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.
