Hi all - I really have a hard time with the documentation I am finding - hopefully someone has a more detailed link I can use. I am creating my own layouts for ExhibitBuilder 1.0 for use in Omeka 1.3.
I'm not exactly a php wizard - I can clunk along with it as long as I can understand what I am doing.
Anyway - are there any good links on how to do this? What the items mean? etc?
I am right now trying to create a layout and keep coming up with very bizarre results.
What I am trying to do is have two text records in the same record. So that I can have an image on the left, a transcript of that image on the right, the caption underneath the image and a large text field underneath all the above that contains a description of same.
No matter what I do, I seem to end up with the fact that the second text field is non-html and always overwrites the 1st text field. OR, the 2nd field sits underneath the 1st textfield.
Neither one works for what I need.
Any ideas?
Something like this should work for you.
Edit your form.php to:
<fieldset class="<?php echo $layout; ?>">
<?php
echo exhibit_builder_layout_form_item(1);
echo exhibit_builder_layout_form_text(1);
echo exhibit_builder_layout_form_text(2);
?>
</fieldset>Then your layout.php should be something along the lines of:
<div class="text-image-left">
<div class="primary">
<?php if(exhibit_builder_use_exhibit_page_item(1)):?>
<div class="exhibit-item">
<?php echo exhibit_builder_exhibit_display_item(array('imageSize'=>'fullsize'), array('class'=>'permalink')); ?>
<?php echo exhibit_builder_exhibit_display_caption(1); ?>
</div>
<div class="exhibit-item-transcript">
<?php echo exhibit_builder_page_text(1); ?>
</div>
<div class="exhibit-item-description">
<?php echo exhibit_builder_page_text(2); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="secondary">
<div class="exhibit-text">
</div>
</div>
</div>If you float .exhibit-item left and .exhibit-item-transcript right and then have .exhibit-item-description clear:both, you should get the effect you desire.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
That was exactly what I needed! You're a day-spent-banging-my-head-against-the-desk saver:)
Are there any themes that offer this as a standard option? If not, it'd be a very useful addition (i.e. choice of text/text, image/text, image/image side by side on one page).
No, but you can modify the files shown above if you would like to use a layout similar to what is described above.
