Ok, so www.gapstudentsonline.com is coming on well! - apart from that f***king virus! - excuse my french!
So now's it's all hunky dory, just slowly adding back to it, to make it EVEN better! - did an amazing thing today with the image gallery.
I used a normal '4images' image gallery into my Joomla! website. However, no bridge, and I don't know quite enough to do it myself. so I just added it in seperately as a pop-up.
However, then I realised that there was the login kerfuffel on the 4images page, so I thought, "right lets get rid of that", so I imported my 4images directory into dreamweaver, and then went about editing every page in the template file. (no small job)! I went that little be further, by deleting and changing things that I didn't need, just to make it look that little bit better, and that little bit more mine.
Now if you're wondering 'are you allowed to do this fred' ... Yes I am because the software, and the documents with it are released under the GPL GNU license, which means I can edit and change them to my hearts content, as long as I don't try and sell it on at any time.
I then thought, "I want a random image from the gallery to show on the pages of my Joomla! site." after thinking long and hard as to how to do this, I eventually found that the easiest way was to make a custom module, and import the 'random_image' template file in as an <iframe> - no scrolls no frame border, and the thumbnail will open in a new window using javascript. pretty cool, feel free to check it out! - http://www.gapstudentsonline.com
