So I’m very new to EE and so far I’m absolutely loving it. It’s really too bad there’s no free local dev. option for this CMS because I would have used it, learned it and suggested it to my clients a long time before now.

I digress, what I’m really here for is that I’m looking for validation to make sure I understood this right.

Basically I have a page the contains a price list like so.
Product | Description | Price
prod1     cool prod1   $1mil
prod2     cool prod2   $1mil

Now if I want to allow the products to be added through the CMS individually, is the following a valid approach?
I created an entry with the following fields: product, description and price.
Each entry is therefore a product line
I loop through each entry in the “Products” channel to list them all out.

Is this ok? Is there a better way?

Cheers,

Trev

EasyCo,

That is the correct approach. Each product would have it’s own entry with the fields you need. There are a number of ecommerce add-ons that simplify building a shopping cart. I would recommend checking out: CartThrob, BrilliantRetail, Store.

Thanks for the input!
