Hello,

I'm trying to create a vehicle engine catalog, that has 6 root categories (3x2 big buttons - cars, trucks, moto), then unknown number of main categories (6xN, vehicle make), each can have unknown number of subcategories (4xN, vehicle model) and there you can find a list of engines with their basic specifications and engine can have multiple parents (vehicle models).

Is it possible to create it using Chronoforms ? I did some forms with V4 but I'm not sure if it's also capable of this.

it should also support urls like domain.com/catalog/truck/volvo/f7

I've already tried SobiPro, Spider Catalog, JU Directory but none of them are 100% suitable.

Thanks for any help!

Hi moped,

Yes, I think that you can do this with ChronoForms, It will take some planning and possibly some custom coding though.

To start with I'd be inclined to start with a multi-page form that goes through root category > mail category > sub-category. Then link from that to a ChronoConnectivity listing for the Engines in that sub-category.

ChronoForms doesn't handle URLs at all so that would need to be done with menus or with some other component to parse them into a usable form.

It is good when all is possible to do with the only thing, ask an advice and gain it. You are doing a great job as for me, Bob. I searched through the forum and i noticed you answer all the time... how do you do that? =) the fect is i tried to be "always-online-moderator" but it turned out to be impossible for me =)
