not resolved
Hey
Couldn't really much on this topic after searching the forums.
When I click on page 2 or 3 within a photosmash gallery, it reloads that entire wordpress page, which is a bit of a pain since my photo gallery is all the way at the bottom. So the user has to scroll all the way down each time, which might cause some confusion.
Is it possible to avoid that? Maybe to pre-load all the images at the start so when you click on page 2, only the photosmash gallery itself reloads?
Thank you.
hi pavlovonline - pagination is what it says, where each subset is a different page. but you could use jquery to "paginate", i use a script called galleriffic that does what you are asking.
you could probably also load it in an iframe so only the frame refreshes? byron might have more ideas about that.
hi Elizabeth, thanks for the ideas
I gave gallerific a quick look today. Did it take you a lot of coding to implement it?
iframe sounds like something worth looking into. Not sure how it would be put together. Hoping Byron can chime in.
Hi pavlovonline,
Unfortunately, there isn't anything out of the box that would do what you're looking for with the pagination. But Windupharlequin put together some code that you might be able to adapt (if you have the time and inclination): http://smashly.net/community/topic/improved-gallery-shortcode
His code is around sorting, but he provides a snippet that shows how he would go about retrieving gallery records via Ajax. Search for wp_ajax_get_gallery in that post I linked above. So, I think it's definitely possible to make PhotoSmash do Ajax enabled paging, but it would take some coding to make it happen.

hi pavlovonline - if you're good with jquery and the photosmash layouts it shouldn't take you a ton of time to get it implemented.
I don't have much experience with jquery or Ajax at the moment. I'll keep looking into it. thanks guys
