Hi all,

Just finished my first Drupal page: website for a church in the area (pro bono; wanted the experience). Now looking to upgrade my own website.

I've got my heart set on a site similar to this website, with my main focus on the continuous and scrollable content area containing the portfolio.

I've sourced the JS and JQuery code to handle both the swiping and the mousescroll/vertical swiping. What I've been searching for (and not finding) is how to set the main content area in Drupal to extend past the block area defined by the Drupal theme template. Do I use div's? Views? I thought a Views block of Grid fields would work, if I turned off "FIll up single line" in the Grid options, but not so. I've experimented with many options, to no avail, and it's not something I've seen addressed in any forum here or elsewhere.

Anyone have any suggestions? Greatly appreciated!

No suggestions, anyone? I'd really like to set this site in Drupal, but this is kinda a deal-breaker... any info is welcome!

I am also researching how to do the same thing. Post back if you find anything. I am expecting to have to build my own theme from scratch and i am expecting to have to do dynamic loading via ajax of the content that is 'close' in context. We will see...

Which Drupal theme template are you using? If you create your own template file, you should be able to render your content in whatever div you want to use? You might look at how your inspiration website structures its content and then adjust your page.tpl.php to mimic that structure.
