Subcategory galleries issues

Hi rui,

There's probably a simple solution for you, but before I am able to suggest anything, I'm going to need to better understand what you're trying to accomplish.

I'm assuming that your top-level navigation items can be hardcoded into your menu, probably as separate Single Record sections. That leaves us with this:

- Houses
--- House 1
----- House 1 (Main photo, description and lots of photos of "house 1")
--- House 2
--- House 3
- Buildings
- bridges
- x, y ,z ...

I'm going to assume that each House has the same fields and general page layout, and each Building has the same, and Bridges, etc. If Houses are different enough from Buildings, etc, it probably makes sense to use separate Multi Record sections for your different project types (e.g. Houses, Buildings, Bridges.)

(Alternately, if the fields are all the same between all of them and you want them to display with the same templates, you could use a single Multi Record section with a List Field to select whether they're a House, Building, or Bridge.)

What throws me for a loop is this:

--- House 1
----- House 1 (Main photo, description and lots of photos of "house 1")

Why are there two "House 1"s? Do you want to break extra information about some/all of your House records out into separate pages (e.g. "More Images and Details" pages) and show links to these pages on your navigation menu?

Please describe exactly what the differences should be between your two "House 1"s and why they need to be separate and I'm sure I can come up with a solution for you. :)

Hi Chris,

Tks for the reply.

Sorry if i dint explain myself very well.


My client is an architect and he want´s a portfolio. The portfolio has categories and "products". So, the example is something like this.

Bridges
Houses
---House of Ana
---House of Peter
---House of Miguel
Buildings

So, in this case we have 3 categories and inside one of the categories we have 3 "products".

Inside each "products" we will have "Title, Description and gallery", well it´s basically a online store structure.

Tks

Hi Rui,

I'm going to assume that Bridges, Houses, and Buildings will have different information associated with them. Therefore, you'll want to use three different Multi Record sections.

For galleries, you can simply use an Upload Field configured to allow only images to be uploaded.

You can safely start by working on your Houses section first. Once you have that set up, you can build your other sections and finally put it all together with a navigation menu.

Create a Multi Record section called "Houses" and add an Upload Field to it called "Gallery". Add a couple sample houses and then use the Code Generator to build yourself both a List and a Detail page. Enter the URL for your Detail page into the Section Editor, then go to your List page to see it in action.

When you've got that working, build your Bridges and Buildings sections.

Finally, find an example of how you want your gallery to work and post that here along with your List page source code. :)
