Multiple Images on one page?

[James Costa]

Hey there guys,

I'm designing a website for a client, and essentially this is what I need the output to be:

Right now I'm trying to determine which CMS to use and I remember using PixelPost before for something much more simple than this. As of now I've been playing with the documentation and trying to come up with how to get the output I want with the amount of images on each page using PixelPost, but I don't know how it will work. Any suggestions/comments on how I could make this work using PixelPost?

You could show the most recent photo on the top, and for the bottom you could show a thumbnail row. To do this properly, you would need to set the thumbnails rather large, but it's feasible.

Also, I'm not sure how familiar you are with PHP & mySQL, because with that you can create any number of front-ends for Pixelpost.

Prime Example:

Hopefully that helps you.

(I wish I knew more about PHP/MySQL, but I'm a front-end developer.)

Well, what I'd really like to do is have the photo at the top be a slideshow that essentially could have all of the photos from one category ("featured"), and then the bottom be the most recent (so I could use the thumbnail row tag there). Any idea how I would go about doing that?

Thanks,

James

The slideshow would be using a CSS/Javascript code that would basically need all of the <IMG> tags pumped into a <DIV>. So, each time a photo was added it would just add the <IMG> tag there.

Also, would it be possible to set up everything to use lightbox js?
