Fancy Archive v1.1 Released

[ibejo]

Thanks for the comments and being my beta testers...this one should have a lot more functionality and flexibility.

DESCRIPTION:
This is an archive styled on Chromasia.
Images can be filtered by Category, Date and limited to All, 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 images displayed.
This archive includes a host of filters and paging.

This addon uses the following custom tags:
<CAT_COUNTS> - Category filter - displays all categories and the number of images for each.
<DATE_COUNTS> - Month/Year Filter. (June 2005 - 30) June 2005 has 30 images
<LIMIT_COUNTS> - Filter to limit the number of images displayed.
<IMAGE_RESULTS> - Displays the pictures based upon the selected filters.
<PAGING_NAV> - Displays the fancy archive navigation / paging tags.
<FANCY_IMAGE_CATEGORY> - This tag needs to replace the <IMAGE_CATEGORY> tag in your image_template.html page. It ensures your category links point to the new fancy archive page.

The following variables can be modified within the addon script to change the display behavior:
two_column_dispay: true = 2 column layout, false = single column layout
tbl_width: width of the table that displays results (in pixels)
default_limit: By default, show X images per page - MUST be (10,20,30,40 or 50)
NOTE: the large the number, the longer the load time per page.

nav_tag: Style of the Navigation Tags: 1 = [Next] [Prev], 2 = (Next) (Prev), 3 = Next | Previous, anything else = Next Prev
pic_col_width: Width of Thumbnail column as percent of total table width
cell_spacing: Cell Spacing in the Display Table
cell_padding: Cell Padding in the Display Table

v1.1 Change Log
1. Added paging, including <PAGING_NAV> tag.
2. Fixed bug with categories on image_template.html not going to fancyarchive_template. Introduced
new tag for this - <FANCY_IMAGE_CATEGORY>
3. Added slew of new layout variables, making it easier to control the display of fancy archive.
4. I *think* I fixed the bug related to the category drop down not populating - this way because
some users had older version of MySQL which did not support the latest ANSI SQL JOIN syntax.
5. Fixed a couple bugs with the filters not retaining their values between posts.
6. Will not display future postings until right date - NOTE: I did not deal with hours, minute and seconds.

Make sure you read the README.TXT file to see what you need to do to upgrade!!!!

I noticed none of the exif data exists for your pics - do you have exif installed?

My category drop-down boxes are loading now, but when I try to select a category to view photos, none are returned.

It works by month, but not by category, and not combined.

Having problems with the end of the page, any idea ? I probed a lot of things

no, after postprocessing there are no exif data for my pics. is exif required to run your addon smoothly?

why fighting with div's here, actually? in this case, a simple table design maybe would do it better...

I do a lot of stuff processing each image for exif data - I'll add a variable to it that allows you to toggle this on/off. Give me a day or so. There are some other things that need fixing and I'll bundle it all together.
