I'm not sure if such modules exist...

... or if I can adapt an existing module to serve this purpose.

I'm working on a website for my volunteer fire company, and I'm trying to find a way to put a "number of fire calls" and "number of EMS calls" directly below the navigation menu.

I'm trying to come up with something that doesn't require the users to modify the template every time a call comes in, but rather just update something in the admin interface.

If you'd like to see the work in progress:

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello,

you can work with multiple blocks.

http://help.websitebaker.org/pages/en/advanced-docu/designer-guide/content-blocks.php

and also search the forum for "same content on all pages" or similar.

Basically the idea is to add a second content area in the side bar of your template wich is editable from your WB-backend like all other pages.

Santiagon,
I took a look at your website to see what it looks like.
I went into the Green Street gallery, and your images are way too big for what you display.
You show a main picture and three thumbnails. The main picture is displayed at 400x300 pixels and 2,066,429 bytes. You should be able to get this to like 20,000 bytes or less, yes, one-hundreth the file size. Pictures need to be reduced in pixel dimensions as well as file size, after coming out of the camera.

You shoud do this for two reasons:
1. You are forcing users to download large files. It takes a while and they might not want to wait. i had to wait and I have a very fast internet connection.
2. You are eating up your bandwidth. Your web host offers you a certain amount of bytes downloaded per month. If you exceed this, then your site will either go down or you will get a bill, possibly a large one from your host. Depends on what the details of your agreement is with them.

HTH,
Roger

Hi,

and the third reason is, that the quality of the pics will be better than the quality of the scaled(in WB) images.

Agreed with all. Those were just slapped up there to show the members as an example.

Thanks for the suggestions; they seem to love the site already!
