New Car Info was my first solo Drupal project. It allows users to compare vehicle specifications, prices and information simultaneously - which is particularly useful when looking to purchase a new vehicle.

To achieve this I developed a comparison tool alongside the standard Drupal installation and then included the relevant PHP code in each page or panel. This isn't ideal but saved me having to create a custom module which was above my capabilities.

To create the look of NCI, I modified the popular Fourseasons theme using: Panels, Views and Mini Panels.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Christian

I am looking to do something similar. Any tips on the comparison code?

How did you get the data on manufacturers, make, and model?

I've had a couple of people ask me this now so I'll try and put together a basic guide in the next day or two.

The car data is supplied on a weekly basis by these guys: www.carfacts.co.uk
