hi jim how did you resolve the conflict with page by page addon?? thnx
This is a good Addon. However, there is still a flaw in it that I am having serious trouble fixing.
It is now possible to stay with the same category when clicking the Next and Previous buttons, but the viewer still drops out of the category and returns to the normal stream when he simply clicks the picture to go to the next picture in the category.
Does anybody know how to disable advancing by clicking on a picture or does anybody have another suggestion how one can simply advance through a category by clicking on the picture?
Apart from this, it's a good Addon and one PixelPost should include with any new release!
With kind regards, DrCaffeine
I finally got this to work...fantastic!
What I finally had to do was find a template that this worked with..it was the "lightwhitetwo" template. I copy & pasted a part at a time into my template, until I found the parts that worked. It was tedious but not too difficult.
I also had to change a line in my "browse_template.html" file. It was conflicting with another addon..."The Page-By-Page-Archive for category and month".
It took awhile to find all this, but it's worth it to me.
Thanks for the explanations below and for this wonderful addon.
This is great and I got it to work. My previous and next links go to the next image in the category selected perfectly and they cycle through. Wonderful!
However, My image row does not match the category selected. Any suggestions on how to make that happen??
for some reason, the tags that i mentioned are not showing up in my previous review, so i'm going to clarify in this one...
Ok! After hours of trying to figure this addon out, it works! so for those who still can't figure it out (i don't blame you, if it weren't for my husband, i'd still be trying to figure it out!)
i'm going to tell you exactly what to do because this is an awesome addon!!
1. download this latest version to your computer.
2. unzip the files.
3. copy the "advanced_next.php" file to your addon folder.
4. copy the "functions_browse.php" to your includes folder (or if you don't want to overwrite your existing file, you can modify it as it says in the description above).
5. turn the addon "on" in the admin panel.
6. replace the tag "IMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID" in your 'image template' with"IMAGE_PREVIOS_URL_CATEGORY".
7. do the same for the "NEXT".
8. put in the 3 additional new tags in your template where you want to see the name of the category you are browsing and your location in it.
so thanks for the addon, works great, just a bit tricky with the thin instructions.
I don't know, what template you guys are using, but I was able to get this to work like this
replaced the lines
with:
hope it helps

I wasn't able to get this to work. I know a little PHP but apparently not enough, I tried for 2 1/2 hours with no success with the most important part, the addition of the category to URL after first sorting by category on the browse screen and then selecting a thumbnail. It just loads the index page as it normally would as though I never installed or activated the two addons.
What did work were the additions Danny added; the tags for displaying the category, the numbers of images in the category and which one you are viewing, example: image 4 of 7 in category, all worked. These are fantastic additions, but it will be so much better if I could get the "advanced next" part to work. One suggestion I would give to all coders is to include detailed instructions in a text file with the download package, what seems obvious to a coder is not obvious to a photographer with little or no HTML experience. Heck, I consider my self above novice and I couldn't figure it out. I even tried going back to the original version figuring I could always add the Mod if I could get that to work, no luck. Kudos for the good work Danny, but we're not quite there yet, and it may be as simple as instructions that are all that is needed.
Hello, this addon does not work on my blog. Could you tell me, where I have to insert the tags provided with the addon ? Kind regards Franz
Won't work on my webserver. Help?
Works a treat - nice and simple
Great work :)
