Hi I need to make a similar website found at the link above. From what I can see it has a full page carousel with a video playing on one of the panels. Also, the carousel action changes the color of the menu text and header logo.

Would it be possible to do this with GP, if so, what else would I need to implement this?

Many thanks

Hi there,

A site like that will definitely take some custom coding.

For the first section with the full-screen carousel and transparent header/navigation, you can do something similar with the header element module:

Which has a full-screen option:

and allow background video:

Couple suggestions here for full page scroll feature:

Let me know if this helps :)

Hey Leo, it's awesome that you replied so quickly, many thanks.

I will look in to your suggestions and links which sound promising, and I will get back.

Many thanks

No problem :)

Hi Leo,

Just a follow up on your suggested solutions for my original post, which have been great, I'm almost there.

I have managed to make a full page video hero using the header Element with a merged and sticky nav. I have also made a section that has the same height as the browser view with a background image and an id for smooth scrolling. The problem I am getting now is that the section does not scroll up to the very top of the browser view, behind the logo and navigation links. Is there anyway I can do this?

Many thanks for all the support.

Hi there,

I can't see the anchor link with the smooth scroll, can you point me to that page?

Hi David,

Thank you for responding today. I'm sorry, I did not post an anchor link, above, as I am working locally. The smooth scrolling works, but stops short at just under the header logo and menu.

I will sort out some screen grabs tomorrow or on Tuesday.

Many thanks

hard for me to say without seeing the site.
So screenshots would be handy. Let me know.
