Can GCB "content" be a drop down of images? [SOLVED]

Post by wmisk »

I am trying to create a Global Content Block that will work similarly to the content_image tag-where only a drop down menu would appear of certain images. If all else fails I can just choose an image and have the end user change that using the wysiwyg, but I was hoping to "force" only a selection of a few images to prevent any mistakes. It's for a fire department website where they will display on all pages the "fire danger" for the day, and it will change daily (I have 5 unique images for each level of danger), but the secretary will be editing this each day so I need it to be really easy. Thanks!

Look into the module GBFilePicker - it let's you specify dropdowns and file selections that you can use in your template. You can even specify which folders the use can pick images from when editing a page.
