Hello all,
I'm looking for a module to achieve the type gallery in the image at the following link.

http://instrumenttraining.com/Gallery.jpg

It's really simple, click smaller image and it's displayed as large image on the left. I just started using DNN a few months back and this is something I would've done with c#, sql and jquery. I'm not sure yet how to build this funtionality into a DNN module and hope to save some time for the project I'm currently working on. I'm going to start the module course on this site Monday, I'm sure I will be back with questions.

Thanks in advance
Everett

One way of doing this would be to use the Reports module (perhaps with one of the visualizers) to create the block of HTML that can then be used with jQuery or jQueryUI to produce the effects.

There are some good gallery modules available -- you might want to look at Lightbox Gallery Module for DotNetNuke located at wnslightbox.codeplex.com. Even if it doesn't give you exactly what you need, you may get some ideas.

But, if you know how to do this with SQL and jQuery, it should be a "snap" and you probably don't have to create a module. The big advantage of a module might be the image data entry and organization, rather than the display.

Ask more questions if you need them, and be sure to let me know what you end up doing.
