   Hi,

   I need to make a simple price-list. Basically the most standard list with title and price fields.

   How can I make this out of the WP's own code and without any plugins. I would rather want to make it myself, because plugins usually come with alot of unnecessary stuff with it.

   I assume, that I could use custom post-type for this, but is this the optimal way and also, how to add the custom fields to my custom post-type?

   Thanks in advance,
   Harryson.

   If you don't want to use a plugin, you could always just make an html table using the html editor.

   No, I think my clients would not like that. Kind of loses the point of the CMS.

   I would normally create my own DB and back and front UI, however as I dont know anything about WP, then creating everything from ground up is too much legwork. I'm 100% sure WP has something in its api, that can be made into a simple catalog.

   How many types of items and how many items are you wanting in the catalog? How often do these items change?

   What difference does it have? 20x items per group 6x groups.

   In a nutshell:

   1. Create custom post type and custom taxonomy "categories"
   2. Create a page called "the list page" and put in the content [the_list]
   3. Create a custom shortcode, that displays the list with categories

   Thanks for your help!
