Catalat v2.0 is a self-hosted PHP and MySQL/MariaDB catalog and rental system designed for publishing products, services and rental items through a modern online catalog.

The platform provides a mobile-first public catalog where visitors can browse listings, categories and item pages, use search and pagination, and contact the business through configured WhatsApp, phone or email workflows. Items can include photos, pricing and optional location information.

Catalat v2.0 introduces three catalog modes: Generic, Real Estate and Vehicles. The Generic mode supports general products and services, while the Real Estate and Vehicles modes provide specialized fields for their respective catalog types.

The system also includes an optional blog module, configurable home and blog hero sections, rich-text editing, multi-language support for English, Portuguese, Spanish and French, and email features including sender settings and category subscriptions.

SEO-oriented functionality includes configurable titles and descriptions, Open Graph support, canonical helpers and hreflang helpers. An administration panel provides controls for items, categories, pages, site settings, SEO fields and optional blog content.

Catalat is designed for self-hosted deployment and includes an automated installation process as well as a manual installation option.
