prev/next image within category only

[kh0annguyen]

Is there a way to do this? I've used pixelpost to create an art gallery site, not a photoblog. So far it's worked out ok. You can see it at klartgallery.com. I'm trying to find a way to have previous and next links for the images. But rather than traversing through all the images, I'd just like it to only go through the category the user is currently viewing. Thanks!

Pixelpost is not gallery software.

Yes, it is possible.
Try to search for GeoS Show Category Addon.

I've done several photoblogs with pp, so I know it's limitations. Yea, its not a gallery software, but so far it's worked well. I'll look into that GeoS plugin.

Update: I put in the GeoS plugin, and it works great. Have a look at http://klartgallery.com. I think PP works great as a gallery platform, unlike what Dennis said.

Its nice that it suits to your needs ;)

Glad it is working for ya, still, Pixelpost is not Gallery software and the addon was not developed at the time of my writing. :)

Was developed long time ago :P

And I must say that Pixelpost in kh0annguyen's hands looks like gallery :P

I had the "Show Category" addon installed at http://coced.info - now I am experiencing a number of misunderstandings (I can't call these problems):
- in browse_template the tag SC_THUMBNAILS gives only the amount of thumbnails set in options (5, in my case), which is not ok, as I use this amount of thumbnails to suit better my main page, and not the archive. I use the default THUMBNAILS tag, instead, which is quite ok, but, as I understand, may cause certain difficulties - see next
- in browse_template the tag SC_BROWSE_CATEGORY gives an opportunity to select an option from a drop-down list (by the way, is there a tag for ordinary list?), by selecting which I am being redirected to the last image with all other in category (5, sorry) to the main page, while I want to see just a number of thumbnails in the archive page, so the user could choose where to start watching. This might be due to the fact that I used the tags SC_BROWSE_CATEGORY and THUMBNAILS together, instead of the one recommended for the plugin. Is there a solution to the problem?

Inside addon there is configuration variable:
$sc_thumb_num = 5;

saying how many pics should be visible per page :)

Change it to i.e. 10000 and you should see all of them (or at lease 10000 of them) :P

In future Ill move all config settings to the DB. Right now all of them are inside the file at the beginning of it.
I forgot to inform about it at the addon description - that is my mistake :/

[UncleSam]

If I get it right, it will be applied to both instances of THUMBNAILS, while I want that SC_THUMB_ROW gave 5 (as specified in options, or not, no difference) and SC_THUMBNAILS could give all.

Read one more time what I wrote above:
