Hi Folks
All I'm trying to do is give the client (an artist), when editing his site,
the choice of selecting the status of each of his images: 'POA', 'NFS' or 'SOLD'
Those three options should read on the front end as:
POA: "POA"
NFS: "NFS"
SOLD: a red dot
Obviously the first two are very simple, but it's incorporating the third option: the red dot,
that's giving me the pain.
I have tried all ways to achieve this...
By simply using the HTML characters like
$bullet (ampersandbullet)
results in a right headache with my css and layout.
Therefore I was trying to incorporate both straightforward text for the first two, POA and NFS (probably via css),
and the third (red dot) by way of either:
1. An icon tag i.e.
2. Some styling i.e.
.sold:after {content: ""...followed by a css-generated red circle)
3. Adding a small svg file
I have tried...
Setting a small style block in the head which calls the tv (or at least that's what I'm attempting)
i.e.
.poa::after,
.nfs::after,
.sold::after {content:"[[!*image-status]]";}
(those options being called from '*image-status' would obviously be css styles)
I have tried...
Hard coding the css into the 'Input Option Values' field of a TV
I have tried...
Creating three individual chunks, one for each status,
and then, from '*image-status' calling them via the 'Input Option Values' field using the @CHUNK binding
Is it even possible to call other TV's from this field? i.e.
'*image-status' > 'Input Option Values': POA==*status_poa||NFS==*status_nfs||SOLD==*status_sold
Is it possible to mix the TV types, say within an overall MIGX setup?
I've tried so many combinations that I've wandered off the beaten track and now I'm lost and it's getting dark!
If anyone could bring a torch (flashlight) and a fresh eye and perhaps suggest a simple way forward here,
I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks
Chris
