    The best way to create a catalog in Umbraco (tickets catalog, for example)

    <!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; direction: ltr; color: #000000; widows: 2; orphans: 2 } -->

    Hi!

    I’m discovering Umbraco to myself, so would be glad for an advice from more experienced Umracians.

    I need 2 similar catalogs on my site: one for tickets, one for apartments. By “catalog” I mean some solution for site visitors to:

    1. Add new item (ticket, for example) by filling in some form (including photos adding). There could be hundreds or couple of thousands of items.

    2. Look through existing items (by direct link to each of them, or some common link like …/tickets.aspx?ticked=111)…

    3. and search them via xslt or something else

    My questions are:

    1. What is the best common way to do this in umbraco?

    2. Should I better use any existing packages (and if so – which ones)?

    Seems like this is a very usual task, so hope someone will give and advice. Examples, code and guides would also be a great help.

    Thanks!

    Not sure if there are any prebuild systems that will do this.  As for doing it yourself there are a few options.

    • You can include macros on your pages that run .NET code/do whatever you want(Razor, or you can use the older xslt system).
    • You can load the data for this setup either from custom tables or load them into umbraco as nodes/property data directly.

    Thanks for you reply, Jeremy.

    I decided to create nodes programmatically from the page. Hope that'll do for me)
