I need your help.
I need to list some products in my site, but I can't find correct snippet. May be it doesn't exist, but I have no idea how to organize all.
These products are not for sell, as an online shop do.
The site is a standard company site with few categories.
The name of the second category is Products.
Once the visitor click on it he have to see list with all products. Small image with few words on the right side and link "more info".
Then he click on "more info" link and enter in the product info page. There have one or few image and some text.
This is all what I need.
Can you recommend me snippet ot idea which one to use(modify) to can use it?

While the is no Snippet or Module that fits that need I know that others have managed to attain that basic functionality... How you go about it depends on your skills with working with Etomite Snippets and Chunks... I can think of several ways to go about this for a handful of products... You might even be able to use a Snippet like one of the NewsListing or related snippets... Each product would be a Document of its own, complete with image... Most of the NewsListing related snippets have a More tag of one type or another so you can list short summaries with a link to the full Document... Another option would be to use GetSideBar... Yeah, sounds simple for me because I have worked with Etomite for years and have figured out ways to do many tasks without Turn-Key solutions... Sometimes those tasks evolved into Snippets and other times the work-around suited the need without additional work...

How many items would need to be displayed for each product category...??? I have a hunch it can all be done with Documents, a Chunk based layout template, and a Snippet...

They will be 3 product categories with 20 products in each category.

I will look at NewsListing, but if you have better idea I will be very thankful.
