I haven't seen this done before…

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the process of re-building my portfolio Web site using WordPress, and although I am fairly familiar with the structure of the CMS, there is something I’ve been wondering how to do…

On the portfolio page, I will have thumbnails for each of my projects. When users click on the thumbnail I want to have a div pop up (similar to Lightbox) which will feature images and some information about the actual project.

Now I know I could use a jQuery plugin like Fancybox, but I’m not sure whether this will be enough for what I want to achieve, because I’m talking about having a div pop up with content that I have inserted using a post. Otherwise, I will have a huge php file with all of the hidden pop up divs for each project.

Is there any plugins that make this a little more straight-forward?

My main problem is that there will be quite a few project thumbnails so maybe there is a plugin for wordpress that allows me to style a template and then add each pop up like a post? Custom post-types springs to mind, but I wonder how I can make all of my post-types hidden until triggered by the Fancybox anchor?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks
