I heard about this site David, but this is the first time I checked it out! Awesome!
If I remember correctly, back at that time, you spent a lot of time helping me on pesky little css troubleshooting. You must be like superman in that joomla backend...Just sayin'

David, YOU ROCK !! Although my response is late, I was EXACTLY TODAY looking for this tutorial for a client of mine. He spotted the Contrast Design site and fainted..... (and gave me the order
).
Two little questions: is this feasible in 1.7 and can it be done with Momentum? Thanks again! - Does PHP stand for: Permanent Headache Provided -or- Psychiatric Health Problem ?
PHP (5.3.13) Joomla (3.3.x)

I can see no reason why it couldn't be done with momentum.
It was quite a task to meet client specifications as they were quite demanding. But it was an enjoyable challenge, especially as many clients start out with almost no idea of what they want, and this one was specific down to the last pixel in some areas!
Hope this helps

David, Thank you for answering. Hopefully you'll find a sec to answer a few more:
The only way we could make this work without a whole lot of major work was to utilise two copies of the Zephyr template - one for the default and the other for the Home page and future landing pages.
Is this the reason why most (all?) new RT 1.7 templates consist of two parts? I am already on track with getting flash over flash, html over flash and flash over html over flash. Am I on the right track with that?
Could you lift the blanket a little more and let me take a peek on the used technique to save me a headache or two?.

Hi Hans,
Contrast site is in J1.5. Joomla 1.7 does not have the ability to use the per-page-options from Gantry so we have to resort to multiple instances when we want to have different set ups with J1.7.
What we did with the contrast site was to move module positions around using css and negative margins to allow us to add the video as a simple piece of flash code in a standard custom html module.
This enables the client to change the video simply by opening the module and changing the file name.The module was published to showcase position.<p> <object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,32,18" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="620" width="992" style="margin-top: 50px;"> <param name="src" value="images/stories/videos/landingform.swf" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="name" value="landingform.swf" /><embed height="620" width="992" name="landingform.swf" wmode="transparent" src="images/stories/videos/landingform.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> </object> </p>
Here is the css I used to move the showcase content...#rt-showcase .module-content { margin-left: -10px; margin-top: -145px; }
Hope this helps
