    how to create search for products like vehicles / home search

    I thought create search for products in website, suppose my products vehicles. If I create document type for product with propeties price, make, age, width , height, category .....

    so when adding product pages i can fill all these and publish, but when I need to create search like autotreader and other vehicle websites, how do I create this and navigate to a list of products on search criterias. If I do this with table for products record and my own aspx page this is not a question to ask , actually I am new to umbraco. so I have problem to build a shop in the website.

    please give your advise.

    I prefered to generate custom table and custom pages for shop if I can intergrate to the  umbraco site. any ideas???

    If you are looking to create a shop you may want to use commerce for umbraco: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/collaboration/commerce-for-umbraco or uCommerce: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/ucommerce. Or at least download and install and see how they have done things. I would use XSLT search in order to search your site if you are doing the products in doc types: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/xsltsearch. You can create custom sections and put usercontrols and ASPX pages into these custom sections, thus being able to save your products into a custom table and using custom pages.

    Hi Pathini Fernando,

    What you can do is the following.

    • You could careate custom table for you products and category.
    • Create user control to accept them and manage them. 
    • Create search related user control that deals with search on these tables.
    • Intigrate the above in umbraco.

    Regards,

    Jigar

    I would prefer create custom tables and usercontrols because i have more functional pages for the site I am going to develope using umbraco.

    Please anyone to tell me how can I add web user control created in visual web developer rather than visual studio? I hvae seen somewhere that we can copy dll to umbraco site.  but in visual web developer i cannot create dll files.

    please how to do this

    Hi Pathini

    You can use CodeFile instead of CodeBehind in your Ascx file header and then just include the codebehind file. Or - dont use code behind at all:

    <%@ Control Language="C#" ClassName="WebUserControl" %>
     
    <script runat="server">
     
    </script>

    Right i can place code in web control. but I am using C# class file to call functions to manipulate data like Mydatafunctions.getdataset(sql) Mydatafunctions.Updaterecord(sql)

    So can i place this file app_code folder in umbraco cms system?

    would this be work after that?
