Completing a project

We completed work on the OTB site yesterday. For this site, as I mentioned in a previous post, we were switching from one template to another. Many of the features in the new template weren't present in the old template, and vice versa, so that got quite confusing at times, but it just involved a lot of figuring out and a little bit of thinking outside the box (hahaha get it...?). Here is the finished site:

The frontpage slideshow was very unusual - there's a built-in slideshow in the VirtueMart Metro template, and to activate it, you have to create custom modules for all of the different images you want. In the custom module, you enter the text you want to appear as a caption, and you name the module after the image, eg. Module Name = slide-1.jpg. This was not in the documentation for the template - the publishers had a detailed set of instructions that were actually incorrect, so we had to experiment with it and eventually we figured it out. We had some other issues with the collapsible nature of the template; for some modules, the default setting is collapsed, meaning you can't see all of the content in that module until you click it. This is probably useful for some clients, but our client did not want that, as it obscured some important content. Unfortunately we haven't quite figured that out yet either so we're waiting on advice from the publishers. My guess is that we need to write some PHP for it (based on some information I found online) but I'm not sure as yet. We'll see!
