i am desperately in search of a horizontal exhibit format.
left to right instead of up and down.
if anyone knows how to make one and is willing to share it with me, i would be extremely grateful.
i know there is supposed to be one in the next big upgrade but i cant wait anymore! :)
help!
LOL!
I predict one will pop up very soon now.
a horizontal site? or an upgrade?
;)
also... my friend matt did one... but he is traveling japan right now... maybe you can pick it out of his code or something...
is that possible? i am code dumb. (mostly...)
two people emailed me over the weekend about this - I will let them know.
thanks clint. looked at his code via the css editor on firefox and not sure how to adapt it to my site. (philly represent!)
vaska - i posted a topic about this the other day, if i email you personally will you be willing to hook me up?
mdominguezjr... are you in philly? have we met?
(i mean... its a small town... kind of.)
mdominguezjr, Tomorrow,
I am planning on releasing such a template, but I need to make it work with the basic indexhibit install (which could be then customized by the user via CSS and so on). For now my template is customized for a -heavily modified - website so I can't just release it like that...
One thing I am wondering - and I would like to get the opinion of the forum users on that - is if this exhibit format would just make the content space scrollable horizontally and keep the menu as is (vertical), or will it be combined with a different menu layout (probably horizontal at the top or bottom of the page...).
In the later, to what extent a new custom menu is required or just repositioning the actual menu via CSS...
A quick visual mockup (put on your server and link here) of what you visualize would help me make some choices and please as much people as possible I hope.
*EDIT
I've just checked Tomorrow's friend Mattb's page. Would that be a sufficient solution to this 'horizontal exhibit format'?
I would be curious what people think a horizontal template should look like? Show me...
i mean... i like matt's site. and i think that its pretty functional. i do worry what will happen once he has exhibits that go "below the fold" and you will have to scroll in both directions. i think that might be too much.
but a menu that goes all the way across the top, while it sounds pretty cool... sounds like trouble in the functionality department. but what do i know?
i also like matt's site where the menu stays static and the images scroll behind. if i could do it similarly i would.
i picture it like 'over and over' except going left to right.
tomorrow, yeah i am from philly. live in fishtown, i dont think we have ever met personally but have similar acquaintances. my name is manny. my friend meredith grant (who now lives in chicago) took a photo of you when she was at uarts.

oh and here is another site that seems to have a very similar format to indexhibit that seems like the way a horizontal format should look.
Tomorrow,
I think that vertical scrolling should be "disabled" in this kind of layout... if some content does extend bellow the visible region (or if a user resizes the window) it should only be visually "cropped" or whatever we would call this and no vertical scroll bar should appear ( the designer should also take care of making images that fit in a decent sized window).
I will try to output one of the solutions quickly and we can work from that I guess.
one last tiny detail is with the horizontal scroll-bar... I tend to think it should sit at the bottom of the window, but in the example provided by mdominguezjr it floats at the bottom of the content...
I will go with what I believe is better, but would be happy to have some confirmation/counter argument on this.
Why did I have all of this mixed up with a different kind of navigation?
Yeah, there are tons of formats like that around...it would be cool if somebody would share there work back with the community. I've built a couple myself as well...but they aren't for sharing as they are client work.
hey manny... i love that little lady meredith.
i think at the bottom of the window is good.
Here it is: Crabs on a beach (Ok, I could have done better for the naming part)
Hopefully, the new horizontal Exhibition Format for Indexhibit.
You can get it over here:

Feedback is more then welcomed.
love the pics of the crabs!
thanks so much for this, gonna download it now and get some feedback to you sooon!
YEA!
antoine hasn't slept for 30 days to build this so big thanks.
Make it 31 ;)
I've pushed a minor update of Crabs on a beach - 1.0.1.
-Simplified the styles to make it more 'indexhibit vanilla style'
-Added a bit more padding between the images
-Cleaned up the comments
Of course, all that so that you can have a blank slate to do your own styling!
You can see a preview of what it looks like by following the link in my previous post. A download link is provided on that page
I'm still wide open to feedback so that hopefully this might be considered as a useful basic format and included in the core of indexhibit in future releases (wink wink to Vaska). Don't be afraid to be picky and point out details to polish it.
I also want to give it a more general name. exhibit.horizontal will probably do, but any other - not out-of-space - name suggestions?
exhibit.sushi_now_please.php
in[d]exverticahibit.php? as in ex-vertical... inpired from supercalifragilistic expialidocious (mary poppins)
well done Mr Lafontaine!
I thought crabs were spot-on, as they walk sideways!
exhibit.crabwalk.php
Yeah, I though about crabwalk too... but if you make a quick search you'll also find it's usage in the English slang is far from fitting... Maybe I think too much... crabwalk sounds nice.
hello.
at first thanks a lot for this great clean cms.
and now my problem.
i copied the crab file into the /ndxz-studio/site/plugin folder but i don't see it in the drop down menu. not the slideshow or the thickbox plugins neither.
all the permissions are on 644.
menu looks like that.
the problem sound like thread 1025.
but i can't find a solution. what did i wrong? any idea?
