Great use of thickbox

Hi,

very nice and simple design. I really liked your use of thickbox.
How did you get the whole form into thickbox? I would appreciate if you can provide some code samples

Re: Great use of thickbox

For the most part, thickbox is driven by the node template (node-poster.tpl.php). If the user (or search engine robot) doesn't have JS, they still get the node page w/o thickbox. This is what the teaser link looks like:

<?php
print '<a href="/'.$node->poster_url.'" class="thickbox" onclick="this.href=\'/posters/view/'.$node->nid.'/tb?height=500&width=750\';">';
?>

There is also a custom module that generates the poster urls and handles navigation, searching, filtering, etc. Its very specialized for this site/product type. I originally tried to use views + views filterblock to handle all of that, but it ended up being a PITA and easier just to roll my own.

Re: Re: Nice!

The advanced search and poster page itself is a completely custom solution. I originally attempted to do it using exposed views filters, but realized shortly into it that it was just easier to roll my own.

I really love the way you setup the site! I am an artist and I would like to use this type of format for my site for my online store. Is there a module/template for this and where can I find the "Approximate Size" feature, that is a great feature for my clients to see and use.

Great work!!

Customization for Todd Lim Gallery?

Rob,

I want to build a gallery very similar to your Todd Lim Gallery. Did setting up this gallery require much custom development? I have worked a lot with Joomla but I am new to Drupal. I am happy to learn Drupal but I would like to get an idea if I will need to do much custom develpment to create a gallery similar to your Todd Lim Gallery.

Thanks!

paul
