I would like to have the thumbnail for the next and previous thumbnail for the next and previous picture below the single image instead of just the words next and previous. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Alrighty. I just added a feature to the Matrix layout to add thumbnails for the previous/next buttons. Get the latest code and check it out.

The way it works is that now there's a new data type that you can ask GalleryLayout::loadLayoutTemplate() for, called 'peerThumbnails'. This gives you the information you need to get a thumbnail for any of the peers.

In the matrix layout, I changed around the way that the navigator works a little bit so the first/back/next/last peers now all have a url and an item. Then in itemNavigator.tpl there are new blocks like this:

{g->image item=$layout.navigator.first.item image=$layout.navigator.first.item.thumbnail maxSize=40 class="giThumbImage"}

This drops in a thumbnail for the "<< first" item. I did it for all of them. It's not pretty, yet -- but it works. Let me know what you think.

I modified it a bit and added the imageframe code around it, made it the full size of the thumbnail and it works perfectly. I'm going to post a link when I figure out one more thing.
