features from both or more Reference Sites you offer.
How can I "merge" all 2 or more reference sites onto one, so to create a website with all those features?

Solution:
You cannot import a whole reference site to an existing reference site as it would overwrite the old one.

But, as an example you can create an Install of the Classifieds reference Site and then, another install of the Real Estate Site, and use the Module Manager Plugin, for example, you can take features from one site and add it to the other site.

That would need careful testing afterwards since the Classifieds and Real estate sites sometimes rely on customised add-on plugins or specific CRED forms and code that cannot be altered if it should work.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
My site calls for real estate listings as part of a classified site.

I would like to use some of the features of the real estate reference site in the site I have built from a classifieds reference site.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not so far as I have found.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

But importing the feature with Module manager and making sure to port any other custom code solution and add-on plugin, should enable you to achieve your goal
