    Hi all,

    Another Modx powered site. http://www.davidgold.co.uk. This site was designed by me and the HTML production kickstarted by Zi.

    The site was produced in under 5 days with over 45 pages of content to support a book launch.

    Positive feedback appreciated.

          Hi demwunz,

          Great site! I just love it - nice, clean layout with a good selection of content and images. Well done to you and Zi for getting this rolling in 5 days, not a small feat at all.

          Just one small thing I noticed is that the header on the ’Flying’ page doesn’t match the first sentence on the page - ’David had been a fixed wing pilot for 25 years ...’ - it says 35 years in the main text.

          Congrats,

          Garry

              Thanks for the feedback Garry,

              The site actually went up in 48 hours, but I was uncomfortable with the initial design so I scrapped it and did this one. Due to the tight deadline, I had to knock a design together sharpish. In an ideal world this would work a lot differently with moo.fx and so forth.

                Nice site. I love the clean, clear look.

                Question: What did you do to have a different header image for each page? Was this a certain TV? (I just can’t understand them yet).

                Congrats,

                  Hi there chuck,

                  thanks for the comments smiley

                  Quite simple really, I put a TV in a tag like so:

                  <div id="header"><img src="assets/images/headers/[*SectionType*].jpg" /></div>
                  


                  and then in the manager manually type in "business" "golf" etc. into the section header field when creating a page
                  - ideally i would have a dropdown list to choose a section from, but i dont know how to do that undecided

                  suggestions anyone?

                  to keep my html lean - ideally i would do it this way:

                  <body class="[*SectionType*]">
                  <div id="header"></div>


                  and simply write rules in the css like so:

                  #header{
                  height:100px
                  width:760px
                  }
                  .business #header   {
                  background: (assets/images/headers/business.jpg) top left;
                  }
                  

                  etc...

                  and again have a dropdown list type thing to choose my section type from when creating pages...

                  hope that helped...

                    Thanks for the update. The TV’s look like a really wonderful resource once you get the hang of them. I have heard of a website that used 80 of them... I would like to know what all they used them for.

                    Thanks for your update.
