Image block like Vancouver Aquarium
Permalink
Hello,
I need to develop an image block that is similar to the one seen on this site:
http://www.blancharddesign.ca/portfolio.html...
Basically each page at the bottom has a large image on the left and up to 3 small thumbnails on the right. Clicking the thumbnails updates the large image. (This site will be redone with a jQuery solution).
Currently all of the gallery plugins seem to use lightboxes when the user clicks on an image. Instead I need the gallery to update the large image when someone clicks a thumbnail. I'm wondering if it's easier for me to purchase and modify the gallery plugin available here:
http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/gallery/...
Or if it's something I need to build myself. I'm comfortable with PHP, CSS, JavaScript etc... but this is my first C5 site so any insight into the best route is appreciated.

Or check out these Add-Ons that might be everything you need (or at least a leg-up starting point if they're not and you don't feel comfortable starting closer to "scratch" like with Jordan's Designer Gallery block):
Galleria Image Gallery (Free):http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/galleria_image_gallery/...

The same gallery is an add on called the featured image slider right here. Its an exact match.

It also has optional text boxes, and themes, for easy customization.
Check the live demo.

I think you should be able to roll your own solution for this. I just did something similar for a client site (see here: http://tinyurl.com/bqs9tzh ). I used Jordan Lev's Designer Gallery block that you can get and read about here:https://github.com/jordanlev/c5_designer_gallery...
For the gallery itself, I used the jQuery Galleriffic plugin: http://www.twospy.com/galleriffic/...
Worked like a charm. Jordan's block code made it so the user-interface is just a File Set selector... then the images for the set are managed via the File Manager (upload and add files to the set) and the File Sets interface (re-arrange the order of images in the set).
If you've got any experience with jQuery gallery plugins, you should be able to put this together pretty easily.
Hope that helps!
