the display is really awesome

plg noticed a bug :
http://piwigo.us/beta/trunk/picture.php?/27/category/5
the navigation thumbnails are empty, but there are 6 images in the album "food"
that's because you always clear variables in Fotorama_end_page_header even if we are not in slideshow view


and I would suggest some improvements :

- don't compute all images URL, in loc_end_picture, if we are in a category with thousands images it will be very expensive (in PHP and network transfer)

instead, you can make AJAX request on the API which will returns you the URL of the next image (and other info, see bellow)
this way you only transmit an array on ids to your javascript, thus tremendously reduce the size of the transferred HTML

- update the page title and window title (using data returned by the API)

- update the image counter (easy one)

- use the browser history API in order to change the current URL and push states to the browser history, allowing a user the get the actual URL for the current picture and navigates with the "Back" button

basically I would write my own controller which performs timing, AJAX requests, title updates, history updates, etc.
and use the Fotorama API for main display

Thanks for reply!

Clearing variables in Fotorama_end_page_header will be fixed immediately. I was really wondered that navigation thumbnails are empty (and it give a some other trubles).

Other improvements also in my plans, but I'm don't know PHP and will be happy if you guys help me or implement something like that in the core.

Hi,

interessant thread !
i am trying to make a similar plugin but starting from scratch in jquery.
when i was making some tests, i saw that a big number of pictures in an album could be a problem as most of this kind of jquery plugins are working with a list of urls in html codes.
With piwigo, it's easy to get all ids of the pictures album then get what you want with id.
Mistic, you said :"you can make AJAX request on the API which will returns you the URL of the next image"
Can you explain a little bit more ?

I wonder if it is possible to make an array in jquery with this structure :
index 1 -> picture id -> picture url ->picture page ->current rank
index 2 -> picture id -> picture url ->picture page ->next rank

when displaying slideshow, starting from index1, we're showing picture, on click, we're going to picture page, if we don't click, we're calling infos for index 2, next rank becomes current rank etc

@+ ;)

ok thank you.

i will test this method.

Hello Janis !

Your plug-in is just awesome !

I've got a suggestion :
Would it be possible to add meta data (at least "title") in a box somewhere ?

Thanks
