Home page layout, images over images.
Permalink
Hi team. Our graphic designers for the home page were briefed by us that we (ecommerce website owner) needed to be able to have a central photo image on our home page that we at our discretion can change out or have it cycling to other images in our library.
Over that would be an insert of another smaller image or product shot that would behave in the same manner, akin to placing a small photo onto a bigger photo and having total control over both images.
The graphic company recommended using C5 and being a CMS dummy but a very astute company director I am doing my homework. This has revealed that this relativley simple request is not possible using C5.
I am under the impression now that only the entire shot can be changed (as a montage)and not individually, is this the case?????

Thanks for the feedback. I would be interested in a solution to this. Any takers?
I have createdhttp://www.fashion-styling.nl . At that website my client can exchange the backgroud image himself, is that what you are looking for?

what you're basically talking about is two slideshow blocks on top of each other. The challenge is the stacking order or z-index of these individual elements will typically get in the way of each other.. if the background animation changes frame, it might overlap the foreground one.. etc.
that being said, this is certainly something that could be made as a custom block if it was well defined.
