Hello,

I am trying to set up an admin control of a slider.

1) I created a "Slides" section where the user just enters a slide id and a background image (in red below). I will the include the correct code from the code generator.

Within those "Slides" there are text and "front" images that have to be controled from the admin.

2) I created a slide_images section (as a category section) where the user can upload the "front images" and other informations into different fields (in green below).

The structure would be:

<section id="feature_slider" class="">

<article class="slide" id="showcasing" style="background: url('img/backgrounds/landscape.png') repeat-x top center;">

       <img class="asset left-30 sp600 t120 z1" src="img/slides/scene1/macbook.png" />

       <div class="info">
       <h2>Beautiful theme for showcasing your works.</h2>
       </div>
</article>
<article class="slide" id="ideas" style="background: url('img/backgrounds/aqua.jpg') repeat-x top center;">
       <div class="info">
      <h2>We love to turn ideas into beautiful things.</h2>
      </div>
      <img class="asset left-480 sp600 t260 z1" src="img/slides/scene2/left.png" />
      <img class="asset left-210 sp600 t213 z2" src="img/slides/scene2/middle.png" />
      <img class="asset left60 sp600 t260 z1" src="img/slides/scene2/right.png" />
</article>
<article class="slide" id="tour" style="background: url('img/backgrounds/color-splash.jpg') repeat-x top center;">
<img class="asset left-472 sp650 t210 z3" src="img/slides/scene3/ipad.png" />
<img class="asset left-365 sp600 t270 z4" src="img/slides/scene3/iphone.png" />
<img class="asset left-350 sp450 t135 z2" src="img/slides/scene3/desktop.png" />
<img class="asset left-185 sp550 t220 z1" src="img/slides/scene3/macbook.png" />
<div class="info">
<h2>Fully Responsive theme</h2>
<a href="features.html">TOUR THE PRODUCT</a>
</div>
</article>
<article class="slide" id="responsive" style="background: url('img/backgrounds/indigo.jpg') repeat-x top center;">
<img class="asset left-472 sp600 t120 z3" src="img/slides/scene4/html5.png" />
<img class="asset left-190 sp500 t120 z2" src="img/slides/scene4/css3.png" />
<div class="info">
<h2>
Responsive <strong>HTML5 & CSS3</strong>
Theme
</h2>
</div>
</article>
</section>

How can include the slide_images  information within the "Slides". Could anyone help?

Many Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi, 

I'm sure this should be possible, but I'll need a bit more information. Are the slides and slide_images sections linked in any way using a field (like this: http://www.interactivetools.com/kb/article.php?Populate-a-list-field-from-another-section-15)?  Would it be possible to combine these two sections into one instead? As this could make the code a lot simpler.  

Thanks!

Greg

Hi Greg,

thanks for you reply. Yes they are linked as in the knowledge base you mentioned.

I am trying to see how I could combone the two sections and let you know how it worked out.

Thank you,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

OK, let me know if you can't combine them, as another option is to use the leftJoin function, this post explains how to use it:
