Hi!

Do you have some PHP and a little MySQL knnowhow?
X5 is made for a broad range of use but DB related stuff is mainly handeled by more experienced developers and they make these things custom built. X5 allows to integrate that with the code objects. I heavily use that approach.

Best regards,
Dieter

Hello Vivian

You could also combine the use of X5 with another software.

I have an example on this site : http://c4dshow.com/

Here you can see the entrance ( made with X5 ) http://c4dshow.com/3d-figuren.html

And here is the combination with some other software : http://c4dshow.com/animals.html

In the last link, in the frame to the left is the ADMIDIO where I have the data in a Mysql database, and when clicking the thumbnail, then an image for the item is shown in the right frame.

The software used for this is ADMIDIO - a free software for a member-system and for administering images, web-links and downloads and uploads, and it has also an event administering system, where members can participate events.

If it is for e-commerce, there is also the free OpenCart system : https://www.opencart.com/

This is a system that uses a Mysql database.

You could also use the AppGini ( see a youtube video ) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dtXEt2wBIg

This is some suggestions.

There is a lot of things you can do - but what is it you want to show ?

Kind regards

In my old version I used dreamweaver, but I thougt that there is a simpler way todo it.

Hello Vivian

You could use a PDF-file and the catalog viewer ( very simple ), or you could make a page for each item - but I suppose you will let the visitors be shown some items depending on some choices they can make - eventually via drop-down selections.

If you have an existing database with the items where there is the categories, links and image-links, then there is the ( free ) REPORTICO software you could use.  http://www.reportico.org/site/index.php

You can see an example here : http://www.energifremtiden.dk/c4d/search.html

You can select on one or more categories by clicking the magnifying-glass.

In this example there is only one selection ( the category ) but there could have been more selections, so you could select on car-type + color + from year - to year and so.

Then see a list and via click on an item be brought to a page that shows this item in details.

I think this could be a good solution for you.

You could also use the Opencart as a display only - and not use the shopping cart. Only show the items and select on them.

I think you have to find a tool ( paid or free )  that suits your need , or have someone to make it for you-  or learn how to program in PHP and operate a database.

But again - I think it could be a good solution, if you had a database with a record for each item. Then the REPORTICO, where you could select on different parameters. See the result in a list ( with a clickable image for that item and  a short description. Then when clicking on the image (link) for the item , you will be brought to a page with all the specifications for the item.

This requires no programming skills - only some work.

Kind regards
