Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Hi,

I would like to add an additional navigation feature, on the top of each album page, to be able to select the 'Next' Album, or the Previous Album. This would make it much easier to swiftly browse through a large set of albums.

Without this feature, you need to go up one level to view the parent album, and then go down and select the child album. And then up again to go down.... So to speak.

I understand this can be done with a Template, and I have found  the place in Index.tpl (using the default theme) where the code should be added. But I am unaware of how to retrieve the information on which albums is the previous/next, based on the album I am currently viewing.

Attached is a mock-up screenshot on how I want the navigation to work.

"Prev" should be a link to " /Blomgren / 1997"
"Next" should be a link to " /Blomgren / 1999 "

Any pointers on how to get this info would be greatly appreciated!

~Mike

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Done. Mantis 2812.

All I need is the SQL or pwg_function to retrieve the Next/Previous Album (using the current Sort Order of couse). Once done, I can probably figure out how to implement it in the index.tpl.

Thanks,

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

I coded it as a plugin. With the help of the skeleton plugin, I figured out a way to solve it without modifying the templates.

Hi

Can you (or someone) fix it for 2.8?

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type PwgError as array in /home/gallery/plugins/prevnext/include/public_events.inc.php:41 Stack trace: #0 /home/gallery/include/functions_plugins.inc.php(279): prevnext_add_button() #1 /home/gallery/index.php(364): trigger_notify('loc_end_index') #2 {main} thrown in /home/gallery/plugins/prevnext/include/public_events.inc.php on line 41

I saw the error too after upgrading. I will attempt a fix, but if anyone has an idea on what changed between 2.7 and 2.8 - pls let me know.

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Fixed the issue, so it's now compatible with 2.8.

Removed extraneous files.

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Hi miblo69,

I was interested in this previous/next tool too.
So i have installed the plugin you made. Thanks for it!

But i'm a french user.
So I add multilingual support (english and french).

If you are interested about this improvement of your code, I can transmit you the files.

Note : it seems that many code lines and files are unused in your plugin. I think a big clean up of the code would be really opportune...

Cheers

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Hello I tried the extension with the latest version of Piwigo 2.10.2 with the default theme. But i couldn't get it working.  Does it work with the current version and standard template. If so what do i need to do?

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Hi,

Wow, I am surprised yet pleased that  there still is an interest in this Plugin :)

I haven't updated it in years, and I use it with the 'elegant' theme where it works well in 2.10.2.

For other themes, I don't know. And I don't really have the time/knowledge/know-how to quickly have a look and change the code, if needed.

Sorry.

Re: Request: Previous/Next Album Navigation

Hey,

I just noticed that the "prevnext" plugin doesn't work anymore (although it's still shown as activated).

Could you make it compatible with the current version, please?

I like it very much and find it quite useful, for example when I put my travel photos in galleries and can quickly go to the next site.

Thanks!
