I have an unusual request. I have been setting up a form for a class library checkout system. I have managed to create a library of books by creating an article in joomla for each book, then loading my book checkout form into each article. I have a database set up to record the data so that the teacher will know which student has which book and when it is due. I have a dilemma though. The teacher wants to be able to have an image replace the book cover that reads "CHECKOUT OUT" once the form is submitted. Is this possible? Would it be a matter of running a custom php script? If so, how would I write it?
Any help you could lend me would be greatly appreciated.
I really love this component. It has made me be able to do what my friend wanted to do on her site. She has searched literally for months over the internet for an online checkout system, but hasn't been able to find one. With joomla and the help of chronoforms, I am able to provide her want she needs🙂

Hi deezgrafix,

If you use PHP to add an extra class to the image tags for the checked out books you can probably apply a transparent overlay with CSS. I Googled and found a few tutorials. Here's one that's short and to the point http://web.enavu.com/tutorials/making-image-overlay-caption-using-css/
