Sliding gallery

Hi Freewayers,

I’ve got a client who wants to add a sliding gallery similar to the one under "Garden Furniture’ on this website: http://www.wyevalegardencentres.co.uk

The site will be built using BackDraft and if poss he’d like to be able to edit/add new images/text using WebYep.

Is this, or something similar, possible in FW?

Thanks in advance. Steve

Just to be clear here:

  1. Wether or not Backdraft, this info doesn’t matter at all cause it’s just freeway-doc, .
  2. Freeway is a web-editor and can do everything (I only know about some few limitations).
  3. This is more or less a slider - such as owl-slider. But others can do it for sure too.

This is what you need to know:

  1. A fundamental idea how the MarkUp (HTML) construction of each script will be constructed.
  2. How to handle external resources (CSS+JS files)
  3. What class and ID basically means. Cause this is important for
  4. Successfully create the init-file

In Webyep?

Well - long time ago, I did some crazy things with it - even “client editable” sliders. Out of the box for sure not. It required a good TextEditor with file uploads.

Cutting a long story short:

WebYep isn’t built for such things. Preferably make the client a good quote for adjusting this. In my terms, clients like those anyway don’t need a CMS - they need a well structured UX and UI designer. Those “editable” areas require really some special knowledge on both side:

Client and FrontEnd dev.

Cheers

Thanks Thomas,

Unfortunately the ability to edit the content themselves is key to the customers requirements - more so than the slider is; so I think I’ll need to just go with a static WebYep loop of image/text for now. I’m liking the owl-slider though and will keep it in mind for another project where it may well come in useful.

Cheers. Steve

Unless you are already tied to WebYep there might be other lightweight CMS that allow for easy editing of slider content. Might be worth investigating if you have the time and budget.

Perhaps Pulse?

Some of the more feature-rich CMS can handle this but they would certainly be overkill.
