Our business is motorhome sales. The database we use to record stock details is ACT!6.0 and PhotoAct for the photos. Currently to keep our web listing up to date each week I am using PhotoAct to export our current stock to a Word Document. From there I save the Word Document as a web page and edit it further in Dreamweaver. Our current stock list can be viewed from the following link: (http://www.motorhomecentre.co.nz/current_stock/stock_list.htm) Apart from being time consuming there are many limitations to this process and I am hoping someone will be able to help me achieve the following: 1. Photoact allows you to store several images per vehicle in Act. Unfortunately I cannot export them as thumbnails for users to click on for a larger image (unless I did this manually for each image which would be far too time consuming). I would like to have 3 thumbnails per motorhome on the listing (2 internal and 1 external) so the user can click on the thumbnail to view a larger image. 2. When I export the motorhomes from Act they are exported into Word and then saved as a webpage. Ideally I would like to limit the number of motorhomes per page so the user does not have to download all information at once. I could do this manually but again this is time consuming. I would like to set the number of motorhomes listed per page and this be done automatically. 3. In our ACT! database there are many fields which are exported to our stock listing such as "Make" "Model" "Price" "No. of berths" "Shower" "Toilet" e.t.c. I would like users to be able to search on these fields and only the results of this search be displayed on the listing. 4. Currently, as all the motorhomes are listed on one page I have limited the information per motorhome to save space. Should the user be interested in further information I would like them to be able to click on a button "more details" and have more information from the database made available. This way I would be able to remove some of the info currently displayed and only make this available should someone wish to see further details. OK, so that is what I want to achieve. If this can be achieved exporting directly from ACT! that would be brilliant otherwise if there is some software I can purchase that can extract the data fields from ACT and image fields from Photoact and then use that software to create my webpage stock listing that would be fine. I am limited by budget as this is a temporary measure for the next 12 - 18 mths until we review all our software requirements. Therefore, I am only willing to spend up to $300 on additional software. Many thanks in advance. Kate. |
