Hi, I want to show a list of cottages for rent in a table format so they each have a picture to the left and a box of text to the right (equal sizes). What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks Simon

Hi Simon, I nearly went to answer your question. Butthen I saw that you have been a member since 2009 and your other questions appeared to show that you have been on freeway a lot longer than I have. So at the risk of presumption I imagine that your question relates to something a bit more ingenious than I had in mind. (I’m a newbie).
Kind regards

A few questions before I answer this one.
How long is this list, is it going to change regularly, will it need to be searchable, who will manage it, do you need to show availability?
Theres a few for starters.
Really the question I am asking is should you be looking for a Dynamic solution?
It is easy enough to display information like this in a table structure, that really is what tables are for, but you need to consider the bigger picture.

Hi David, I want it to be quite simple and structured. It won’t change too much but I want to be able to add holiday cottages easily. This will include a picture and text and links to there email and website.
I will manage the site. I have about 50 properties so far.
What do you think?

Simon, this looks like job for something like WebYep or Pulse or one of the other CMS solutions.
I’d probably use WebYep Actions either in a table structure or by using it’s in-built ‘Loops’ that easily allow additions as new properties become available
Take a look at: http://www.obdev.at/products/webyep/index.html
It’s easy to learn the basics, too.

Yes a CMS should work quite well for that amount of properties but think carefully about how you structure your pages as 50 properties is far too many for 1 page.
Think about how you want to group them - by area would probably be most sensible.
A map with links over areas to sub pages with 10-20 properties?
But if you are wishing to expand this and provide options to search by cottage type, location, bedrooms etc then I would recommend that you do that from the get go with a database driven site. Far easier to start that way than to have to redo your site once you have 100 properties.

Hi Guys, thank you for your replies. Could I email you a sample of what I am trying to achieve I still think CMS might not be needed?

David is the expert - I’m just a simple user of Freeway, but you are welcome to email your concept. If you’re viewing via e-mail you will see my ‘off-list’ address at the top.

I would be interested too in have a look on. I have a certain construction in mind that I use often in these cases.
It’s a simple inline construction but I do not know if it matches your minds.

Thomas,
I hope you recall this thread. I am thinking about a searchable table for items in a newspaper style classified advertisement in broad categories: type (tools, household, video etc.), Listed (here, eBay, craigslist, etc.), Price / bid, description (doesn’t need to be searchable), photo.
I would like these ‘searched’ items to list onto the same page with category buttons being the search, as well as a search field.
If you think your idea /action would work, or any other, please point me in that direction.
Thanks
Frank

Have you seen this: Kangax’s Quick Filter
Type anything you like into the filter field, and only matching rows
in the table will appear. Clearing the filter will restore the table.
The filter logic was written by Juriy Zaytsev (aka “kangax”) and is
extremely fast, even on very large tables. You don’t have to use it on
tables, either, you can also use it on paragraphs, list items, inline
DIVs, pretty much anything that can be treated as a block for show/
hide purposes.
Click on the Freeway icon to download the file. You will need the
Protaculous Action installed in order to make any changes, or even to
see what’s going on under the covers. Note that I have used Item /
Extended in a few places to shore up Freeway’s dodgy ID scheme, and
deliberately set the first row of the table to be a header using the
Inspector. This keeps the header titles on the table from disappearing
when the search terms don’t include their content!

Thanks again Walter, this looks very plausible!
I’ll look around for it at your studio, as the ‘f’ lead me to a black page with what looked like a mpeg player - that didn’t : )
Thanks

Right-click and force it to download. I’ll fix it with a zip version
in a bit, but you should be able to download the naked Freeway file,
too.

I meant that the Freeway file was linked to the page without any
additional wrapper, like having it be a Zip or tgz or some other
compressed and serialized format that’s more download-friendly.
Freeway files are regular binary files, but my new server must have
them confused with something that QuickTime can play. I’ve had this
same problem on Basecamp, too, and they’re at a different hosting
provider altogether.

Did you download the Protaculous Action from ActionsForge and install
it on Freeway Pro (double-click to decompress it, and then drag the
cog icon Action – not the Zip – over the Freeway icon in the dock
while Freeway is running)? And did you download the Zip encoded
version of the Freeway document, decompress it, and try to run that,
or the one that tried to open in QuickTime?

Walter,
Ah! Operator error. I must have tossed out the zip and tried the other action. I did have Protaculous installed, and the re-download and installation worked great.
Thanks again!
