Transforming design into Textpattern - Is this transformation possible

Hi,

First of all, I have a simple question about normal technique of making sites in textpattern. What i am doing is that I first created the HTML and then now (trying to) transforming it to TextPattern.

Is this how you all do ?

Now, my real query … I have made a design for which I am quite perplexed in converting into TextPattern. If you please see this page, you would understand it.

http://www.fasdez.com/mdg/prop2.php

This is a normal property posting page, and I want my enduser to enter (through admin( all these details for a property.

My problems are :-

1). How would he enter one main picture and then 4-6 other pictures (for a thumbnail view) for a single property?

2). How can I make specific fields of “Size”, “Location”, “Price” and “Description” and “Pictures” for every property, so that every property is added seamlessely by a user. Just straightaway like that … Add the Fields, upload the pictures, press the submit button and Voila !

Is this possible ?

yes, to add to what Els said, in hak_article_image you can use the attributes offset and limit to treat the first image differently to the rest.

Would it also be possible to use that Ajax script with my images ?

yes its possible. you can generally throw anything you want at it. textpattern will output whatever you input. but saying something like “can i use ajax script with my images” means and tells us absolutely nothing.

Actually you are wrong.

It tells something.

i.e. that I know nothing about textpattern … and I am a total newbie :-)

Thank you very very much for all you prompt replies.

I will come back after implementing it.
