图片网址和分页

Question

I am developing an image gallery site. Now I want to have unique URL for every image, like:

www.xyz.com/photos/aaaa.jpg

I am using CodeIgniter to implement pagination.

Pagination works fine, but I am getting a URL like:

/index.php/main/latest/5

I can remove pagination and get this URL, www.xyz.com/photos/aaaa.jpg but how can I go to the next/previous images? I am showing images on the basis of created date and have search functionality.

So I can I implement distinct URL and have pagination. So if any one can share an image and can navigate prev/next.

For example http://www.imdb.com/media/rm397582592/rg117676544, and you can still go to next/previous in this gallary.

Answer 1

i think you misunderstanding pagination and images urls:

pagination url looks like:

site.com/photos/3 /*where 3 is the pagination number of page or page offset*/

while image proper link looks like:

site.com/img/myimage.jpg

image link is a separated page or popup if you show image inside javascript popup for example

so you get 1 gallery page in which you paginate all images, once you click on a single image you get the single image page

so pagination links has nothing in common with the single image url
