Hi, All.

Does anyone have any example sites of galleries that have categories which are controlled with CMS Builder? I have a client who wants to have an index page that links to various different individual galleries. The client will be able to add new galleries.

Thanks!

Hi, Nigel -

Yes, I have created a fully CMSB controlled gallery - which you'll find on the following site...

The entire portal is run by CMSB.

Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I'm looking for! Do you mind if I ask:

1. Is this based on an existing gallery code? e.g. http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

2. Did you use one of CMS Builder's presets to create the index, subsections and popups? e.g. Products

Hi, Nigel -

No and no! The entire thing is "scratchbuilt" - bespoke.

Hi, Nigel -

In my experience pretty much everything is possible with CMSB! It's just a case of thinking your way around each design consideration. If you can take the time to explore the possibilites it can prove to be a very intuitive and creative platform.

Have a play!

I agree - I love working with CMSB. I'm about to embark on my sixth site using it and I have another two in the pipeline. It's amazing how much the application has improved in only one year. However, this is the first time that I'll be attempting to build a photo gallery, so it's a new challenge!

Cheers,

Hi Perchpole
I seem to be struggling to even get two galleries to link on a next/previous record basis where there are two records in a section. Would you be able to help me with some code. I am using a simple Lightbox 2 configuration. Any ideas?

I have a lightbox 2 project with a 2 listings in one section that I would like to link with a previous and next link device down at the bottom of the page. However when I add a second page to the CMS it doesn't recognise it and comes up with an error. Strangely it does make a page but makes it page=4? Very weird.. Many thanks
