Hello Henri, Piotras, It surely is possible to store any table as Midgard topics or articles with parameters, but if I read Andrey's requirements... "The client wants to put and then weekly update her price-list on the site. The list, in its hard-copy version, is a table with the following columns: car's model name, its manufacture date, and price. On the web, it's planned that a price-list position may have a photo attached to it. Also, it should be possible for a visitor to filter the list on the price or model name column." ... I'm wondering how you filter or sort on price when you store the price field as a article/topic parameter? Or perform a bulk update (such as "convert the prices to Euro"). Load the entire car list in an array and then sort/filter/update-one-by-one? What then if you get thousands of articles? (it may not be here the case, so if it's only some tens of cars, storing it in Midgard might be a good solution indeed) It just seemed more easy to me to create a separate table for it, so you can use simple sql statements to perform these typical db tasks. Again, it 'll depend on Andrey's requirements what will be the right solution for him. I just wanted to make the point that I for myself try to use Midgard for the content management and templating aspects of a web app, whereas for data processing I find it more easy to create a separate data structure and use other existing frameworks in plain php. pascal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
