Recordset Paging

Background info... I created a database driven slide show using Dreamweaver and ColdFusion which displays an enlarged photo within an album (detail.cfm). I am using the Dreamweaver "Recordset Paging" server behavior to allow the user to click "previous" and "next" to view each photo in the entire album. I am also using the "Show Starting Record" and "Show Total Records" server behaviors to display "3 of 10 photos". I have a link on the page which goes to a thumbnail index which displays the entire album in thumbnail form (thumbnail.cfm).

Here's my question... I want to be able to click a photo on the thumbnail.cfm page and have it go back to the detail.cfm page and have the photo display while keeping the album information (like navigation, # of records) so that it's like I navigated to that image using the Navigation buttons not the thumbnail page. Let's say there are 10 photos in the album and I click on the 3rd photo on the thumbnail page. I should be taken back to the detail.cfm page and the 3rd photo displays along with the "previous" and "next" buttons plus "3 of 10 photos". However, I can't figure out how to do that. I tried passing the #idPhoto# using the URL.scope from the thumbnails.cfm page and having the recordset on detail.cfm page process the #idPhoto# in the query string, but then the Navigation links and Show Starting/Total Records displays there is only 1 record which is true because I filtered it.

Any thoughts on how to link from the thumbnails.cfm page back to detail.cfm page, show the correct image that was clicked, within the album contents?

I found a post which seems like it's what I'm trying to do, but the language is ASP instead of ColdFusion. Link to Other Post

Thank you very much!
