4.0.3 - Hi, I'm looking for a way in order to list a bunch of audio files. Each file will need to be tagged by date/language/topic/author/etc. and then displayed in a list format that is sortable and searchable. Is there an easy way to do this in Umbraco?
I was thinking of creating a type of blog that operated in this manner. Is that the best way?
I would create two doc types - AudioArea and AudioFile
AudioArea is where you list your files and AudioFile is the actual nodes containing the AudioFile properties like Author, topic, date etc.
Then you just build up a macro that loops through the nodes and displays them in the way you want.
You can use sorting in the macro and use one of the search packages for searching in under AudioArea child nodes so that only AudioFile's will appear in the search :-).

Did that give some help?
