On the chance I could learn a bit more about the template features I haven't used before, I downloaded the quickstart package and uploaded it to an unused domain and dug into the backend, and what I wanted to achieve actually turned out to be quite simple, so a bit red in the face about having asked the question in the first place.
Anyway thanks for your offer to help, even though in the end I didn't need it, it was much appreciated
Cheers
