[GeoS+]

Sorry, you have right - its a bug.

History 1.5.1:
1. fix SQL query for categories dropdown list which now does not give option to go to image which is not public available (thx RobbieMc)

first of all...great addon. It was exactly what I was looking for in regard to browsing within catagories.

Is there any way to create a thumbnail row underneath the main image view that only contains images from the selected catagory? Whenever I select a catagory and specific image, the same thumbnails (in date order) come up in the thumbnail row...displaying images that aren't in the catagory selected. I can get the next and previous buttons to work within the catagory, but the thumbnails confuse the viewer. Didn't know if I was missing something, or if this could be a future revision.

thanks!!!

Geos...thanks so much for attacking this feature...I think it's a great addon for a great piece of software

Though I can usually muddle through impementing such things I'm having a little trouble with something

I know how and where to add the tags...no problem

but how do I

"add extra variable to standard URL - category=CAT_ID." as instructed?

where would this be "added"? I assume it would go in a template...but I really haven't a clue.

Thanks in advance.

@optishin: I forgot about this. It was a part of version 1.4 and when I was making addon more simple I erased it.
Ill try to add it in next revision, 1.6, maybe at weekend.

@pagingdave: It depends from what you want to link as catogorized.
There are ready to use tags for previous and next image which works fine even if there is no category selected. Please check i.e. <SC_IMAGE_PREVIOUS_LINK_TXT> and <SC_IMAGE_NEXT_LINK_TXT>.

Thanks Geos...I'll experiment with those tags...

If you would get any problems then just PM me. Ill try to help you. In next version Ill attache some small howto.

I guess I should be more explicit with what I need to do.

What I'd like is:

1) From the standard browse template a person selects a category from the dropdown menu which takes them to that categories group of thumbnails (normal function of PP)

2) The person selects a thumbnail they like which takes them to the large image (again already a normal function of PP)

3) If they click that large picture, it goes to the next image within that category, and the next image does the same, until they are at the end of that category. (this I have no idea how to do)

4) The same behaviour for all categories except "ALL" If they select "ALL", then PP functions normally.

I'd really prefer to use the dropdown menu rather than text.

Am I dreaming...or just out of my league?

Its done already.

1) Set $cat_form variable to 1 in addon configuration section and then use <SC_BROWSE_CATEGORY> tag for it in template.

2) Here you should use <SC_IMAGE_PREVIOUS_LINK> tag in image_template.html as link under large image (put this tag before <img ...> tag).

3) Set $sc_round variable to 1 in addon configuration section.

PS Really use PM for problems. Im going to work on addon right now and then lear a little before tomorrows exam. Only PM will bring me back to this today :P
