Hello,

I looking for either a Stack or add-on which to purchase that will allow me to display the content of either a data file (CSV or XML format) or a SQL database (that I would load the file into) in a grid of 4 or 5 across by 6 or 7 down. The content of each cell will contain a html link to an external site for graphics and will also have some text fields. If the user clicks on the cell it will take them to a new webpage we more information about the item. This will also come from the same data source.

I think that I should be looking at an online store type product or maybe a CMS product. The data will changes most days and the website pages will need to be very dynamic.

The sort of lay which I am looking for is similar to [Boutique](https://www.themeflood.com/files/boutique.jpg) from themeflood.

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Steve

Hello @stevie_d ,

The screenshot of my Boutique theme (I’ve attached it again below to safe guard in case the link breaks) is using a page created with the [RapidCart Pro](http://4gnd.com/store/index.php?product/page/22/rapidcart%E2%80%93pro) plugin by Foreground.

Grids really are not too difficult to create in RapidWeaver and there are several ways they can be accomplished. Indeed my free [AdaptiveGrid](https://stacks4stacks/adaptivegrid/) or [UsefulGrid](https://stacks4stacks/usefulgrid/) stacks are well-suited towards quickly generating a responsive grid.

However your requirement of needing to interface the grid to a CMS does limit the options open to you somewhat. My [Filter](https://stacks4stacks/filter/) stack has the ability to read items from a plain text file you can host in any public location. But you might not need all the filtering / sorting capabilities that Filter stack brings.

[WeaverPix](https://www.chillidogsoftware.com/chillidog-software-rapidweaver-plugins/weaverpix-rapidweaver-plugin/) is another option, in that you can manage a collection of images and associated caption content / links remotely (outside of RapidWeaver). Using a free WeaverPix theme like [UniformGrid](https://themeflood.com/weaverpix/) would generate a responsive grid of linked images or captions.

-Will.

Hello Will,

Thanks, I will give them a try.
