Gallery functionality

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if Textpattern can produce sites that work like this ? My guess is that particular site uses Wordpress.

I’m looking to see if this is a possibility for a gallery that I am doing up for a client. I know that TXP has problems with handling subsets, for example main>sub1>sub2>sub3>individual articles. Am I right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Re: Gallery functionality

It is possible, but it requires a fair amount of coding. For every Product-Group create an article with an article-image. The actual products go into a different weblog. I would attempt linking them using categories. (Product Group page only lists the products that are in the same category as itself.)

Alternatively, if you can fit the entire description for the product into the image-description field, you could use just images and categories, without ever touching articles. (The only thing that you need to find out is how to attach descriptions (or custom fields in general) to image_categories. Coincidentally, I actually have the same question and just opened a thread on that matter a couple of minutes ago: http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=28627 )
