Hi folks,

This is my first time posting here, and using DNN. I'm in the process of deploying a client site which needs an online catalog, sort of a cross between a photo gallery and an inventory utility. I've been trying to do it in UDT, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get it to come out the way I want.

I've been looking at modules like ListX and Xmod, and I was wondering what people would recommend. The end product that I deploy needs:

Custom layouts for both page display and the entry form for adding information
Ability to filter, search and sort data, both from user selections and in data views for specific pages
Ability to associate multiple photographs with each record
Ability to have different page views for each record- ie, there might be one page with the catalog entry, and one page with the photos, but they still need to be using the same dataset and accessible through the same module.
Ability to either output data records to a file, or send them via FTP to another location, preferably in conjunction with the DNN scheduler.

Probably sounds like the sort of thing I should do with a custom module, but I know very little about .NET at this point, so I was hoping to find something that I could configure to do most of this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You should also look at H2O, like Xmod and ListX but with a different feature set.  However, I agree with Nina on this.  You may be better off with an eCommerce module like CataLook (an outstanding module) then a custom forms module like H2O, Xmod or ListX.
