Hi,
Fairly new to Drupal, however I have a site up and have been playing with the image module, img_asst, products etc, a freshly coloured version of marinee theme, added galleries/items, made changes to the theme, written an interface to eWay for payment processing - first go at Drupal with an ecommerce site.
I have a set of image galleries - some are just images (samples) and other galleries are products.
I wish to display a set of thumbnails representing the samples, which I have set up now. When you select a thumbnail, I want that image to display by default - which it does now. However, I also want to have an associated image, which I would link to with a tab from the main image. (I'd actually prefer the tab to be part of the image tabs which display above the image when you have editing permissions - but that's another issue)
The idea is to have the main image display by default, but then be able to toggle between the default and associated image. Possibly even have more than 2 images and be able to cycle through them. I do not want to display another set of thumbnails on this page though - just one fullsize image at a time and toggle between the different images.
Now how should I be thinking about this? Is this a parent/child/sibling thing? Should I be looking at the image module itself and making mods to add an associated image, or is it simply the presentation layer and should I be looking at the page/node display itself (theme??) or a completely new display module? Note that I have been using image.module to upload the images and each image is it's own node - is this always the case, or is there another approach?
