Image Rollovers and CMS

Hi everyone, I have a question about a particular page in a site I'm developing. See the image below to help understand what I'm trying to do.

1. Original state is a face in a circle. On mouse-over I would like it to change to the red dot w/name.
2. When clicked, I would like the face to show up in the large red circle to the right. Would also like the red dot w/name to stay active over the face that was clicked.
3. I would like to implement a CMS to enable the client to update/edit the page with new pictures and names while preserving the above functionality for each new image.

If I had to do any of these things separately, I'd be reasonably cool with it, but I don't know of a way to do all 3. I'm thinking AJAX may need to be involved. Does anyone know of a solution that would solve all 3 of my problems?




Thanks!

I'll move this to the JS forum as I'm thinking AJAX as well but I don't know anything about it ... we have a few JS/Ajax peeps on here so ... I'll let them help you.

Thanks Karinne.

OK, you'll have to separate this project into two parts:
1) the mouseovers / clicks / image changes. This part shouldn't be that hard. Just google for "javascript mouseover image changes." There are hundreds of tutorials out there...

2) the CMS. This will be a bit more complicated. You're going to need to use a server-side language like ASP of PHP and you'll also probably need a database. I'd suggest opening a new thread in the ASP or PHP forum if you have more questions about this aspect.

Good Luck, feel free to keep askin' and we'll do our best to help out...

Thanks c010depunkk. I'm comfortable with part 1 (JS mouseovers, etc.). For part 2 (CMS), in your opinion, is there an open source CMS that would work well for that, or will it be easier/better to do a custom PHP/database solution?

If you just want to add the "add new image" "remove image" funtions, i would do a little admin script by myself. The normal CMS System are always complete website solutions, so you need to implement the whole site into the CMS.

An alternative would be a simple gallery script, which will add the complete gallery funtionality to the website, including administration. c010depunkk has used one of these lately, maybe he can post it here? ^^

There's plenty of free CMS's: Wordpress, Joomla, Typo3.... just google.

Nope, sorry. I coded a mod for ESPG 2.0 so that it's file structure based, but with DB description support, but at the moment it's one huge construction site....

I know of several full featured CMSs - Joomla, etc. I guess I'm asking if anyone knows of a simple CMS that I could implement for this task.

Textpattern is pretty simple and easy to integrate.
There's also Wordpress which is more of a blogging tool.
