I have a single entry image page in the gallery with comments. I’d like to paginate the page by the comments. I had many troubles, but finally I found out how to get work the pagination links. It did not work when I had the comments tag nested inside the entries tag. Actually everything is working except the {auto_path}. This is my code in short:

{exp:gallery:entries gallery="gallery_name"}
...
{/exp:gallery:entries}
{exp:gallery:comments limit="5" orderby="date" sort="desc" paginate="both"}
{name}
{comment}
{paginate}
{if "{total_pages}" != 1}
{if previous_page}<a href="http://{auto_path}">Previous</a>{/if}
{pagination_links}
{if next_page}   <a href="http://{auto_path}">Next</a>{/if}
{/if}
{/paginate}
{/exp:gallery:comments}

The Next/Previous links are result in a link like this:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/gallery/image/6635/P5/{auto_path}">http://www.mysite.com/gallery/image/6635/P5/{auto_path}</a>

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?

Greetings FaithX:

Do you have a link we can see?  Also, what version/build of ExpressionEngine are you running? 

-greg

I am using: ExpressionEngine 1.6.6 20081114
I do not have a public link yet, and also I’ve commented this part out because of that problem. But I think You can easily reproduce this using the code above.

FaithX, can you try using {path} instead of {auto_path} in your template? Let us know if this works, please 😊

I will test it soon, and let You know.

I’ve found another two problems. The total comments count in the categories is not recalculated after I deleted some comments. And if accidentally happens, that total view count for the gallery entry is not accumulated with the categories total view count, then there’s not possibility to sync this. It would be nice to have a menu for this in the CP.

May I suggest we tackle one problem at a time? It makes it easier for us, too.

Thank You! That’s work!

I’ve tried deleting the comments again, and the total_comments field stayed the same. So there are inconsistent values there again. You can easily reproduce that.

Hi, FaithX - I just wanted to let you know that we are looking into this and will update you as soon as we have more information.  Thank you!

Thanks in advance!

Ah- yep, the category comment count getting ‘off’ when an entry is moved or deleted is a bug- we’re working on a fix now.  See the post in the bug forum thread for details.

Aside from the count bug, are you squared away on the pagination?

Everything’s OK now. Just the feature set for the Gallery is really weak. I’ve manage the image current number and total number while iterating full images by on SQL query. I plan to create a plugin for this in the future.

I think, You can close this thread.

Thanks for the update, FaithX!
