Product specification - how to integrate into Textpattern
Any ideas how can I implement something like this in txp, so that users (my client) can easily ad new spec with every new product he ads?
Thanks!

Use custom fields for data

I thought of that, but I was afraid that it will be too many custom fields…
Second, there are different products, not all specs are the same (but I guess thats not the problem).
Third, next year there will be new products that have some new data, that were not there before, so I can’t predict what will be in the spec in the future..
so few years down the road, there could be like hundreds and hundreds custom fields, it will be difficalt to work with it…

Your client will already have all these data in a spreadsheet application, I presume.
If so, you should consider a solution with one of these plugins: aks_table, rcb_excel, and yab_csv2table.
Some additional valuable tips here, here, and here.

no, we will take all data exactly from this site, they don’t have it in spreadsheet.

One of them was for copying tables from the web, I think the aks one.

hmm.. that could be the solution, they can first prepare all data in exel spreadsheet, and then easy copy paste in txp article body.
Thanks :)
