Listings abilities (for cars)

Hi

I am looking to "technically transform" a company that currently produces printed adverts and listings for used cars. I want to create web sites for their customers (say a garage or chain of garages) and am happy that the Kentico cms can do this.

However a large part of the web sites will be displaying a list of cars on sale - probably 100's of cars per web site making automation important. There would need to be a way of producing a list with a few details and thumbnail per car and then click on a single car to get more info, bigger picture, etc.

The car listings and references to images' filenames are held in a csv file. Could the Kentico system be configured to allow upload of images and CSV to fairly easily generate car listings pages?

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your question. Yes, there are several ways how to do that:

1) You can use import utilities delivered with Kentico CMS for import of files and images. These utilities, however, require manual import.

2) You can use custom code to parse the input file and create new documents in the database using kentico CMS API.

If you need to import information regularly, I would recommend you the second option. You can find a basic description of Kentico CMS API in Kentico CMS Developer's Guide -> Using Kentico CMS API. The complete API documentation is available in the Kentico CMS API Reference.

Should you need any help with that, please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,
