Blog like functionality

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this, before I get stuck into it.

The site will have a stock page, that will list cars that are for sale. No purchases will be made via the site.

Each car will have a page with full details.

Ideally, I'd want it to work a bit like the blog.

I want the client to be able to create a car page and it would be listed in the stock page.

So like a blog when you create a new blog post, its automatically listed in the blog posy index page.

Is it possible to recreate this functionality without using the blog app?

I hope I've made sense.

That sounds like an ideal use case for Runway Collections, it's exactly what they were designed for.

I know but client won't upgrade to Runway :(

I'm not sure I can help then, as that would be the solution.

Hi Juan,

You can easily do this with a list and detail page. Instructions here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/content/functions/how-do-i-create-list-detail-pages/

Thank you Simon, I found that very late last night was going to update the post, and slap the back of my head for forgetting about list and detail!
