Hey guys, Im trying to create a photo gallery where photos are listed,
but when a user clicks in to one, they can click next and previous.
Im trying to do the most efficient way here. Im thinking I need to store
the entire set of photos so I know where the photo is in relation to the
other photos in the set so I know the next photo and the previous.
I was thinking of flashing the photo set across the pages, that way I
dont have to do a database call.
I could put the photos into the session as well, that way I dont have to
worry about flashing all the time.
Any ideas? Keep in mind that I want to use as little server side
resources as possible. =)
Thanks in advance…
class Model < ARB
acts_as_list
end
Controller:
@object = Model.find(params[:id])
View:
@object.next
@object.previous

Hi Aryk G., you could try to make a picture slideshow with thumbnail
gallery templates. so that you’ll see the thumbnail the pictures while
they are playing. Flash SlideShow Builder is a good program for doing
that. http://www.flash-slide-show.com/flash-slide-show.php?sid=3
This software is easy-to-master, and no flash background knowledge is
required, yet you can still make an excellent flash slideshow with 200+
transition effects, background music, text caption, etc.
Hope this would help.

I tried out the acts_as_list plugin and it works great. Thats exactly
what I had in mind. Makes sense that rails would have plugin for it
already.
Can the paginator be used with :per_page => 1 ?
well its not as clean, because you would have to be calling the
paginator on everypage or transfer it between pages via flash, using a
list is much cleaner, and doesnt require you having to invoke a
paginator.
