Quick Question - How would I do this?

miles · 2012-02-02 12:16:12

Hi guys

I am scratching my head here trying to work out how to solve this problem, hope someone can help

Please see this – http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/screenshot20120202at121.png/

Basically the solution needed is:

Section to be ARTISTS, then inside that section a list of artists then when clicked it will show a selection of work. When the piece of work is clicked it will show an article list of available pieces like in the picture.

Does anyone get what I mean and how I would do it?

Thank you very much

If you don’t have many artists’, you could make category for each artist.
Then all you need to do is select right category for each article, and use

<txp:catergory_list /> on ARTSITS sections page.

Thanks Tom but then I need a article listing within the art page to show individual selections of the piece

This scenario will do it:

Artists – Section

Artists names – Articles

Pieces of work – Images

On textpattern

1- Publish the Artist name as a regular article onto the Artists Section
2- Associate as many piece of works as you want (images) to the artist (article).

On code:
The first image will be showed as soon as the user clicks the Artist name ( The user will be on a URI such as www.yoursite.com/artists/michelangelo).
Using javascript (jquery!) you can trigger the other images to show up when the user clicks the first one.
If you need to retreive some information for each image (Pieces of Work) you can push it from ALT tag or, even better, Legend tag.

Section to be ARTISTS, then inside that section a list of artists then when clicked it will show a selection of work. When the piece of work is clicked it will show an article list of available pieces like in the picture.

One easy solution (of many):

Section to be ARTISTS, (check, one artist = one article)
then inside that section a list of artists (txp:if_article_list, txp:excerpt)
then when clicked it will show a selection of work. (txp:if_individual_article, txp:body)
When the piece of work is clicked it will show an article list of available pieces like in the picture.

The last point is your work you have to invest into the single articles. More precise: Each ‘piece of work’ must be linked to a keyword or a (B: image) category. A) The link will result in an article list with a different listform. (or) B) The link will result in an image list/gallery.

I think I get you but I am getting nowhere here. Do you accept freelance work? Or does anyone else here?
