I have a client using Gallery (from IE5/Mac) who has put enough images into an album to have it page through them, 9 photos per page (3x3). When she clicks along to page 2 of her gallery, all works fine. Page 3, seems to work fine. If she tries to use her back button, she can back to page 2, but then gets page 2 again, instead of page 1. I have the same problem in IE6 on WinXP.

It looks like Gallery doesn't append a $page=1 to the first view of a gallery. Hence, her browser is remembering the last page viewed. (Which in the above instance of this error was $page=2)

Anyone have any ideas what I can look at or modify? Is this fixed in 1.4.3? I'm running 1.4.3-RC2

This is not fixed in 1.4.3 - any fix we added would just be a workaround, as this should work normally in the browser. We may look into adding something for 1.4.4, however.

Currently, I don't know of a workaround, although one could be created.

How would I modify the album links for the first page? Instead of going to "http://www.libbytolley.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Available-Paintings",
I'd like to have it go to "http://www.libbytolley.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Available-Paintings&page=1" when someone first clicks into an album.

Any ideas? Just some simple php?

This could be changed in the .htaccess file, however it might not work the way you expect, because the browser doesn't know that the URL has been changed.

Don't I start having to add a line there for each new gallery? That can get ugly...

Is there really no nice way to modify the initial link created in the php script so that $page is set when someone first clicks into an album?
