djCatalog directory extension (beta)

djcat

We decided to pass to the Joomla community our latest tool. Many of our customers reported a need for an interesting presentation with the simultaneous possibility of cataloging into specific sections and categories.

Dj catalogis a universal component which meets these expectations, may serve as a directory of products or specific galleries. Thanks to a flexible structure can be easily customized to your individual visual requirements.

Demo catalog can be seen at http://addons.design-joomla.eu/djcat/or at http://templates.design-joomla.eu/dj-mobile/

Documentation: download

To the component there are modules attached that displays a directory of categories, a list of manufacturers, and the most interesting module based on Ajax technology, which is used for the presentation of the directory from selected category/categories.

Extension installation is simple. You can make it in two ways.

GD2 Library

Installation package is ready to download from here - downloads/download/components/djcatalog-3-1pack-1.5.x.html

Working with configuration and component

Standard settings are available from the standard parameter icon.

In the global component's parameters you can set the following:

number of items to be displayed per page
currency
location of the price field
show whether the price is showed or not (off parameter can be used as a specific component for the gallery)
smaller thumbnail's dimensions (width and height)
normal thumbnail's dimensions (width and height)

Products in the directory can be placed in any category or subcategory or may be uncategorized.

Adding and editing products will not cause problems to anyone. It's that simple.

Notice the ability of adding multiple images and other attachments (technical documentation , product cards in PDF for example). In hands of a proficient webmaster this component can be a really powerful tool for presentation of products.

From frontend the products can be presented in a few ways.

Blog of the products from categories.
Table of the product from categories.
A single product

Simply set the menu for the element type:

menu_items

There is also the menu module (categories), and producer's listing module. In the parameters of both modules, we can set the category (in a blog or table style)
