[TYPO3] entering/editing/retrieving and presenting information about hotels - address extensions, or new IRRE extension?

[Cate & Peter]

Hi all

 

I have a question, that I think is unfortunately limited by my TS illiterate
brain :-)

 

I want to be able to connect tables with information about hotels with pages
with fairly simply URLs. I want the information to be basically searchable
(ie to obtain a listing of hotels that are adults only, which is obviously a
Yes/No field, or in a particular location, for which I would use
static_information tables). It also needs to contain Null/Not Null fields
for facilities, such as "kitchen", etc, and star ratings.

 

I could use something like the addresses type of extension (which I haven't
tried) . but not sure how I would add a list of Null/Not Null fields, and
also not sure how to keep URLs simple and relevant (ie,
Country/City/HotelName ).

 

Or I could investigate using IRRE in a new extension - but then I am
completely ignorant and illiterate about creating extensions.

 

The one thing I understand well is Database design and normalisation :-)

 

Any suggestions?
