How would I add to my Gallery and my Homepage JQuery Fader

Hello again CMSB followers!

Here is my site (not live yet but close!!)

http://www.thewrapsource.com/index.php

I am looking to have my clients add images to the fader on the home page and then if you click "Wrap Gallery" I want them to be able to add photos each section or several at a time. ie: They can add a photo to "Cars" that may also show up in "Floral and Garden Centers" or vice versa.

I am not sure how to add this functionality into the editors in CMSB for those pages. Feel free to ask questions as I may not have explained it too well.

Thanks!
Best,
Lenny

Hi lterenzi,

Let's start with the rotating images on the front page. It looks like the code in the page for that is as follows:

<ul id="slider">
<li><img src="/images_top/slider_empty.png" alt="img"></li>
<li><img src="/images_top/slider_colortyme.png" alt="img"></li>
<li><img src="/images_top/slider_carroll.png" alt="img"></li>
</ul>

So to add to those you'd have CMS Builder output a list of images in <li></li> tags. You could either have a section called "Frontpage images" or a section for "Images" that had checkboxes for "frontpage", "cars", etc and let the client check which sections they wanted the image to appear in. Then you would list images for a specific section by adding a where like this:

'where' => " cars_section = 1 ",

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave -

It does shine a light but I think I need it a little brighter :)

How do I get it to output the code I need. I hate to say I may need step-by step on how to do this but I might. If that falls under paid consulting just let me know!

Also for the Gallery you will see the string of code for the images has a few extras in there ths is what I need to be output for that section:

<li><a href="/pathtoLGimg/ImageName.jpg" rel="lightbox[ImageSetname]"><img src="/pathtoSMimg/ImageName.jpg" alt="img" width="150" height="110"><span class="enlarge"></span></a></li>

Thanks once again for the quick reply!

Best
Lenny

Hi lterenzi,

The code should look something like this:

<?php foreach ($record['yourUploadField'] as $upload): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>"
rel="lightbox[ImageSetname]"><img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>"
alt="img" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth'] ?>"
height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight'] ?>"><span class="enlarge"></span></a></li>
<?php endforeach ?>

You'll need to change the variable name and fieldname that are in red to match yours.

Let me know if that works for you.

I am afraid that with my limited knowledge I may need to have you guys knock this out. There is more to it than this and I probably need to explain it better. I will head over to your consultation area. Also this needs to get done faster than I may be able to do even with your generous help on the forum.
Best,
Lenny
