I’ve been waiting for this functionality for months and now I find out someone has a solution, so lisa, she’s all yours 😊

Open up your categories display template - I use my index.

Find {/exp:gallery:entries}

Place this code right before it:

{paginate}
Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}
{/paginate}

*grins*

oh lisa :( you got my hopes up for nothing? I knew this reaction looked familiar: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/55770/#273824

Bob - you simply asked how to paginate gallery categories, I gave you code to do that.  You actually want to paginte the gallery categories list, which is quite a bit different.  You could do that using the query module as it has pagination, of course.

well actually, you just gave me code for paginating gallery entries, not categories. there is no {exp:gallery:entries} tags in the categories display template.

Gallery entries are shown per category when the category is specified within the URL.  I use the index template to show my gallery entries by category, but it has C12 or whatever appended in the third segment. That means that gallery categories are paginated.

You’re right, though, we’re both being a bit unclear in wording.  I’m paginating the list of entries when limited by category; from what you’re saying, you want to paginate the category list.

haha, I don’t think we’ll ever see eye to eye on thisone 😊

that being said, I hope you might still be willing to give me a little push in the right direction on how to create pagination using the query module? the wiki and the forums are giving me nothing.

Bob, before I do that - we need to see eye to eye on this.  What, exactly, is the display you are after?  Can you provide a link/screenshot/text description?

Is it something like:

Viewing category: apples

apple 1
apple 2
apple 3

Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3

Where Page 2 would have apple 4 5 6?

Or is it:

View a list of categories:

Apples
Oranges
Bananas

Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3

Pomegranates
Strawberries
Cherries

?

ok, this should do it:

Viewing category: apples

apple 1
apple 2
apple 3

Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3

this is entries pagination (where each apple represents an image), used within {exp:gallery:entries} tags.

I’m using it here.

View a list of categories:

Apples
Oranges
Bananas

Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3

this is category pagination, used within {exp:gallery:categories} tags, and what I’m hoping to achieve on this page.

Ok, so which of the two above scenarios do you need assistance with? My code will work for the former. For the second one, you’ll need a query, and you can just use limit and the paginate tags before {/exp:query}.

the second one 😊

aaaand, SUCCES!!

thank you so very much lisa! I just did a little dance in your honor.
