Hi All,

This may be a silly question, but I’m pretty new to ee and it’s late and I’m stumped.  I have a gallery with many images uploaded.  Within the one gallery, I have several categories which each have several children categories:

Parent 1
    Child 1
    Child 2
    Child 3
    Child 4
Parent 2
    Child 1
    Child 2
    You get the idea

What I’d like to do is call all the images from a single Parent category but then paginate by Child categories (some children have 1 image some have 10).

Perhaps it’d be more possible if I (or you if you’re being wonderful and helping me out on this) think of it as getting all the images from a single child and then having a link at the bottom that goes to the next child - so all images/captions/etc from Child 1 would be called and then at the bottom it would say something like “Child 2—>” and be a link to Child 2.

Not quite the same effect as paginating, but this might actually wind up being more user friendly. At this point, I’ll take what I can get. So if you know how I can do either of these things, please tell me and thank you thank you thank you!

In truth, I can’t think of a good way to do it.  You could try tweaking on this- basically if someone gets it working, you’d need to add some php to dynamically pull out the current cat id from the url- which is easy enough.  But for now, I’d work with it hard coded.

For now, replace ‘x’ with the cat id number of the current page you’re testing on.  What it should do is pull out all of the cats that have the same parent as the current cat.  Which gets you about halfway there- and obviously isn’t going to work on the main cat pages.  You’d want something different there.

But the glitch for me is figuring the offset.  Hm- wonder if you do a > cat_order and a limit one?  Not sure- but this is where I’d start.  Maybe fresh eyes can add onto it.
