DividerThumbnails

The unique feature of the DividerThumbnails is that they will display a photo from their target pages, as well as the more typical page name. Also, the DividerThumbnails are slightly different from the regular Dividers in that they will display the "Teaser" element from the target pages, rather than the RolloverText. This was done for the Panoramic Tour and the Presidents of Bates pages, where we wanted to put more punchy information in the Teaser and more contextual information in the RolloverText.

 

The target pages (which are being pointed to) can be of any page type, but must include the following fields:
Teaser Brief explanatory or subhead information
File Contains a thumbnail photo of 80px wide and 80 or 100 pixels tall

 

Divider-Thumbnails.xsl

Can have two, four, or 6-columns. The target pages can be their own children; at the children of some other page; or at a Link Group of assorted pages. The thumbnail images of the children should measure 80px wide by 80 or 100 px tall. The thumbnails exist on the target pages as the element "File" and the text element is named "Teaser"
