Is there a module that can do this?

Post by Cliff09 »

Can anyone tell me if there is a module that can do something similar to this site:

http://www.valleykithomes.com.au/home-designs.php?id=3%20Bedroom%20Series
http://www.valleykithomes.com.au/details.php?homeid=605

What I am after is a way to create a page for each one of our designs without having to actually create separate content pages for each one. We would need:

- Tables for the house specifics and costs as per the example above.
- Bullet list for features of that design
- A paragraph of text about that design
- A photo of the design (option)
- A floorplan of the design (not optional)

The prices change constantly and would be best be updated on a single page or imported from a csv etc.

If there is nothing already available I might re-create this thread in the commercial help forum.

cataloger module or the company directory module would work.

in each module, you can define custom fields to be displayed. also a fully customisable templates for the summary and detail pages.

support for pictures etc..

however, you mentioned you wanted to update all the prices from one place, as far as i know, that is not possible with these modules out of the box.

if you have some programming skills you could rig something up, or someone in the commercial help section may be able to assist.

Thanks for your reply.

I have taken a look at the cataloger module and it might be just what we need. Woud it be possible to use a tag to display the prices from a mysql table? There would be about 70 design pages and updating them individually every month would be very painful.
