[SOLVED] Advice required for Homepage 'panels'

Post by richard-s »

Hi,

I have a client that wants their home page to display differnt panels as shown on attached jpg.

Is there any module that will help to do this?



Usually I would just code the whole thing and edit it when required, but I want something that the client will be able to edit easily.

The one solution that I can think of is to have various {content} blocks but any other ideas would be very welcome


Thank you

Richard

I agree, I'd go for 3 content blocks per box

#heading1
#image1
#content1

#heading2
#image2
#content2

etc.

embrace the power of the cms  :)

Thanks for both the suggestions

I was originally thinking of 6 contents blocks - 1 per box, but laits your idea is much better.

I have changed it slightly as below:

{content block="heading1" wysiwyg="false" oneline="true"}
{content_image block='image1' dir='images'}
{content block="summary1" wysiwyg="false" oneline="true"}

{content block="heading2" wysiwyg="false" oneline="true"}
{content_image block='image2' dir='images'}
{content block="summary2" wysiwyg="false" oneline="true"}

etc...



Cheers

Richard
