Hi,

I am currently working on a site for a Thai Kickboxing academy, I have included sections/pages for Coaches, Fighters & Students. On each of these pages I have an image of the person & a text description using the "Adding a Staff section" tutorial.

What I'd now like to do is to have a gold coloured border around the images of the coaches, a silver coloured border around the images of the fighters & a bronze coloured border around the images of the students. I would like for my client to be able to upload the various images & be able to select which coloured border to apply either with a dropdown or radio button selection method in the admin section.

Does anone have any suggestions on how best to achieve this please?

What I would do is in the Staff Object have a person type property

public static $db = array(
	'Type' => "Enum('none, Coach, Fighter, Student')"
);

function getCMSFields() {
	$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

	$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new DropdownField('Type', 'Type', singleton('PageNameHereLikeStaffPage')->dbObject('Type')->enumValues()));

	return $fields;
}

Then in the template you could have:

<img class="fighterImage $Type" src="$Image.URL" alt="$Title" />

In the css:

img.fighterImage.Coach {
	border: 2px solid #colour;
}
img.fighterImage.Fighter {
	border: 2px solid #colour;
}
img.fighterImage.Student {
	border: 2px solid #colour;
}
