Hi
I would say yes and now. YES because you have some nice template which you can use in other projects. And NO because joomla uses their own labels which will need to be converted into ILance. Also CSS should be changed. But if you will find ILance professional I think he could adjust your template to work in ILance.

Does joomla have some template wrapper? I know you can do this for fact because another user on the forum has already wrapped ILance within a Facebook app. So you must decide what will be used more on your web site... joomla CMS content management stuff or ILance marketplace where users will search for listings, post listings, view listings, interact with your site and so forth.

To be honest, I wouldn't write a wrapper for joomla and ILance I would basically put ILance in a position where it looks, acts and feels the same way as your "joomla" instance on your site.

So if you already have a site running now with Joomla, and you want to introduce ILance, simply launch ILance in a folder on your site called /marketplace/ and install to there. By doing this, you're also extending your urls on your site/server based on what ILance has to offer (which is very very friendly with Search Engines).

Either way, yes, with or without a template wrapper, you can integrate ILance into anything. There is no limitation. The only real limitation I can see now is that of the programmer.
