Product database?

[christiaans]

Hello,

First of all, I owe all my thanks to Ted for the development of CMSMS, it's an incredibly awesome cms, and I adore using it, and have used it for various websites. But now I have a quick question: I want to create a very basic product database, consisting of 4 categories, and in those categories the various products. My problem however is, that I would like to work without a module like OsCommerce, and just display the products (with a small description) on the category page, similar to the way the news module operates.

That would mean the following:
- Home
- Products
  -- Category 1
  ---- Product 1
  ---- Product 2
  ---- Etc.
  -- Category 2
  ---- Product 1
  ---- Etc.
- Company Profile
- Contact
(NOTE: Just a sample!)

So my goal is to achieve a category page, which automatically updates if you open it, and displays all the products in that specific category, again similar to the news module.

Can anyone help me out? Or at least give me a little headsup on what to do best? I'm not scared for a little PHP coding!

Thanks in advance!
