You can add a model range page into c9 which shows new vehicles of a specific type in a fairly fancy way.
We have preset data for a couple of suppliers. For example, Kawasaki
https://c8software.com.au/bikeshop/dev/modelrange/products/kawasaki
You can create your own pages on website the same. How to do this below
There are two steps, the overall structure of the page and then the individual units
Overall structure
High level, model pages need to be organised into 4 levels. The levels being
- Level 0 : the make. e.g. Honda / KTM
- Level 1 : Segment. e.g. Road / Off-Road
- Level 2 : product. e.g. MX, Enduro
- Level 3 : individual items. e.g. CRF 450, CBR 600
- Level 2 : product. e.g. MX, Enduro
- Level 1 : Segment. e.g. Road / Off-Road
So a typical structure can look like so.
There are two ways you can define the structure. In 'structured mode' or 'flat mode'.
Structured mode.
Structured mode is exactly like above screen grab. This you set up in business -> website structure. Use the buttons to add / view/modify buttons to create a base item. The top showing 'Structured' is level 0. Engines is level 1 and GP Engines is level 2.
In level 0 for structured, very basic. Give it the name.
On advanced tab, for level 0 only, you need to define webclass to be modelstyle. Like so:
You only need to do this with level 0.
For levels 1 and 2. Just add them and define the name. Nothing else needs to be done.
To add units, in level 3. Highlight a level 2 item and click on text/images. In here you define your level 3 units as spec sheets
Insert / or change to access a spec sheet.

Flat Mode
Instead of structured mode, there is an alternative flat mode. In flat mode you drop everything into a single menu option in website structure.
The levels are distinguished by add header and sub headers into the list of items to render. The flat node entry needs to have its webclass set to modelstyle too, just like structured mode.
This mode is a bit more fiddly to maintain so generally stick with structured mode
