Arrow Buttons Instead of Prev/Next in Pagelinks Bar & Masonry Problem

    Hi,

    I was wondering if arrow buttons could be implemented instead of the prev/next links in the pagelinks bar. The way I am thinking is that there should be an option in the settings for pagelink style one being the default and the second being the one where arrow buttons replace the prev/next links and are placed centrally around the thumbnail/album cover container for example if the width of the container is set to auto for responsive themes then wppa+ should alocate almost 90% of available width to the thumbnail container and the rest 10% to the arrow buttons. Here is a picture to show of how I think it should be shown instead of default. The styling of the buttons could be modified by css so that the user will be able to style them to match their website. This feature could be very useful and much more appealing then the default on the full-width one page themes that are out there. I am considering to use one as well but I rely heavily on your amazing plugin, so if you may consider adding this feature, I would be very grateful. Or if you can tell me if it can be done by css without you requiring to update the plugin, that would be good too.
    Another thing I was trying to use the masonry thumbnail styles the other day and I noticed that my pictures are the same size so the thumbnails are not generated in some small and some big way like masonry is supposed to, maybe there is a problem or maybe it just isn’t working with my current setup? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I will think about your suggestion of the page link buttons.

    The masonry style should work correctly, except for masonry style rows on responsive themes with internet explorer and google chrome.
    See the changelog of version 6.1.12.

    If you experience different, pls show me.

    Thank you for considering my suggestion, I hope it will become a part of the plugin ??

    The masonry style is somewhat not working, you can see here.

    Did you set Table I-A1 to auto or did you only set size=”0.97″ in the shortcode. If so, try Table I-A1 to auto. This is mandatory for responsive themes.

    It is auto in Table I-A1 the size 0.97 was only in shortcode but when even the shortcode is set to auto it still doesn’t work. Have a look here

    Okay so it is supposed to be like this but what about some thumbnails being bigger and some being smaller? Isn’t it part of masonry style?

    If your thumbnails all have the same aspect ratio ( and size ) and the pagesize is 12… Make the pagesize 13 ( Table I-C7 )

    Okay yes now it works, can you add a help page on your website that includes all the required settings to have masonry styles work perfectly? It should include that even pagesizes does not let masonry work completely because I searched the help docs but couldn’t find anything about it, I knew about the auto column width but not about the pagesize. Thanks for all the help, and for your plugin, it has helped me very much. I hope to see my suggestion in your plugin soon.

    Can I specifiy thumbnail size for larger thumbnails and smaller thumbnails in masonry?

    Yes, Table I-C1, but it is an approximation. The sizes will be reduced to make them fit on the available space.
