Help need urgent by noob – cant find a plugin

  • Hi guys!

    Just started with php and found wordpress through a friend and it looks great! But I have a problem that is stressing me out.. I got the site working and changed theme and all but now im looking for, have now ben seaching for it for close to two hours: I need a plugin/addon that helps me make searchable pages with different colums in it. Its for a homepage for a small business renting and selling trucks and loaders. I need a plugin where I can modify the tables and have a searchfuntion on every page so that customers can search for “frontloader” and “diesel” depending on the different values I put in. And I also need to put one or two images to each entry as well.

    Im a total noob and I want to learn but coding by hand is to hard for me. Any one who knows of a plugin for wordpress that can do this?

    THanks in advance!

  • Dave, you want something not so simple. I’m thinking about a multi-column theme with one category per column and the use of categories for your “frontloader” and “diesel”s. This is not too easy already, but when you want one column to change on chosing a tag, that’ll be something too. Why do you want columns anyway?

    Hey! Thanks for replying!

    Hm it might not be the right word “colums” then? Im swedish and do get things mixed up. The loaders and trucks have diffrent values: hours operated; year it was built; cost to rent/day; cost to buy. Those are the values each vehicle have and then I just want to add the names of them and the values, have a page show the results and have a searchfunction.

    Is that a better explanation?

    Sorry if im confusing you ??

    Just to force you to experiment a little with WP, but think about this.

    A post has the name of the truck.
    You can asign “categories” and “subcategories”.
    You can asign “tags”.

    Try to figure out if this structure has enough room to play for you. Should that be, things will be easy, if it is not, we’ll have to expand a bit.

    Just to give you an idea. On my website I have musicreviews. The title of a post is artist * album title * year
    For “categories” I have music style.
    For “tags”, artist name, music label name (I could add year, but haven’t done so).

    People can click on the artist name to get a list with all releases of that artist, the same for label or musical style. Of course there is a dropdown with musical styles and I guess I could make a dropdown for the tags too. I also have subcategories such as “popmusic”->”bluesrock” or “electropop”.

    Do you see possibilities there? This is all standard WP.
