[solved] Looking for advice on how to set up this layout...

Post by point4design »

I'm converting this site to cmsmadesimple:

http://eventsbyduvall.com/

It's all fairly straight forward but I need some advice on how to replicate certain functionality. If you follow that link and go to: Catering --> Featured Categories --> Hors d’oeuvres you'll see that a bunch of thumbnails come up along the bottom of the site. I'm thinking I can use a photo gallery for those. But here's the tricky part. If you click on of the thumbnails it replaces the larger image on the page AND puts a title description next to the links in the main part of the page. How could I accomplish this custom setup? I really hope somebody has some advice for this.

You probably should post on the Layout and Design forum, seems more appropriate. And I think you'll probably need some kind of script to do what you're trying to achieve. Though this might be something that can help you:

Of course you'll have to read the Source Code in order to understand how it's done, which you could do with the page of the link you posted.

I think I've got it worked out. Just used the photo gallery and a little javascript to put the title/description where I need it on the page.
