Need help with a specific blog layout
Hi,
I like this layout a lot — http://eenk.com/?p=3568
All text is wrapped within a div, while images are outside it.
<div class="storycontent">some text</div>
<img src="1.jpg" />
<div class="storycontent">some text</div>
<img src="2.jpg" />
<div class="storycontent">some text</div>Do you think I can achieve this with Textpattern? I think that blog uses Wordpress.

Re: Need help with a specific blog layout
I think it is quite possible to achieve something like that. You could post each individual image as an article/attached image. If you get the plugin bot_image_upload, it will let you attach an image directly from the write tab in TextPattern. If you want more than one article image, you can achieve this by using the plugin hak_article_image . A simple way to just output the title name and its associated image is:
<h3><txp:title /></h3><txp:article_image />

One example is this jewelry website. Each jewelry (with image) is an article.

Thank you both. It looks like plugin hak_article_image might be a solution.

Re: Need help with a specific blog layout
If you will only have one image per article, you really don’t need a plugin ;)

Re: Need help with a specific blog layout
I am perhaps coming from a different direction. I looked at the site eenk.com that you liked and, in TXP terms, saw a single article that could look something like:
image 1
caption 1
image 2
caption 2 ……
image n
caption n
article body.
If all you want to do is build a single article with the list of images, you could use the plugin upm_image or yab_image to render the captions for each image in your image list which you could produce manually.
If you want to produce lots articles with this layout, I think that you could use the plug-in soo_image to generate your image lists using the txp:soo_image_select tag in conjunction with an image form which contained upm_image or yab_image tags. You could define each list by assigning its images to a specific category, for instance.
