dear digital natives,
so I've mastered the "upload background image" as my home/main exhibit.
but what method do I use to get at a grid of images that link to projects?
(like it's done here stefancoisson.com)
appreciate any insight so much

Will this post help?

oh wow!
did as you said and the first pictures of sections lined up in the editor, all fine.
however, when i preview, nothing's there on the main page.
this happened before each time I try doing something else than 'upload background image'
why's that?
I can only guess what you may mean- what is your sites.url address ?
linakruopyte.com
Still trying. Everything's fine in editor, but for some reason the page appears just empty when previewing or visiting page. Will be looking fwd to answer; thanks for help.
The home section is your home page (check Page options>main page - is it set to On?)
Also is Publish set to On?
yes, main page>on and publish>on,
still nothing..
Did you appoint another exhibit to be your 'home' page? Check your main page - page options - and click on the make index page button. Then, does it work?
I don't think I'm fully understanding the problem here yet...
Your site looks great by the way...
Very glad to hear:]
Problem still there, and there aren't that many places to do smth wrong, so I am really confused. Attaching screenshots..

THANK U
1. Change the media source back to exhibit
2. Upload an image to the exhibit
Does it appear on the index page now?
yes, then it works. (on now)
it's the only way I can get any image up on the homepage.
would really like the visual index thumbs tho.
But I now see the exact same thing on your home page that I saw before.
Something is not adding up here...
it hurts that others get to have thumbs/visual index as home page, but not me.
changing background color works too.
could it be that the background color ends up on top of my exhibit, covering it up?
There is no reason why it's not working - something isn't set right.
Try enabling it now that we see that the exhibit media source worked...
No not really.
1. media source aka exhibit / all / section: none of these show up.
2. Upload background image or Background color function at Pages Options - shows up.
How can they not show up? If they don't show up it means it's not a section page - and more specifically not the main page.
When you are editing the main page, what is the full url? Paste it here...
doesn't paste.. do you log in ever for others?
how can this not be working? i'm mystified by this...the only other explanation is that you have a system file that was not fully uploaded. like the /ndxzstudio/lib/filesourcesection.php file.
Lina, yes, I will take a look at this tomorrow (I think it's probably late for you right now too).
But, I'm finding something really strange - I can't explain this. On your 'main' page the body tag looks like this:
<body id='exhibit-1' class='section-1'>While on any other page you will see something like this:
<body class='exhibits section-1 exhibit-70 format-horizontal'>It's like you are using the wrong template for the main? Are you using "index.php" or something you created yourself?
It should be reporting the "format-$exhibit_format" in the body tag. This, is really strange...
