Project Description on the Post-Nav Area

renno / 2013-01-15 15:30:15   

Dear Indexhibit users,
i was wondering if there is a simple way to make the project description to appear on the Post-Nav area. Currently i am using the columner theme, and the horizontal format. current website: renno.info

i am trying to make a project description a bit like my older indexhibit:
kawazs.com/sired/clean/…
(the "+" button, on the top right corner)...

here is a link for the sketch:
renno.info/…

I just have basic html skills so any help will be apreciatted,
Thanks in advance

Thanks Arsondpi,
it will help for the second part (expanding the info with a click),
first i want to know how to simply put the project info fixed up there (in the post-nav of columner theme)...
I just need to know which part of the code is the project info, and what to do with it.
I am a bit lost with the new sctructure of indexhibit.
Is it inside the horizontal format? or in the index.php?
thanks again

You need to use css to position the button and the text. It comes down to what you want to do'..

Ok,
but i mean i am looking for the code to automatically imput the description on the post nav. using firebug i found this about the text area:


but i am not sure where is this "textor", and if i can put it in the post-nav in a way that it understand that my project description will always appear on there...
Sorry if i am not being very clear, i am bit stupid with code to explain it clearly...
Thanks for the feedback

  1. Oh oh, 
  2. the code did not show,
  3. <div id="img-container">
  4. <div class="textor" style="float: left; width: 200px;">
  5. <p>blabablalablsbdalbsldbal babds,nasnmd b;a;ksd</p>
  6. </div>

textor is a div that wraps the text and does not apply for all formats.
Basically you need to edit the plugin that you're using and add/edit it, to wrap the text in a div.

By plugin you mean the format, theme or a specific plugin?
Thanks

sorry, the format that you're using.

Great!
Ok so I create a new div, that i put outside of the text area of all the formats? (or inside?)
In case of the horizontal, do i keep the "textor"? or just rename it to something else to match all formats? (I think i'll only use horizontal and visual index by the way)
...
And in the post-nav, i use some sort of php stuff to call this content to appear?
Thank you very much

you need to edit all the formats that you're using and have the content of your text area wrapped into a div. It would be wise to call it's id/class the same so you'll need to play around with just one css selector. If you go through the link I posted above, you'll notice that javascript is needed to make the text toggle...

Ok, i think i got it, it will take a while but i hope i can do that...
The toggle effect i was able to do that using firebug, but at the same time the text pull the entire webpage down, and don't flow above the content as suppose to do... i tried to define the position as fixed but didn't worked out... maybe i am missing something...
Thanks for all the responses and patience
