Indexhibit^TM
Index + Exhibit

I've achieved quite a bit for my homepage style-wise following these forums:

www.davidnebert.com:
David Nebert Photography + Design

However, I've never created a website before and have a few very basic questions. Many should be able to be answered simply by other users...

I'm confused how the navigation works from the main page and whether I need to create separate .php files for each section. I've read the tutorials and the help section but it remains unclear to me still. (I also read on an outside forum that the structure is different than a typical website when utilizing indexhibit.) Maybe I'm missing the obvious?

As an example: I have a "macro" section in the menu. Do I make a macro.php file with the specific header title ("...Photography : Macro"), etc and place it next to my root index.php file? If so, how do I link to it? If not, how is navigation achieved if I desire to change the style a little, different background, etc. while still keeping the menu and logo in place?

My current links go nowhere. I've tried publishing the "macro" section through ndxz-studio, though this leaves me with the images I uploaded and the same random full-screen background.

Me too in the beginning. Nice way your menu works by the way.

I think it's a closed structure people can ad or modify stuff.

And what you know, or you "take" from others" or go deep in the underworld of php.

But yes, Kind of hard to understand where is the index or which one is. And all information where is it published? and how to change things in PHP.

Lucky that there are some cool boys and girls around here adding and customizing and sharing.
Life could be easier

The menu/index works as a plugin -it's in the index.php file in the plugin folder.
There's two ways to show things as you know - chronological and sectional.

You can tinker the looks of each section with css - either by affecting the body.section-X where X is the number of your section.

Check this and this thread.

thanks and thanks again.

I think I have an understanding now! I'll post the completed site when I've finished..

Hmmn, Deusexmachina, your 'mouseover auto expand' menu seems to be like a roller coaster, up and down. Kinda of difficult to navigate.

Yeah, it sometimes gets stuck... not sure how to fix that so it runs smoother.

Could someone look at my code and tell me what I might be doing wrong?
I have a basic idea of what could be wrong, though perhaps someone could be of help.

Whenever I try to publish a different section and navigate to that section, the random full background image stays for that section as well as the main page, though I wish to only have a simple black background for those sections. The only aspect of the main page I'd like to have constant for all sections are the menu and the logo at the top.

I'll be a wiz at this eventually... there are only a few concepts which still elude me. Thanks for the help so far.

Nevermind that. I figured it out. I was essentially overcomplicating things. Thanks for the help you all have provided!
