How to reproduce static HTML product display in MODx??

I have a static HTML site that I want to automate with MODx.
Sample page: http://shopsonstar.com/porcelain.html
How should I set up MODx to do the product display following the text preamble??
Database?? TVs?? What?? Documentation on how to do?? Have not yet received The Book.
Any/all suggestions will be read.
Can't really use a shopping cart since the 'Buy Now' buttons redirect to the distributor and this is not subject to change.
Thank you, Tom

Could be done using resources (documents or weblinks) and some TVs (for example a checkbox for "★ Local Artisan"), using getResources with a proper &tpl &tplOdd properties to generate the listing.

If you can change the HTML slightly, it would help to instead of defining every row with its own class to simply use a float and the tplOdd property to assign the "last" class to the second listing.

Hmmm...that's what I was afraid someone would say -- use documents -- I thought it might be doable with a database and chunks to insert the database text into the requisite places in a template...

Thank you for the tplEven/tplOdd idea for getResources, the row class would be part of the main template...

Also I'd hoped I could do a random sort order...meanwhile I'll try all this out...

Wish MODx made it easier to create and display custom database table data.

Thank you, Tom

You can sort getResources (or most snippets, really) with &sort=`RAND()`. And you do use chunks from database stuff with getResources...

If you want to use custom tables I would advice that, but developing the component to manage it with may take too much time. Your first post almost sounded desperate so I didn't want to push that further.

A third option I only now think of is using MIGX, which sort of brings the two together in a TV: rtfm.modx.com/display/addon/MIGX. That could actually be what you're looking for as every "category" resource would use that TV, and the products would be in there. There's a few tutorials in the documentation that can help you get some inspiration on how it works.

I didn't realize I sounded desperate...eek!! Frustrated at not knowing where to look/do.
The Book being months late doesn't help either.
Seems it will be a mix of table, resource, TVs, etc.
I remember reading of MIGx but I'll look it up again etc.
Thank you, this is a good start
Hoping this works because then I could include blog/comments/etc. which is hard to do in static html.
Thank you, Tom
