Im in the planning phase of creating a new homepage for a customer.
A big part of it is a product catalog with a number of products.
I need to put in technical data about each product.
Like this:
Weight: 100kg
Color: black
...: ...
If all of the products had the same "rows" of data i would just make a doc type with the appropriate fields.
Unfortunately this is not the case. Many of the products have specific data rows.
In the future I want to be able to code things like searches and product comparisons.
Any idea how to do this kind of table-like thing in umbraco?
The only way I can think of is to create a custom Data Type that can hold "arrays" of information, probably as XML. The Related Links data type does just this. Have a look at http://www.nibble.be/?p=51 for a pointer.
