I have been asked to create a website for an automobile dealership and they want to post their inventory on the internet. I am sort of new to Gossamer Threads DBMan as well as CGI/Perl. I'd like one car per page, and possibly a restuls form that would only list the car type, color, price, and year and then by clicking on that, the person would be transported to the main entry.
Does anyone have ideas on how I could congiure DBMan to allow fields such as name, year, model, make, etc. AND INCLUDE A PICTURE?
Also, can I take the log on screen off and allow all visitors to have the option of searching instead of logging on? If I do that, how can the administrator add, delete, modify entries?
I am desiging the page, and trying to keep costs low to offset the cost to the dealership because it is one in a small town, opposed to a large one that could have a commercial design hired to make one. I am pretty knowledgeable in HTML, but through creating my first DBMan database last week, I learned the very basics of CGI/Perl. However, if they like my design, they will be registering DBMan.
Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.
